Lyrics
West coast summer day
Reflecting on a summer day on the West Coast.
Hear the swell of the ocean say my name
Feeling a connection with the ocean, as if it's calling the speaker's name.
Sounds great
Expressing approval or agreement.
It's getting late
Indicating that time is passing and the day is progressing.
West coast summer day
Repetition of the initial reflection on a West Coast summer day.
Hear the swell of the ocean say my name
Reiteration of the connection with the ocean, emphasizing the personal touch.
Sounds great
Reaffirming approval or agreement.
Time to get away
Signaling the decision to escape or take a break.
Gotta run
Expressing urgency to leave or move quickly.
Cuz I've got blood on my hands
Confession of having committed a violent act with blood on hands.
I can't tell if it's mine, theirs or even tangible
Uncertainty about the origin of the blood, pondering if it's the speaker's own, others', or symbolic.
I'm all about the sunshine in my eyes
Preference for enjoying sunshine despite the troubling situation.
But Mary's smoking, haunting me in my rear view
Mention of someone named Mary, possibly associated with smoking and haunting thoughts in the rearview.
I'm all about the moonlight on my head
Expressing a fondness for moonlight on the head.
With Mary tucked in tightly between my fingers
Imagery of holding Mary closely between the fingers, suggesting a personal connection.
I'm all about the
Line break, leaving the meaning open-ended or for interpretation.
West coast summer day
Reiteration of the initial reflection on a West Coast summer day.
Hear the swell of the ocean say my name
Reaffirming the connection with the ocean, repeating the feeling of being called by name.
Sounds great
Reiterating approval or agreement with the situation.
Now it's far too late
Acknowledging that it's now too late for something, possibly a regret or consequence.
