Summerbreeze Lyrics
go through the books just dream
I went to school with an offer for my teacher
he thought, please don´t look down on me
But I will, oh oh oh oh
in your home so why should you care about mine
I´ve had enough of this comfort conversation
in my mind you´re all retards anyhow
like a warm summerbreeze
you got your head among the clouds
and you will never be free
you´ll spend
many nights alone
I know
cause, I´ll never know how you feel
but if you do then sure I´d be flattered
in my mind it´s all different anyhow
like a warm summerbreeze
I got my head among the clouds
and I will never be free
I´ll spend
many nights alone
I know
I know
Cause I have and I will.
I think the narrator of this song used to be bullied. "Once a failure, always a retard": he once did something wrong and ever since he's been called a retard by classmates. The offer to his teacher would be a question to stop the bullying, but the teacher felt powerless, hence the "don't look down on me". He's disliked others ever since ("you're all retards anyhow").
He's basically acting high and mighty in the first half. He feels he's superior over others, giving out unsolicited advice and basically predicting others' lives (the whole chorus, basically). After the first chorus he starts changing. "If you don't feel the way I do, it don't matter" seems antisocial, but the third line in that verse, "I'd be flattered", seems to bring a change in attitude. And by the last verse he realizes he's not better and that he's fallen in the trap he told others not to fall in.
@TheDistracted I think your interpretation works great for the first verse but i dont think it applies as well to the rest of the song

Actually thinking about it, your interpretation works for most of the song. The thought in the chorus that love has to be hard earned and never comes easy, the anti-social tone in the second verse, the general confusion relating to human relationships in the last verse...

Possibly this is about someone who was bad in school and offered something to the teacher to get a better grade, probably something sexual. The teacher accepted the offer but feels ashamed by himself. Thats why he says "please don't look down on me". Second verse is about the student wanting to get it over with: "i've had enough of this comfort conversation" As a result of this experience the student has problems in her/his romantic and sexual development. That's what the chorus is about. The last verse is about the student catching feelings for the teacher in question or possibly about his/her general confusion in romantic matters.
