Parka Summer
Embracing Seasons: A Journey of Transformation in Taylor Giddens' 'Parka Summer'
Lyrics
Days fly it's a numb feeling
Expressing the fleeting nature of time, accompanied by a sense of emotional detachment.
Wondering what's keeping me going
Reflecting on the motivations that drive and sustain the speaker.
Out of touch my oil lamp not burning
Feeling disconnected, likening it to an unlit oil lamp symbolizing a lack of inspiration or energy.
Lukewarm never felt so freezing
Describing a paradoxical sensation of feeling lukewarm yet experiencing an intense cold.
So put your parka let the heat set in
Encouraging the listener to wear a parka, metaphorically inviting warmth and positivity into their life.
This is the summer when the sun doesn't touch your skin
Describing a unique summer experience where the sun doesn't touch the skin, suggesting a metaphorical season of introspection.
Now I'm who I want to be like it should've been
Asserting the speaker's current identity aligns with their desired self, implying personal growth.
When it was you and me in the garden
Recalling a past moment in a garden with another person, possibly indicating a lost connection or nostalgia.
Even when it's summer I'll pretend it snows
Choosing to imagine snow in summer, possibly symbolizing a deliberate shift in perspective or a refusal to conform to expectations.
Even when it rains I'll give you my coat
Expressing a willingness to share and protect, even in challenging situations like rain.
I'm changing what I wear in every season
Embracing change by adapting clothing choices with the seasons, reflecting a broader theme of personal transformation.
You call me to an inside out way of living
Acknowledging a transformative influence, possibly from a relationship, leading to an altered way of living.
I wanna tell the world about this feeling
Desiring to share a positive emotion with the world.
Even though it's not a breeze your love is so freeing
Recognizing the liberating nature of love, even in challenging circumstances.
Just like the wind you tell me where to go
Drawing a parallel between love and the wind, indicating guidance and direction.
I'll trust you 'cause I can't do it on my own
Expressing trust and reliance on a significant other, acknowledging a need for support.
So put your parka let the heat set in
Reiterating the call to embrace warmth and positivity symbolized by wearing a parka.
This is the summer when the sun doesn't touch your skin
Reinforcing the idea of a unique summer experience, disconnected from conventional expectations.
Now I'm who I want to be like it should've been
Affirming the alignment of the current self with the desired self, referencing a past ideal state.
When it was you and me in the garden
Recalling a shared past experience in a garden, emphasizing the significance of the connection.
Even when it's summer I'll pretend it snows
Persisting in imagining snow in summer, indicating a deliberate choice to defy norms or expectations.
Even when it rains I'll give you my coat

I'm changing what I wear in every season
