Saturday
twenty one pilots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not a sound (whoa) on Wednesday, yeah
Might get loud (ayy) on Friday
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
We paint the town
Lose my sense a time or two
Weeks feel like days
And I just want to know
Have you lost your footing, too?
I just pray that I'm not losing you
Catch me floatin' circles in my fishbowl
Keep things fresh
She said that I should change my clothes
I exaggerate the life we used to know, oh, oh
Slow down on Monday
Not a sound (whoa) on Wednesday, yeah
Might get loud (ayy) on Friday
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
We paint the town
Ooh, you're good
These are my dancin' shoes
We paint the town
Ooh, you're good
Thought I would dance with you
Might get loud (ayy) on Friday
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
We paint the town
(Feelin' great)
Life moves slow on the ocean floor (feelin' great)
I can't feel the waves anymore
Did the tide forget to move?
I just pray that I'm not losin' you
Catch me floatin' circles in my fishbowl
Keep things fresh
She said that I should change my clothes
I exaggerate the life we used to know, oh, yeah
Working on music?
Yeah
I, I'll just go to bed, I'm tired
I wanna watch Friends with you
Oh, if you feel like you have time to do a song or you're inspired
You should just go for it
(Oh) slow down on Monday (yeah, yeah)
Not a sound on Wednesday
Might get loud on Friday
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
We paint the town
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
(We paint, paint, oh)
Might get loud on Friday
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
The song "Saturday" by twenty one pilots is a reflection on the mundanity of everyday life and the importance of taking a break from it. The song opens with the lines "Slow down on Monday, not a sound (whoa) on Wednesday, yeah, might get loud (ayy) on Friday, but on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, we paint the town." This is a commentary on the routine nature of the workweek and the relief and excitement that comes with the weekend. The song goes on to describe the feeling of losing oneself and how weeks can feel like days due to the monotony of everyday life. Tyler Joseph, lead vocalist, compares himself to a fish in a bowl- "catch me floating circles in my fishbowl." He also denies the exaggeration of his past life, "I exaggerate the life we used to know."
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the fun and excitement that comes with a change of routine in the weekend. "We paint the town" is a symbolic metaphor that hints at the possibility of going wild and trying new things. In the second verse, Tyler Joseph includes a conversation with his partner or friend who encourages him to pursue his music, even if he is tired or unsure of himself. The song ends by repeating the chorus, emphasizing the carefree enjoyment that comes with being young and free.
Line by Line Meaning
Slow down on Monday
Take it easy at the start of the week
Not a sound (whoa) on Wednesday, yeah
Quiet, uneventful days in the middle of the week
Might get loud (ayy) on Friday
Anticipating the excitement of the weekend
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
The pinnacle of the week, time to have fun
We paint the town
We go out and make the most of our time
Lose my sense a time or two
Feel overwhelmed and out of touch sometimes
Weeks feel like days
Time has a way of feeling compressed
Medicate in the afternoon
Using drugs or alcohol to cope with stress
And I just want to know
Feeling unsure and seeking answers
Have you lost your footing, too?
Wondering if someone else is going through a rough patch
I just pray that I'm not losing you
Expressing concern about losing someone important
Catch me floatin' circles in my fishbowl
Feeling adrift and unsure of what to do
Keep things fresh
Trying to maintain excitement in life
She said that I should change my clothes
Getting fashion advice from someone else
I exaggerate the life we used to know, oh, oh
Nostalgic for the past and maybe not remembering it accurately
Ooh, you're good
Complimenting someone
These are my dancin' shoes
Ready to have a good time
Thought I would dance with you
Inviting someone to dance
Life moves slow on the ocean floor (feelin' great)
A metaphor for feeling content and at peace
I can't feel the waves anymore
No longer experiencing highs and lows in life
Did the tide forget to move?
Wondering if something is wrong with the world
Working on music?
Asking about someone's musical pursuits
I, I'll just go to bed, I'm tired
Feeling tired and maybe avoiding work
I wanna watch Friends with you
Wanting to spend time with someone special
Oh, if you feel like you have time to do a song or you're inspired
Encouraging someone to work on music
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Instrumental bridge
We paint, paint, oh
Continuing to emphasize the fun of going out
