Jewel Of The Summertime Lyrics

When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high
?, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright
They tried to hide me (?), uh-huh
Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
That reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight
I met a man with dark silhouette's stumbling in the night
But we collided, uh-huh
In a ?, uh-huh
Got alot on me, uh-huh
Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time

I left that behind me, uh-huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

Definitely relates to youth, and the innocence that gets lost. Reminds me of Dandelion too.

Chris seems to be getting rather nostalgic on us.

I think this is about someone who's life is heading downward with the passing of time, but is constantly being reminded of the good times before things were stressful and dark - a better period of time where there was less worries and problems in the world.

Nice. First comment...

This is a very good song, and it is like an odd blend of "Show Me How to Live" and, well, "Dandelion".

It is EXTREMELY catchy, and it pisses me off too, as I can't get that damn chorus out of my head. :)

Honestly, I have no clue what it's about, so I'll take the easy way out and say it's about drugs!

I know that there was a time when Chris was a teenager when he didn't leave the house for, like, a year (which "Doesn't Remind Me" supposedly relates to). I wonder if there's any connection here.

This cd is off the heazy. I think the solo kicks ass, man. \m/ Overall good song, though.. I'll have to get back to ya on the meaning.

This song is also a bit remeniscient of Rage Against the Machine. And like I said, great cd. :)

Getting out of a depressed time, probably related to the time where Chris didn't leave his house for a year. These lyrics make sense to me with that interpretation:

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight I met a man with dark silhouette's stumbling in the night But we collided, uh-huh In a ?, uh-huh Got alot on me, uh-huh Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays

I could be wrong but it seems to be about somebody who turned someone elses life around.

It's a funk tune and I love it. It's... nasty and funky :)).
