Weekend
Rae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One seat left and you moved over and it was on
Conversation was more than ordinary
Young girl bought the things you sold her
And on and on
Summertime flies and we got a little bit older
Got me so high but everybody comes down (everybody comes down)
Alright, guess it was a past life
I haven't seen you around
But it's alright, I'm alright, ah
Soft light hits me on the high line
So go on fooling around
I'll be alright, I'm alright, ah
Life goes on
New York, new arrangements
No more sleeping on your shoulder
I'm moving on
In the park, there's a violin beginning
Like a movie kind of closure
And on and on
Summertime flies and we got a little bit older
Got me so high but everybody comes down
Working it out, working it out
Alright, guess it was a past life
I haven't seen you around
But it's alright, I'm alright, ah
Soft light hits me on the high line
So go on fooling around
I'll be alright, I'm alright, ah
In these lyrics, Rae reflects on a weekend love affair and the complexities of moving on.
The opening lines "Weekend love, eyes like invitations, one seat left and you moved over and it was on" suggest that the encounter between Rae and their love interest happened spontaneously. The eyes of the person Rae meets seem inviting, drawing them closer. It implies a sense of attraction and excitement in the beginning of their relationship.
The line "Conversation was more than ordinary, young girl bought the things you sold her" highlights the depth of their connection. The conversation between Rae and their love interest goes beyond surface-level small talk, indicating a meaningful and genuine connection. The metaphorical phrase "young girl bought the things you sold her" suggests that Rae was initially captivated by the promises or ideas this person presented, possibly referring to the allure of the other person's charm or enticing promises.
As time passes, the lyrics mention "Summertime flies, and we got a little bit older." This suggests that their relationship has progressed or changed over time. Despite the initial excitement, Rae acknowledges that "everybody comes down" from the high of infatuation or intense emotions. This line suggests the reality of facing the ups and downs in any relationship, and the need to work through challenges and settle into a more balanced state.
The subsequent lines "Guess it was a past life, I haven't seen you around, but it's alright, I'm alright" signify the distance between Rae and their love interest. Rae acknowledges that their relationship was perhaps a fleeting moment, like a past life. They haven't seen the person recently, possibly indicating a separation or the end of their relationship. However, Rae expresses a sense of acceptance and reassurance that they are okay, despite the absence or change in their connection.
The final lines highlight the theme of moving on. The mention of "new arrangements" in New York suggests a fresh start or new phase of life for Rae. They let go of the comfort and familiarity of leaning on the other person's shoulder and embrace the idea of moving forward independently. The reference to a violin playing in the park symbolizes a moment of closure, like a scene from a movie. The lyrics end with the repetition of "I'll be alright, I'm alright," suggesting that although Rae experienced a love affair and its eventual ending, they are resilient and will be okay.
