Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Promise me you won't regret me like the tattoos on my skin
Like the wrong pill
Promise me when they all love you that you’ll remember me
When you fuck them, you'll see my face
My body is yours
Every Thursday
Ooh, oh yeah
'Cause everything you do leads to them, why?
Run, run
But baby, I could be your best friend (Ooh)
And baby, I could fuck you right (Ooh whoa)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you could have it all
Baby, you could have it all
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star
Woah, you're blaming all your sins on your best friends
And nothing's ever, ever your fault
Nothing's your fault baby, no
Well baby, you don't need your best friends (Woah, oh woah)
'Cause I got everything you want (Ooh ooh, yeah)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh baby)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star, baby you could be a star
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh)
Baby, you could have it all (Ooh yeah)
Baby, you can have the cars, the clothes, the jewels, the sex, the house
Baby, you could be a star (Ooh yeah)
Yes, all I could say is yes
Promise me you won't regret me like the tattoos on my skin
Like the wrong pill
Promise me when they all love you that you will remember me
When you fuck them, you'll see my face
My body is yours
Give them any other day but Thursday
You belong to me
Every Thursday
I'll wait for you
I'll be beautiful for you
Every Thursday
I exist
Only on Thursday
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
But on Thursday, Thursday
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (Sunday)
But on Thursday
I love the guitars
The Weeknd's "Lonely Star" is a song about a woman who he has a deep connection with, but who is seeking pleasure and validation elsewhere. He pleads with her to promise that she won't regret him like the tattoos on his skin or the wrong pill, and to remember him when she's with other people. He wants her to know that he'll always be there for her, as her best friend and as a lover who can fulfill her needs. The lyrics combine desperation and vulnerability with a sense of ownership over the woman, as he declares that her body is his and that he exists only for her on Thursdays.
While the song may seem like a straightforward plea for affection and loyalty, it also touches on some deeper themes such as addiction, regret, and the fear of being forgotten. The Weeknd's use of the phrase "like the wrong pill" suggests a sense of self-destructive behavior, possibly on the part of both parties. The recurring mention of Thursdays as the only day that matters implies a sense of ritual or routine, and the idea that the relationship exists only in a limited space.
