Interpretation
The song lyrics "Weekend" by
Mac Miller are about the ups and downs of life and how the artist deals with them. Mac Miller describes how he handles money, saying, "I got a little bit of money fillin' my pockets". He feels powerful and invincible, as if he's ruling the world. He also has his own problems, "I've been broken-hearted, now it's fuck that bitch", but he tries to cope with them by getting high and partying.
However, Mac Miller realizes that he's doing too much and that it's becoming too much for him. He says, "Conversations we having, I'm getting too static, Too much on my plate, Lord, I need me a break". He feels overwhelmed and needs a break from everything. But he knows he'll be fine when the weekend comes, "But I'll be good by the weekend, I'll be good by the weekend, Everything good by the weekend, Everything will be good by the weekend". The weekend is a kind of timeout for him to rest and recharge.
The lyrics also touch on Mac Miller's relationship with women. He describes how he's with different women but doesn't have an emotional connection. He says, "Never will I walk in line, I cross the T's and dot the I's, Wonderin', well, Wonderin' how I got this high". He's not ready to commit or develop real feelings. He enjoys the freedom and thrill, but sometimes also feels lonely, "These bitches don't know me, This shit is so lonely until she get naked".
The lyrics also express Mac Miller's love for music. He mentions how he takes drugs and gets drunk to enhance his creativity, "Get it over the counter, I'm stuck on the browsers, Like, how did I make it?". Music is his passion and drive in life.
Overall, the lyrics are about Mac Miller's lifestyle, the ups and downs he faces, and his search for balance in the form of the weekend. He recognizes that he needs peace and rest to cope with his fast-paced lifestyle, and that he can recover during the weekend to get back on track.
