Summer
Summer's Melancholy Echo: Navigating Loss and Longing
Lyrics
It's summer, I wanna put my jumper on
Expressing a desire for comfort and warmth in summer by wanting to wear a jumper.
It's such a bummer I held out for you for so long
Feeling disappointed after waiting a long time for someone who didn't meet expectations.
There goes another day spent on my own
Reflecting on another day spent in solitude.
Now I'm alone, now I'm alone, now I'm alone
Reiterating the sense of loneliness.
Now I'm alone, now I'm alone, now I'm alone
-Now I'm crying on my dad's chest I
Seeking comfort from a parent after being hurt by a friend, expressing feelings of abandonment.
Wish you'd never done what you did
-You shoulda heard what he said
-Felt abandoned by my friend
-You talk, I scream
Describing emotional turmoil, with dreams causing distress and a longing for a past connection.
My pillow knows what I see
-At night, when I'm sleeping
-I lurch awake think I feel your breathing
-I scream
-My pillow knows what I see
-At night, when I'm sleeping
-I still jerk awake think I feel your breathing
-On me, on me, on me
Repetition emphasizing a feeling of being overwhelmed or burdened.
On me, on me, on me
-On me, on me, on me
-On me, on me, on me
-On me, on me, on me
-On me, on me, on me
-My brother just got on a plane
Mourning the departure of a sibling, struggling to cope with the change.
I trick myself and I say it's just a holiday
-Since he left, I haven't said his name
-Cause it's not the same, it causes pain, he just went away
-My first friend's on that plane, he's on that plane, he's on that plane
-And I feel like a kid again
Feeling childlike in missing a friend, using imagination to cope with the absence.
Crying cause I miss my friend
-So I'll sit and play pretend
-He's just down the road around the bend
-You talk, I scream
Continuation of emotional struggle during sleep, haunted by memories and sensations of the absent friend.
My pillow knows what I see
-At night, when I'm sleeping
-I lurch awake think I feel your breathing
-I scream
-My pillow knows what I see
-At night, when I'm sleeping
-I still jerk awake think I feel your breathing
-Mm mm, mm mm, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Expressing a strong emotion, possibly frustration or a desire for someone to leave.
Get out, get out
-Get out, get out
-Get out
-Get out, get out
-Get out, get out
-Get out
-Get out, get out
-Get out, get out
-Get out
-You talk, I scream
Repeating the theme of distress during sleep, suggesting ongoing difficulty in dealing with emotions.
My pillow knows what I see
-At night, when I'm sleeping
-I lurch awake think I feel your breathing
-I scream
-My pillow knows what I see
-At night, when I'm sleeping
-I still lurch awake think I feel your breathing
-Mm mm, mm mm
Humming sounds indicating a contemplative or pensive mood.
