Friday Night
Twarres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to sleep trying to forget
All night you're thinking about what's right and who is wrong
They say it's not so bad but the words all sound so strong
You just don't know
What's going on
There's no one here to tell you that you still belong
You feel all alone and you have so much to say
When you go down the stairs they are fighting and crying
It's friday night, they're lying
It ain't always easy to grow up on your own
No one to help, you have to do it all alone
No one to catch your ball if you wanna play a game
No one who looks like you and no one who feels the same
You just don't know what's going on
There's no one here to tell you that you still belong
Every friday night everything's gonna be oke
You feel all alone and you have so much to say
When you go down the stairs they are fighting and crying
It's friday night, they're lying
Every friday night everything's gonna be oke
You feel all alone and you have so much to say
But you know when you go down the stairs they are fighting and crying
It's friday night, they're lying.
The song "Friday Night" by Twarres is a poignant exploration of the challenges of growing up alone without the guidance of parents or mentors. The song speaks of the struggles of a young person who is grappling with the harsh realities of life, where words sound strong and opinions are often divided. The song begins on a Friday night when the singer is trying to get some sleep but is unable to due to the tumultuous thoughts in their head. As they try to forget everything and drift off to sleep, they realize that they have nobody to turn to and feel lost, unsure of what is right and what is wrong.
The lyrics go on to describe the isolation and loneliness that come with growing up alone, where there is nobody to turn to for help, or even someone to play with. The singer feels like an outsider in their community, unable to connect with anyone due to the lack of commonality with their peers. However, the chorus of the song provides a glimmer of hope, where everything is going to be okay, at least for that one night, every Friday. But the hope is short-lived, as the singer realizes that the fighting and the lies that they witness every Friday night only add to their alienation and despair.
Overall, "Friday Night" is a poignant and emotionally charged song that speaks to the challenges of growing up alone without any support, guidance, or sense of belonging. It is a moving tribute to the indomitable spirit of youth, who despite all the odds find ways to cope and overcome the challenges that life throws their way.

@stefannafets63 Twarres bestaat nog in een andere opstelling. Je kunt hun eerste cd nog kopen via hun eigen webwinkel. Johan is helaas gestopt, maar ze zijn met een andere zanger verder gegaan.
