Lyrics
It's so hot the air has second thoughts
High temperature makes the atmosphere uncertain or hesitant.
Won't last a winter's memory
The heat won't endure, just like a winter's memory doesn't last.
The smell of gas and fresh cut grass
A mix of industrial and natural scents – gas and freshly cut grass.
Won't last beyond us at all
These scents won't persist beyond our existence.
It took 'til death to tell your story
Only in death, the complete story of a person is revealed.
Nothing was wasted on us all
Nothing in life was wasted; every experience was valuable.
If sunlight were our best disinfectant
If sunlight symbolizes clarity, it can't eliminate all our imperfections.
And our years will burn with night's fall
Our years will be marked by challenges and difficulties.
A Civil War veteran picks a lily
A symbolic scene of a war veteran finding beauty in nature.
Then listens to Pablo Casals
The veteran appreciates art and music, represented by Pablo Casals.
A final note that rings forever
A lasting musical note signifies the eternal nature of life.
Life will be the death of us all
In the end, life itself will be the cause of our demise.
Maybe I'll break into the movies
Contemplating a transition into the glamorous world of movies.
Become a star upon the screen
An aspiration to become a star on the silver screen.
And blow
A moment of uncertainty or a pause, represented by "blow."
A kiss to
Expressing affection or farewell with a symbolic kiss.
A song
The act of kissing is associated with a song or melody.
