| Blaqk Audio – On A Friday Lyrics

I take it at absolute face value cause really, it's not that far off from a lot of things, plus it fits with electronic music in general perfectly. Getting smashed and hooking up, snorting everything in sight and getting into cars, sounds like an average friday or saturday night for millions of people across the globe. It's practically a written description of massive and afterparty action. |

As a girl who can occasionally be found in a pile on a bathroom floor at 5am, I think you nailed this meaning. It really follows perfectly how club life can be beautiful and amazing at the time, but a lot of stupid things can happen, you hurt like hell for the next day or three depending on substances consumed, and a few years on down the road you can really see the toll it can take. A lot of people hide in the clubs and a few even wind up dead from ODs or dangerous situations they unthinkingly get into. This song I think, is not about vampires or plastic surgery, but really about the club and party scene. Also, keep in mind Blaqk Audio came out so close to this album, it's entirely plausible that Davey was witnessing these things in that time period. |

I just herd this song for the first time and after a few replays, I officially can't listen to it without it breaking my heart and putting me on the verge of tears. It's just my life in a nutshell and I really hate it when people point out to me that while my life is wicked awesome, it's also a razor thin road with destruction on both sides. It's so sweet and I really don't know what to think. All things considered, it's gotta be about the perils of the club kid and/or rock and roll lifestyle. |

I'm pretty sure this is a drug song, specifically cocaine. "Snowing in your brain" is a pretty universal coke reference, and the whole "every one turns into seven" is a pretty common description of how one line of coke tends to lead to another and another and another. It's not necessarily even an addiction thing, it's just that taking a line or two of coke very rarely means only doing that much. Usually one or two lines put your brain into what I call "coke mode" where you don't think you're that fucked up and doing another line is comparable to having another beer. That's just my personal experience with coke though.
I'm glad Placebo released this song cause the way I interpret the lyrics (accurate or not) gives me a song that asks me questions and makes me check my life for a second to make sure I'm sane and safe. I'm heavily into the club and rave scene which means things can get a little crazy in the party department and this song makes me stop for a second and evaluate my life to make sure I'm not going too fast or getting in too deep.
