Viper Summer
Viper Summer: Navigating Solitude Through Hollow Tones and Roman Roads
Lyrics
When your friends descend, you must let them
When your friends arrive, you should allow them in.
When the party ends it's a blessing
When the gathering or event concludes, it's a positive thing.
Kill the lights, clear the floor, pay the drummer
Turn off the lights, clear the space, and compensate the drummer.
Hollow tones, Roman roads, viper summer
Empty or eerie sounds, ancient roads, a summer marked by danger or deceit.
And the nymphs never showed when we needed them to know
The nymphs (symbolic of beauty or inspiration) didn't appear when needed, suggesting disappointment or disillusionment.
That the fever and the magic might be worth it
Suggesting that the excitement and enchantment might justify the difficulties.
Look back, look now, start revealing
Reflect on the past and present, start to disclose or make evident.
No one said that this dread would be healing
No one mentioned that this feeling of anxiety or fear would be curative.
But we both know
Both individuals understand
You'll be doing this alone
You will tackle this situation independently.
But we both know
Both individuals understand
You'll be doing this alone
You will handle this situation independently.
By the time that you find what you're after
When you achieve your goals, you may perceive everything as a catastrophe.
You'll declare everywhere a disaster
The present difficulties will intensify.
What feels hard right now will get harder
The weapon or defense you've created won't be more effective.
But the blade that you made won't be sharper
If your ears hear the hymns that I'm trying to keep in
If you can perceive the melodies or ideas I'm trying to hide
Then you know where I go when I'm dreaming
Then you know my state of mind or where I mentally retreat to when dreaming.
When the end creeps in, it's a bummer
When the conclusion or demise gradually approaches, it's disappointing.
Hollow tones, Roman roads, viper summer
Empty or eerie sounds, ancient roads, a summer marked by danger or deceit.
But we both know
Both individuals understand
You'll be doing this alone
You will handle this situation independently.
But we both know
Both individuals understand
You'll be doing this alone
You will handle this situation independently.
