Swing Sets
Nostalgic Reflections: Pablo Lovetrain's Journey through Summer's Maze
Lyrics
Summer's always longer than the three months we're allotted
Reflecting on the perception that summer feels longer than its designated three months.
Wasting time on people that we'll never see
Investing time in relationships with people who won't be part of one's future.
Living in our parent houses we'd forgotten
Living in parental homes, neglecting or forgetting about individual growth.
In neighborhoods that play out like a scene
Residing in neighborhoods that resemble scenes from an indie movie.
From an indie movie
Comparing experiences to those found in independent films.
Getting high and realizing what that means
Using drugs and realizing the consequences of altered states of mind.
On the swing sets that we conquered
Remembering past conquests and experiences on swing sets.
And now I sit in her apartment
Sitting in someone else's apartment, observing a new romantic relationship.
Sharing glances with the boyfriend that replaced me
Noticing exchanged glances with a former lover's new partner.
Through weed smoke and TV
Amidst the influence of marijuana and television.
Lights
Referring to city lights or significant events.
Racing down the boulevard that raised me
Speeding down the familiar boulevard that shaped one's upbringing.
Woah, I'll flip my car again
Expressing a reckless attitude, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
Shit's upside down anyway
Accepting chaos or disruption as the norm.
Summers always feel a little shorter than the last one
Noting the perception that each summer feels shorter than the previous one.
Getting into shit you wouldn't think before
Engaging in activities that were previously deemed unlikely or inappropriate.
Who'd've thought you'd be the person that you asked for
Surprising oneself by becoming the person one desired or sought.
Who'd've thought that you could ever be a bore
Realizing that one can also be dull or uninteresting.
Now we're standing on the rooftop
Standing on a rooftop, contemplating a potentially risky leap.
Thinking that the jump it doesn't seem so far
Considering a jump into the unknown, perhaps metaphorically.
So we jump into the water
Recalling carefree actions similar to those of school kids.
Cannonball like school kids
Contrasting the past with the present, where such bold actions are avoided.
But we're older now and we don't jump at all
Choosing not to take risks or make daring leaps.
And we wanna see our name in
Expressing a desire for recognition, possibly in a public setting.
