I've Seen Enough
Echoes of Fading Summer: Cold War Kids' Reflection on Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Anticipation of the emotions associated with the end of summer.
Out of money, out of friends
Experiencing financial hardship and a lack of companionship.
I've seen enough of nothing new
Expressing a sense of dissatisfaction and weariness with familiar experiences.
The blackest stain on history or last laugh blues
Referring to a negative aspect of history or a feeling of pessimism.
Not gonna fight, not gonna cry
Choosing not to engage in conflict or display sadness.
Not gonna shop around for one flag to fly
Rejecting the idea of blindly adhering to a single ideology or cause.
I've seen enough, inventors age
Observing the aging process of inventors and possibly feeling a sense of futility.
I've covered up my face, browbeaten shame
Concealing one's identity due to a sense of embarrassment or guilt.
I've got the itch, I feel the sting
Experiencing a desire or compulsion, possibly with a painful consequence.
Like falling in to the deepest sleep, telephone rings
Comparing a situation to falling into a deep sleep, interrupted by an unexpected event (telephone rings).
How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Repetition of the anticipation of emotions as summer comes to an end.
Out of money, out of friends
Reiteration of financial struggles and a lack of companionship.
How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Continuation of the theme of anticipating the emotional impact of the end of summer.
Out of money, out of friends
Restatement of being out of money and friends.
I've seen enough, the angry mob
Encountering an angry mob, possibly symbolizing societal unrest.
Yeah they were unison da-da-da
Describing the unity of the angry mob through vocalizations (da-da-da).
They can't be stopped
Asserting the unstoppable nature of the angry mob.
Sitting at home, making plans
Reflecting on making plans while staying at home.
Don't wanna be another silly set of accident hands
Expressing a desire to avoid being involved in accidents or mishaps.
How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Repetition of the anticipation of emotions associated with the end of summer.
Out of money, out of friends
Reiteration of financial struggles and a lack of companionship.
How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Continuation of the theme of anticipating the emotional impact of the end of summer.
Out of money, out of friends
Restatement of being out of money and friends.
