Weekend
Noirre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living for the weekend
Is living for a reason
I know
When the well’s run dry
We rely on the soul
And if your soul is bleeding
I hope
That you realize
That your time in life is short
So watch your step when you walk away from here
And do what makes you happy
Not somebody else
Picking up the pieces
In twenty years you’ll feel it
Well I won’t
When the well’s run dry we rely on the soul
(And I know)
And if you only do what you’ve got to do
Then you can only lose what you’ve got to lose
Well I won’t
So tell me your eyes are open and…
Watch your step when you walk away from here
And do what makes you happy
Not somebody else

In "Weekend" by Noirre, the lyrics explore the idea of finding purpose and meaning in life. The song begins by expressing the sentiment that living for the weekend is living for a reason. This suggests that the weekend represents a break from the monotony of everyday life, and it becomes a source of joy and fulfillment. However, as the lyrics progress, the song delves deeper into the idea of relying on the soul when the well of external sources runs dry. The soul is portrayed as the essence of a person, and its pain and suffering are compared to bleeding. The question is posed: if the soul is suffering, what is the point of continuing to breathe? This line challenges the listener to reflect on their own life and realize the fleeting nature of time.
The chorus serves as a reminder to be cautious and intentional when deciding to leave a place or situation. It urges the listener to do what makes them happy rather than trying to please others. The repetition of the phrase "watch your step when you walk away from here" emphasizes the importance of being mindful and intentional in one's actions. The subsequent lines express the belief that by only doing what needs to be done, one can only lose what they already have. This can be interpreted as a call to take risks and pursue genuine happiness rather than settling for a life of mediocrity.
In summary, "Weekend" encourages the listener to seek fulfillment beyond temporary escapes like weekends or external sources. It emphasizes the importance of listening to one's soul, being true to oneself, and taking control of one's own happiness.
Line by Line Meaning
Living for the weekend
Finding purpose and joy in the experiences and activities that occur during the weekend
Is living for a reason
Living with a sense of purpose and motivation
I know
Having a deep understanding or awareness of this truth
When the well’s run dry
When resources or inspiration become depleted
We rely on the soul
Turning to our inner self or spirit for strength and guidance
And if your soul is bleeding
If your inner self or spirit feels wounded or distressed
Then what’s the point of breathing
Questioning the purpose or value of life
I hope
Expressing a desire or wish
That you realize
Hoping that one becomes aware or understanding of something
That your time in life is short
Acknowledging the briefness and limited nature of one's existence
So watch your step when you walk away from here
Be cautious and mindful of your actions or choices as you move on from this situation
And do what makes you happy
Engage in activities or pursue paths that bring joy and fulfillment
Not somebody else
Not based on others' expectations or desires
Picking up the pieces
Dealing with the aftermath or consequences of past actions or events
In twenty years you’ll feel it
The long-term impact or effects will be evident after a considerable amount of time
Well I won’t
Refusing to experience or be affected by those negative consequences
And if you only do what you’ve got to do
If you solely focus on fulfilling obligations or necessities
Then you can only lose what you’ve got to lose
The potential consequences or losses are limited to what you currently possess
So tell me your eyes are open and…
Assuming that one is fully aware and perceptive

Gene Raymond was a big star in the '30s. He had much lighter, wavier hair, then. If you recall actor, Jiseph Cotten; he had a similar hair style. Gene Raymond was also a good crooner. He later married a box office favorite: Jeanette MacDonlald, who was frequently co-starred with Nelson Eddy.

"Jiseph" was my favorite Grand Uncle until well, um, the secret went public.

Good film! In the early sixties, we lived in Canoga Park, in the San Fernando valley. We lived on Lederer Ave. Mr. Lederer had an estate just north of us.

The leading lady, so extraordinarily beautiful.

If you think she looks like a dude I’d like to see your definition of a babe!
Or were you just holding on to that line to use it the first time someone set it up for you.
Pro tip: The joke is much funnier if the woman actually looks like a dude…
David Couch
I thought Ella Raines.
Floyd Grove
Yeah, for a dude!

Very enjoyable straightforward story. Excellent actors bring it to life. Likable, sympathetic leading man and lady. Nicely directed by star Gene Raymond, too. I liked the girl near the end who brought the sleazeball his coffee. I would have liked to see a whole movie about her! She had a cute laugh.
Thanks for posting this!

@Irv O. Neil Not only that, they make us fall in love, they make us cry, they are so emotional, so good !
Irv O. Neil
@willy mueller Yes, and it's poignant to think about. That's what these old films do--sometimes I think they're designed to make us fall in love.
