Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Grab your stuff and lets all go outside
Bang your head to this tune in your ride
Leavin' all you cares right behind
For the summertime
Everybody starts to feel the vibe
Drinks are in cooler chilled on ice
Lay back and unwind cuz
Nothing else matters
For the summertime
I've been working real hard
For just one reason
I've been waiting all year
For just one season
The season that reminds me of palm trees
The smell,the ocean breeze
And the sense or bein' free
Barbecues and pool parties
What I call fun
Hangin with the honeys
And enjoyin the sun
24 hours just to clean the Benz
So you can cruise donw the
boulevard with your friends
Sights on the beach have got your mind blowin
Drinks on the chill
The money is flowin'
Right here is where you belong
So if your down with me
Get up and come along
So grab your stuff and lets all go outside
Bang your head to this tune in your ride
Leavin' all your cares right behind
For the summertime
Everybody starts to feel the vibe
Drinks are in the cooler chilled on ice
Lay back and unwind cuz
Nothing else matters
For the summertime
Had to take a sip of Ma's Homemade
Freshly squeezed lemonade
Check out the honeys in my brand new shades
As they lay on the sand
Toppin' up on the tans
Take in the scenery
The mood is fine
Nobodys wearin their watches
Nobodys checkin the time
There is only one thing that's on everybody's mine
Thats the summer the summer
the summertime
Sights on the beach have got
your mind blowin
Drinks on the chill
The money is flowin'
Right here is where you belong
So if your down with me
Get up and come along
So grab your stuff and lets all go outside
Bang your head to this tune in your ride
Leavin' all your cares right behind
For the summertime
Everybody starts to feel the vibe
Drinks are in the cooler chilled on ice
Lay back and unwind cuz
Nothing else matters
for the summertime
Right now we're going to bring it to ya one time
??
Touring your ride
Leavin all you cares right behind
Everybody is feelin the vibe
of the summer, of the summer
Grab your bags and lets go back inside
Bang your head to this tune in your ride
But didnt we have a good time?
Destinations home,thats where we're going

Cuz when tomorrow comes

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
ahh yes all those carefree days when real people like me have to work either for real or around the house, and yea homemade lemonade, i havent had that since i was like 10
