Saturday
Promise Ring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me want to marry her memories, madly.
And she slept across the ocean as we crossed the ocean.
And I got cross with the ocean.
The opening lines of Promise Ring's "Saturday" set the tone for the rest of the song. The use of "white wine" as a descriptor is significant, as it is often associated with luxury and celebration. The singer's desire to "marry her memories" shows a deep longing for a connection with the past, as if trying to hold onto pleasant moments that have already passed. The word "madly" also suggests a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is grasping for something that might slip away.
The next line introduces an element of distance and separation, as the singer and their love interest are on opposite sides of the ocean. The repetition of the phrase "crossed the ocean" serves to emphasize this divide, and the singer's frustration with the situation is evident in the final line. The use of the word "cross" suggests conflict or struggle, as if the ocean is an obstacle preventing the two from being together.
Overall, "Saturday" explores themes of longing, nostalgia, and distance, drawing on relatable experiences of love and loss to create an emotional and poignant narrative.
Line by Line Meaning
She drank white wine.
Her choice of beverage was white wine.
Makes me want to marry her memories, madly.
Her reminiscences are so enamoring that I feel compelled to be bound to them forever.
And she slept across the ocean as we crossed the ocean.
As we were voyaging across the ocean, she rested on the other side of it.
And I got cross with the ocean.
I became irate with the ocean, for being an impediment in our togetherness.
