Rebecca Black's Friday as Doomsday Prophecy

"To start, analyze the name of the singer, "Rebecca Black".
 
"Rebecca" comes from the Hebrew "Ribkah", meaning to bind something, or trap something.
 
"Black" comes from the old Norse "Blakr", meaning "Darkness."
 
So, her name roughly means "bound darkness" or "entrapped darkness".
 
This is a reference to Fenrir, the the world ending wolf that was bound by the gods in Norse mythology, but will break free in the time of the world's end.
 
Also, her middle name is "Renee", which literally means "Rebirth"
 
Moving onto the song, and the music video as well, it starts by her chanting "Yeah-yeah-yeah" while an image of a clock progressing comes into view.
 
While you could be forgiven for thinking this was just random shit posting by the lyric writer, it was not. The sound is meant to replicate the word "Yera", which means "Year", and the rune for which represents cycles and the passing of time. This is a reference to the Norse concept of cyclical destruction and rebirth. One world ends, and in its end, the next is birthed into a new life.
 
The song continues;
 
"Seven AM, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seeing everything, the time is going
Ticking on and on, everybody's rushing
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends"
 
This portion represents the continual struggle of man against the futility of its existence, engaging in the same thing day after day, repeating the same actions to no change and to no remaining effect. The "week" here represents the process through one of these cycles, between the birth and destruction, where in people simply go through motions waiting for their destruction.
 
"Kicking in the front seat
Sitting in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?"
 
This portion demonstrates the futility of our decisions, mocking our indecisiveness for placing determinant value on life decisions that will ultimately have all impact wiped away when this world is destroyed and reborn.
 
"It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Getting down on Friday
Everybody's looking forward to the weekend."
 
Here, "Friday" represents the final hours before the world's end, the only time where the people of that cycle can truly understand the nature of their reality, and the only time where they can truly appreciate their destruction. It's an acceptance of the end, and a celebration of what's to come. (I.E. the next "week")
 
"Partying, partying, Yeah!
Partying, partying, Yeah!
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Looking forward to the weekend."
 
These lines represent an acknowledgement and celebtration of the Yera, the cycle.
 
They celebrate the passing of one week onto another, and accept the "weekend" as a necessary completion of their futility, not to be feared, but to be appreciated as the final chapter of this story, giving the only true meaning to it that it ever had.
 
"Seven fourty-five, we're driving on the highway
Cruising so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this,you got this.
My friend is by my right, ay
I got this,you got this.
Now you know it"
 
Here, the lyrics represent a rush towards the end, to confront it head on.
 
In the video, the singer has two friends, one to each side. However, the lyrics only note the one to her right.
 
This is a reference to the story of Odin's charge against death in the end times. Odin famously sacrificed his right eye, and is therefore blind on his right, which is why the lyrics, which are depicting a readiness in an onward charge, only require an ally to guard the right flank. The "right hand man" archetype is a guard against the blindspot.
