Come on quick we still have timeTo lose ourselves in our state of mindLet's leave this place before we stand here all aloneAnd the music's out and we've got no place else to goSome say that people revolveLet's not get stuck on a carrousel-ride while desperately trying to get offLet's leave this place before we stand here all aloneAnd the music's out and we've got no place we can go‚cause nothing really happens hereThe people are just like anywhere elseThey seem to know it all, they see so far awayI just can't seem to concentrateCome on quick we still have timeTo lose ourselves in our state of mindLet's get out of this place before we stand here all aloneAnd the music's out and we've got no place else to go´cause nothing really happens hereThe people are just like anywhere elseThey seem to know it all, they seem so far awayI just can't concentrate
The lyrics of Readymade's song "Saturday Morning" paint a picture of a group of people who are desperately seeking an escape from the mundanity of everyday life. The song is filled with a sense of urgency, with the singer urging his friends to leave the place they find themselves in before they get stuck there all alone. He wants to lose himself in his state of mind, and the music is the means to get there.
The song seems to be about the desire for something more in life, something beyond the humdrum routine of work and daily life. The singer seems to be surrounded by people who are content with the status quo, who are just like anywhere else. They seem to know it all and see so far away, but the singer can't seem to concentrate. He wants to break free, to escape the carousel-ride of life that traps so many people.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of restlessness and a longing for something more in life. It's a call to action for the listener to break free from the routine and find their own escape, whether that's through music or some other means.
