FRIDAY NIGHT MOTHERFUCKER
V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another Friday night in her mind
And I’m woken up
High on the connection we got
You know she never stops
She’s got the life I’ll never give up
Every time that it’s closing in
we’ll run the daylight, let this night begin
To live a life that never ends
Like gold in the black
Gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Like gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Gold in the black
Dressed in gold
She don’t need luck, she bringing her own
When the light is gone
Look into my eyes and tell me I’m wrong
When you're aflame
The morning sky is never the same
We’ll bring you back
To another fabulous Friday Night
Tell me did you read the signs?
Flying
Round n’ round
Illuminate the
Darkness
Around, all
You
Need
Is
Going
Higher, Hold on
Tight
Like gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Like gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Gold in the black
Reset the sunset, let us start again
To live a life that never ends
Like gold in the black
Gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Like gold in the black (like a Friday Night)
Gold in the black
In "Friday Night Motherfucker," the singer is awoken on another Friday night by the thought of a woman who never stops. They share a certain connection that fills the singer with high energy that seems to never wane. The woman is described as having a life that the singer would never give up, something that seems to be at odds with the feeling that the singer has - that this Friday night could be a night that never ends. The lyrics talk about running through the daylight to let the night begin, and resetting the sunset to live a life that never ends. The phrase "gold in the black" seems to represent the shining moments in the darkness of night that can never happen again, like the Friday night the singer is experiencing with this woman.
The lyrics of "Friday Night Motherfucker" suggest that the night is not just about partying, but also about holding onto the glimmers of happiness and hope that shine through the dark times. The singer wants to live in this moment forever, where he feels like he's dressed in gold, like the woman he's thinking about. The song suggests that the bright moments in life are fleeting, but they can still be held onto as long as we can reset the sunset and let the night continue.
