Summertime Sadness
Embracing Summertime Bliss: A Dance in the Moonlight
Lyrics
I got my new dress on tonight
Expressing excitement and readiness for a special occasion, wearing a new dress.
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Dancing in darkness under the moonlight, creating a romantic atmosphere.
Done my hair up really big, beauty queen style
Styling hair in a glamorous, beauty queen fashion, emphasizing preparation.
New shoes on, I'm feeling alive
Feeling vibrant and energetic with the addition of new shoes.
Oh, my gosh, I feel it in the air
Sensing a positive atmosphere, heightened by the imagery of sizzling telephone wires.
Telephone wires above, are sizzling like a snare
Metaphorically describing the energetic and electrifying environment.
Honey, I'm on fire, I see it everywhere
Feeling intense passion and confidence, seeing positivity everywhere.
Nothing scares me anymore
Expressing fearlessness and a carefree attitude.
Listen hard before you go, summertime sadness
Advising someone to pay close attention before leaving, hinting at summertime sadness.
I just wanted you to know that, baby, you're the best
Acknowledging someone as the best before potential sadness sets in.
I've got that summertime, summertime sadness

Cruising down the coast, going out on a drive
Driving along the coast, enjoying a pleasant experience.
Gotta good feeling by my heavenly side
Feeling optimistic and positive, accompanied by a heavenly presence.
I know if I go, I'll be happy tonight
