Fall Out Boy - Saturday Song MeaningsLyrics:I'm good to go And I'm going nowhere fast It could be worse I could be taking you there with me I'm good to go But it looks like I... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: Puffin Added: 2005-11-06 16:58:03 Rating:   This song is about suicide. A boy wants to kill himself on a Saturday.
Submitted by: cherryxbliss The song does seem to be about suicide, but what I find interesting is that there is no real reason behind it. Pete leaves us that, at least, to figure out on our own (although keeping with the theme of "Take This to Your Grave", it's probably because of that pesty girl that keeps ruining his life). I think the narrotor wants to kill himself becasue he's never truely experienced life ("I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived"). He's been going throught the motions("Though the motions I've been going through have failed"), but hasn't yet found whatever passion drives him to want to excell. He's sick of life just being "normal"("I'm going nowhere fast"), so he decides to end it while he can. He also points out in the begining that there's no point stopping him, that he's got his mind made up and that's that. ("It could be worse, I could be taking you there with me")
Submitted by: EmoKing He's probably looking at the pros and cons of suicide- trying to see if he should do it, or trying to talk to someone about it.
Submitted by: anonymous I read this song was about them getting their big break as a band, "two more weeks, my foot is in the door"... and just waiting until saturday so that they can play their next show and take that next step.
Submitted by: CryEmoBoy You people are fucking nuts, this song is about making it as a band. They play one show, they're so excited they're making it they "Can't sleep in the wake of Saturday" and "these open doors were open ended" because anything could happen. He can't wait until two more weeks, for another Saturday, another show.
Submitted by: FOB_Unit21 Has anyone seen the Saturday Music Video? What was that about?
Submitted by: anonymous What does "Pete and I attacked the laws of Astoria" mean then?
Submitted by: anonymous It's about regretting the way they've been living their life. He watched people take life for granted and let it pass them by and swore he would never do that himself, except he fianlly realizes he did do it, and now he is talking about all his regret of never really living life. That's what I gathered but I'm probably wrong.
Submitted by: anonymous Astoria-A city of northwest Oregon near the mouth of the Columbia River if that means anything. That's what it said on dictionary.com so w/e
Submitted by: anonymous The Ataris have a song calles "So Long, Astoria".
Submitted by: anonymous For this song the music was actually written before the lyrics. Patrick wrote the music because he was graduating and felt like he hadn't done anything with his life so he went to pete to get some lyrics wrote. The line "pete and I" was actually pat and I but patrick doesn't like being called pat and pete hoped no one would notice if he put himself in his own song. Also some of the lines are actually co-written by patrick so ha!Get your facts straight posers
Submitted by: anonymous The whole excitement of a show is probably right, Astoria is a gig venue in london, so maybe they done a gig they and are looking forward to the next gig
Submitted by: anonymous The Ataris song, "so long astoria" is actually in reference to the film "the goonies" so I don't think it has anything to do with this song
Submitted by: psPatrick2707 I think it's a mix of everyone's interpretations. It's about someone who's bored with normal life and is trying to hit it big but also nervous about if they'll fail. like when they say "I've never really lived more than an hour" they mean when they play they feel alive and so they're trying so hard to feel like that and do it for a job. It has nothing to do with suicide it's about taking a chance at doing what you have passion for.
Submitted by: anonymous Hmm.. Astoria is a venue in London! Thats what I thought it meant..
Submitted by: anonymous I am confumbled, "So Long, Astoria" I now came out in 2003 around the same time fall out boy released "take this to your grave" I know that would not have giving them a lot of time to right the song... when I listened to the song the first time I knew that the Ataris had a song called "So Long, Astoria" but I don't think that they wrote it about the Ataris song.. There wouldn't have been enough time... So.... yeah I don't know, that is my opinion. If you can help me please!
Submitted by: anonymous The line "Pete and I" was actually "Pat and I" but Patrick doesn't like being called Pat and Pete hoped no one would notice if he put himself in his own song.
Submitted by: anonymous This song is about suicide. A boy wants to kill himself on a Saturday.
Submitted by: anonymous The song was written by Patrick. It was a last minute addition to Take this to your grave
Submitted by: anonymous THIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT SUICIDE!!!! I think this song is about wanting to make a change." I'm good to go and I'm going nowhere fast"means he is ready to make a change, but whatever he tried before didn't work. He decides to do something drastic two weeks from then on a saturday (2 more weeks, my foot is in the door,yeah, I can't sleep in the wake of saturday) and also having to mature yourself to make said change(promise and precision, no messed up youthful indescision.)
