Weekend
Sodastream Lyrics

The song Weekend by Australian indie rock band Sodastream is a melancholic but deeply reflective tune spoken from a place of regret and uncertainty. The song speaks of the nights that have turned murky because of poor decision making and the consequences that follow, shown through the lyrics, "Here in the later blue night, Constance came to get it, stayed up and beaten till blind, the rest of us let it". The lines depict the image of someone who should have been feeling good in what should have been a good evening, but ended up being miserable and blind, maybe due to the effects of alcohol or drugs. The singer speaks from a place of disappointment and resignation, knowing that she can't undo the damage that's been caused.

The chorus "Gone, gone again, I left it with you, she held the light and it's all I can do, continue tonight" gives off a feeling of detachment from something lost, almost like the singer has given up on trying to get something back, maybe a relationship or a sense of self. The lead singer continues to lament on his decision, wishing he had waited to hurt his lover. The song speaks of the challenges and implications of taking responsibility for our actions and the possibility of things going bad even with good intentions. The line, "the weekend, yes the weekend was fine" portrays the emotions of fleeting happiness that we all encounter. However, the lyrics keep reminding us that good things come to an end, asking us, "Continue tonight 'till the early grey light? But continue to fight".
