The Coast of Indiana
Summer's Spell: Lost Love on the Coast of Indiana
Lyrics
Oh I was walkin
Expressing the act of walking.
Walkin through the town in the summer
Describing a walk through the town during the summer.
Couldn't think of nothing else but her
Focused on thoughts of a person (possibly a romantic interest).
And the way we'd chase the days
Reflecting on shared experiences and time together.
Keep the covers un-arranged
Emphasizing a relaxed and casual lifestyle.
Feel the ways of island haze
Feeling the effects of a carefree environment.
Yet I fear that she don't even know my name
Expressing concern that the person may not know the speaker's name.
But is it any wonder
Pondering the reasons behind emotions.
My heart goes crazy in the summer
Noting intense emotions experienced during the summer.
My thoughts go crashing like the waves
Comparing turbulent thoughts to crashing waves.
And I lose my sense of place
Feeling disoriented and losing a sense of place.
Then I take a night to forget my name
Choosing to forget one's identity for a night.
The worst part of waking up from a dream
Highlighting challenges of waking up from a dream.
Is the part when you ponder make believe
Acknowledging the difficulty in distinguishing reality from imagination.
When you question what is real
Questioning the nature of reality.
When you question how you feel
Reflecting on emotional confusion.
When you look up and out the window
Observing the morning sun and contemplating existence.
And you feel that morning sun glow
Experiencing the beauty of the morning.
Do you question what is real?
Repeating the theme of questioning reality.
Do you you question how you feel?
Reiterating the confusion about emotions.
Off the coast of Indiana
Referring to a location, possibly metaphorical.
We found an island called Atlanta
Mentioning the discovery of an island named Atlanta.
And then we drove to east Montana
Describing a journey to East Montana.
To lose our minds among the trees
Expressing a desire to lose oneself in nature.
Yet I fear that she don't even know my name
Repeating the fear that the person may not know the speaker's name.
But is it any wonder
Reiterating intense emotions during the summer.
My heart goes crazy in the summer
Emphasizing turbulent thoughts akin to crashing waves.
My thoughts go crashing like the waves
Experiencing a loss of orientation.
And I lose my sense of place
Taking a night to forget identities with others.
Then we take the night to forget our names
Repeating the theme of forgetting one's name.
The worst part of waking up from a dream
Reiterating challenges of waking up from a dream.
Is the part when you ponder make believe
Revisiting the difficulty of distinguishing reality from imagination.
When you question what is real
Continuing to question the nature of reality.
When you question how you feel
Reflecting on ongoing emotional confusion.
When you look up and out the window
Observing the morning sun and contemplating existence.
And you feel that morning sun glow
Re-experiencing the beauty of the morning.
Do you question what is real?
Repeating the theme of questioning reality.
Do you you question how you feel?
Reiterating the confusion about emotions.
Oh oh yeah oh
Expressing emotions through vocalizations.
I've tried
Acknowledging personal effort.
My very best
Expressing uncertainty and difficulty in making decisions.
And I can't decide
Struggling with indecision about the next steps in life.
Where I should go next
Feeling mentally trapped.
I'm locked inside my head
Noticing internal struggles affecting the person.
Can't you see it's tearing me apart?
Expressing emotional pain and internal conflict.
Apart
Highlighting a sense of being torn apart.
