Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weekends over we can begin it.
Over sunday follow monday,
No this is a saturday
And i'm feelin' great
One thing left to do
(time to say)
(time to say)
Beautiful day
These days are few
And far between
So fet on your feet
And sing along with angels
As they cry
Thank you for life
Never taking any breath or any second
For granted i will fail yet i will try
I will try
Sun is sinking
Air is cooling
Day is dieing
Night arriving
White wash
Ocean waves
No place i'd rather be
No wind no crowd
Only friends out
This is our hope
This is your song
(time to say)
Beautiful day
(time to say)
Beautiful day
These days are few
And far between
So feet on your feet
And sing along with angels
As they cry
Thank you for life
Always taking every breath and every second
Moment opprotunity
To shine
Thank you for life
Never taking any breath or any second
For granted i will fail yet i will try
Thank you for life
Always taking every breath and every second
Moment opprotunity
To shine
Thank you for life
Never taking any breath or any second
For granted i will fail yet i will try
The song Saturday by Olivia the Band is an uplifting and joyful ode to the beauty of life and the gratitude for every moment. The song starts with the idea of the transition from Friday night to Saturday morning, which signifies the beginning of a new day full of possibilities. The lyrics emphasize the feeling of gratitude towards life, which is reflected in the repeated line "Thank you for life," reminding the listener to appreciate every moment without taking anything for granted. It's a reminder to live in the present and enjoy the simple moments that make life worthwhile.
As the song progresses, the listener is invited to join in the celebration of life as the band sings "Beautiful day, these days are few and far between, so feet on your feet, and sing along with angels as they cry." The message conveyed through the lyrics is that life is fleeting, and it's essential to celebrate every beautiful day as if it's your last. The bridge of the song makes a shift in the tone, to a more introspective one, where the singer acknowledges that life may not always be easy, and we may fail, but we should keep trying and pushing forward nonetheless.
Overall, the song Saturday is a beautiful reminder to appreciate life, live in the moment, and be grateful for every second of it.

This song takes me back. Came out like ten years ago and I don't understand how it's already been that long.
