Genius Annotation

The opening track on The Weeknd’s Thursday introduces the two main characters of the story: The Weeknd and the “Thursday Girl,” or Abel’s “Lonely Star.”

The “Lonely Star” is a girl Abel only sees on Thursday. While she’ll be his “star” he describes in verse one that pain and regret are “Thursday girl’s,” best friends he goes on to describe that although they are her best friends he could be her best friend. Even though she can be his star, she will still be lonely, because even though Abel is with her physically, he won’t be there to actually love her.

In the hook he explains that life could be luxurious and special if she is with Abel. Although in the the Interlude “Thursday girl,” describes that if all Abel can promise her is no regret then she will continue to only be present on Thursday and that is the only time she will be available to Abel.
