It could be about being trapped in a dead end way of life and thinking there must be something more. You drive around, you seemingly have everything; girlfriend, money, car, gas. You spend all week at your 9to5 job and the only thing you have to look forward to is maybe this time, this Saturday night will be the one that changes your life. What you really get is drunk enough to forget that you have know idea how to find real happiness. "stumblin on to the heart of saturday night".

Good interpretation jacksun, there is that subtext of sadness there, despite the focus being on all things exciting and stimulating. The melancholy tear in the eye.

@jacksun nailed it
