She wants him to “drink from” her and promises that if he does find his sustenance in her, that they’ll “shoot across the sky”–he’ll be amazed by how good things will be as they go “so high.” In the Intro, Beyonce sings, “Drink from me, drink from me / Then we’ll shoot across the sky,” “Symphony,” and “So high, so high.” “Hymn for the Weekend” is about, as Martin puts it, “the idea of having an angelic person in your life.” While the parts are somewhat indistinct, Beyonce does seem to be singing from the perspective of someone who is an angel in Chris Martin’s character’s life. The Meaning of “Hymn for the Weekend” by Coldplay Usually club music doesn’t have a lot of depth, but Coldplay manages to pull off depth as well as “pop hit” in “Hymn for the Weekend.” I think you’re going to like it. “Hymn for the Weekend” grew out of a desire for Coldplay to have a club song that people could dance to, and I think it’s a great. "The original kernel was that I was listening to Flo Rida or something, and I thought, it's such a shame that Coldplay could never have one of those late-night club songs, like 'Turn Down for What.'" The song's about as pop music-ish as Coldplay can get I think, and Chris Martin the lead singer, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, backs me up on that: The song is slow, yet strong, and it features Beyonce's beautiful voice. "Hymn for the Weekend" has got to be one of my favorite songs from A Head Full of Dreams by Coldplay. You'll be supporting the fight for meaning!
