Lost Weekend
Tiny Victories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It disappears in slow motion as you twist it in time
I said "The devil takes the first one and you were the first one
to breakdown,
a serious shakedown"
So now you...
Spend a lost weekend
Spend a lost weekend
walking around in your head
I know you, you got a stereo heart
You got an ache in your mind, and that's a bad way to start.
I know "The devil takes the first one and you were the first one
to breakdown,
a serious shakedown"
So now you...
Spend a lost weekend
walking around in your head
Spend a lost weekend
walking around in your head
The lyrics to Tiny Victories's song Lost Weekend describe a person who is struggling with their inner demons and experiencing a mental breakdown. The opening line, "Send me a postcard from the edge of your mind," suggests that the person is on the brink of losing control and is sending a message to someone from that precarious edge. The phrase "It disappears in slow motion as you twist it in time" implies that the person is aware of their own unraveling and is trying to slow it down, but is ultimately powerless to stop it.
The following lines, "I said 'The devil takes the first one and you were the first one to breakdown, a serious shakedown'" point to the idea that the person has already experienced some sort of trauma, and that trauma is now manifesting in their current state of mind. The repetition of the phrase "Spend a lost weekend walking around in your head" serves to reinforce the idea that the person is trapped in their own thoughts and is struggling to find a way out. The second verse describes the person's struggle with depression and anxiety, using the metaphor of a "stereo heart" and an "ache in your mind" to paint a picture of their internal struggle.
Overall, the lyrics to Lost Weekend speak to the experience of grappling with one's own mental health and the feeling of being stuck in one's own head.
