Lyrics
I can see the oasis, up over the hill, just a little bit longer, and I can be still.
Anticipation of reaching a positive point or goal (oasis) and the desire for tranquility.
Won't you come be there with me, and bathe in the light
Inviting someone to share in the positive experience and metaphorically immerse in brightness.
I know that you'll always, show me a good time
Expressing trust in the companion to consistently provide enjoyable moments.
I want to get away for a while, dip my toes in the blue of the shallow water
Desire for a break, seeking relaxation represented by dipping toes in shallow water.
My temporary summer
Refers to a brief, enjoyable period - the "temporary summer" as a metaphor for happiness.
You're taking me, out of my head and underneath the ocean
Moving away from stress and overthinking, diving into a metaphorical ocean for relief.
Where I'll breathe, even if I'm choking
Emphasizes the ability to endure challenges and find peace even in difficult situations.
Yeah, shining like a diamond.
Comparing someone or something to the brilliance and resilience of a diamond.
Where I'm saved, fucked up on an island
Feeling secure and content in a place that might be considered problematic by others.
My temporary summer
Reiteration of the transient nature of the positive experience, the "temporary summer."
Take me there and I'll wake up when I'm sober
Willingness to embrace the positive experience even when the influence of it diminishes.
The winter is rough, alone with myself
Reflecting on the difficulties of the winter season, emphasizing personal struggles.
I can hear my own heartbeat, and thoughts loud like hell
Intensifying the emotional state during difficult times, with a focus on self-awareness.
I can't wait to go back there, and escape the cold
Expressing eagerness to return to the positive experience and escape the challenges.
I just want to be happy, is that too much to ask of you
Desire for happiness, posing a rhetorical question about the possibility of achieving it.
Temporary summer
Reiteration of the theme of a temporary, joyful period, the "temporary summer."
Yeah I'm never coming home
Expressing a reluctance to leave the positive experience, suggesting attachment.
Only love I've ever known
Declaring that the described positive experience is the only love or happiness known.
