She Don't Even Know
Searching for Self in Summer's Burn
Lyrics
She told me she’s been feeling down a lot these days
She confided in me about feeling consistently low recently.
And summer’s supposed to be for living without a care
Despite the expectation of carefree living during summer, she's burdened with troubles.
But she’s carrying a lot now
She's carrying a heavy emotional load.
Mm mm
A sound often used to convey thoughtfulness or contemplation.
And she thinks that her karma got switched around
She feels like her fate or destiny has been interchanged or altered unfavorably.
Like maybe she got his instead of hers
She imagines receiving someone else's difficulties or hardships.
‘Cause every other day she’s getting burned
She experiences frequent setbacks or disappointments.
In the summer
This distress occurs specifically during the summer.
Ooo oo I know it when she calls
The speaker recognizes her distress when she contacts or communicates.
Ooo oo like reading sharpie on a bathroom wall
Her emotional state is as evident as graffiti writing on a restroom wall.
Wide awake and sleep walking
She is fully awake but seems to be going through life's motions mechanically.
Going through all the motions
Engaging in actions without emotional involvement or awareness.
But she don’t even know who she is anymore
She has lost a sense of her identity or true self.
She don’t even know who she is
Reiteration of her confusion and detachment from self-identity.
He told me he feels overwhelmed a lot on most days
He disclosed feeling consistently overwhelmed on most days.
And Friday’s supposed to be the day that it gets better
Despite expectations, Fridays, symbolic of relief, bring disappointment as the environment remains desolate.
But the boulevard is empty
The street or path he navigates is disappointingly empty.
It’s a bummer
Expresses dissatisfaction or disappointment with his situation.
And his life is parallel to some movie he watched in August
His life parallels a movie he watched but can't recall the title immediately.
He forgot the name but he’ll remember if he sleeps on it
He believes he'll remember the movie if he sleeps on it, indicating an expectation of clarity or understanding through time.
‘Cause the good comes back around
Hopeful anticipation of better times returning.
He’s waiting for that now
Waiting for positive changes or events to happen.
Wide awake and sleep walking
Similar to her, he is wide awake but emotionally detached.
Going through all the motions
He is moving through life's actions mechanically, lacking emotional involvement or awareness.
But she don’t even know who she is anymore
Reiteration of the loss of self-identity, shared between both individuals.
She don’t even know who she is
Reinforces the previous line, emphasizing the detachment from self-awareness or identity.
Time will creep up and speak softly
Time will gradually reveal truths or solutions gently.
Another day ‘nother blue morning
Continuation of repetitive difficult days, signifying a pattern of hardship.
But she don’t even know who she is anymore
Repeated sentiment of losing personal identity and self-awareness.
She don’t even know who she is
Reiteration of the struggle with self-identity and awareness.
