SATURDAY
Beyond Saturdays: Love, Loss, and Redemption in Nikko Raguso's Melody
Lyrics
The world doesn't spin after saturday
The world loses its charm or significance after Saturday.
Foggy memory we were in too deep
Our memories are unclear, and we were deeply involved in something.
The girl that I love packed her bags today
The girl the speaker loves has left, indicating a breakup or departure.
But for heavens sake I'll still pray for you
Despite the situation, the speaker expresses a commitment to pray for the girl.
May I stopped and looked at you
The speaker paused to observe or contemplate someone or something in May.
June I started talking
In June, the speaker began conversing or connecting with someone.
July I started falling
By July, the speaker started falling in love or becoming emotionally invested.
August tears are balling
In August, tears are falling, suggesting a period of sadness or emotional distress.
Not because I fucked it up
The speaker acknowledges past mistakes but claims the current situation is not one of them.
Like nine times out of ten I do
Admitting a tendency to mess things up but emphasizing an exception in this case.
It's because you know I'd treat you right
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's belief in treating the girl right, countered by her skepticism.
You don't think that's good for you
-It's because you know I'd treat you right
-You don't think that's good for you
-It's because you know I'd treat you right
-You don't think that's good for you
-The world doesn't spin after saturday
Reiteration that the world loses significance or joy after Saturday.
Foggy memory we were in too deep
Reiteration of unclear memories and being deeply involved.
The girl that I love packed her bags today
Reiteration of the girl leaving or packing her bags.
But for heavens sake I'll still pray for you
Reiteration of the commitment to pray for the departed girl.
May I stopped and looked at you
Repetition of pausing to look at someone or something in May.
June I started talking
Repetition of starting a conversation or connection in June.
July I started falling
Repetition of falling in love or becoming emotionally invested in July.
August tears are balling
Repetition of tears falling in August, indicating ongoing emotional distress.
Not because I fucked it up
Reiteration that the speaker's current sadness is not due to personal mistakes.
Like nine times out of ten I do
Repetition of acknowledging a tendency to mess things up but claiming an exception.
It's because you know I'd treat you right
Continued repetition of the speaker insisting on treating the girl right, countered by her doubt.
You don't think that's good for you
-It's because you know I'd treat you right
-You don't think that's good for you
-It's because you know I'd treat you right
-You don't think that's good for you
-It's because you know I'd treat you right
Final repetition emphasizing the speaker's belief in treating the girl right, met with her skepticism.
You don't think that's good for you
