Weekend
Zooey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I don't know what I'ma do now
I just got out of the train and I'm wandering
See you next week is what he told
I gotta hammer way downtown and go over it
Is it a morning out of the butane
Your face is hanging over me and I like it
See you next week is what he told me
What a strange remedy

You make me fall apart
And I'm just coming down
There's no easy way out and I know it
So I just walk around sometimes I'm fallin' down
Trying to make my way out
And I'm early

And I know my mind's up to playing
And girly's asking me her way
And she reminds me of the new morning
When she turns to me and says

You make me fall apart
And i'm just falling down
'Cause there's no easy way out and I know it
So i just walk around sometimes I'm fallin' down
Trying to make my way out
And I'm early





La la la la la la.....

Overall Meaning

The song "Weekend" by Zooey is a tale of wandering and uncertainty. The singer seems lost and unsure of what to do, having just gotten off a train and not knowing where to go next. She mentions being told by someone that she will see them next week, but this only adds to her confusion as she finds herself alone and facing an unknown future.


Throughout the song, the singer's thoughts are scattered and fragmented. She mentions feeling like she's "falling apart" and "falling down," and there's a sense of disorientation and unease in her words. Yet, amidst all the uncertainty, there are moments of clarity and connection. She describes someone's face "hanging over" her and how she likes it, and she talks about a girl who asks her for directions and reminds her of a "new morning."


The song captures the feeling of being lost and searching for meaning. It's a reminder that sometimes we don't know where we're going or what we're doing, but that doesn't mean we can't find moments of beauty and connection along the way.

I love that Killam's Michael Cera is just Mickey Mouse trying to disguise a panic attack.

Yeah, I know it was all planned and everything, but Abby Elliott still had a lot of balls to perform her Zooey Deschanel right in front of the woman herself.

I just saw another one with Bill Hader playing Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews playing Ozzy. 😂
