The City's Summer Lyrics

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Crawling through the dense green carpeting
Untamed and Seventies,
Tiny fingers couldn't pry
Their way through that
Thick and knotted reverie

Relapse, fall backwards and slide
Are you suggesting that I repress,
Repress and disguise

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na x2

Surge of static electricity
Brought on by the fear of being seen
Creeping up in silence on the battle scene
Slow and slithering
We stand still on fourth of july
Numb to explosions that
Scream and light, light up the sky

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na x2

There's a solution, it's been tested
My desire will never persevere
When swimming in serotonin even
The city summer smells like perfume

So rub your wrists together
Take a swig and you'll feel better
Once you close your eyes
Pretend to sleep for hours and hours
Alright

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na x2

Through the kitchen then up the column of my spine,
all of this hatred and echoing despise (x2)

Just hold on, hold on
Just hold on, hold on

this is what jarrod said about this song:

"The lyrics were a bunch of different kind of lyrics put together. I spent a lot of time on them. Especially that “na na na” part, each “na” was really… I just realized how that sounded. Lyrically, it took years to evolve that “na”. When I was coming up with the second “na”, followed by a third and fourth, I would cry. You know? Like, memories would just come back. By the fifth “na”, I was on the floor. I couldn’t deal with life. What I had become and what I had gone through. I was just like… no.. um....really that was the melody I liked. But the verses span from memories of being a child to two summers ago, on a rooftop of somebody’s building at a party on the fourth of July, and being on drugs. Because you’re not going to be on the rooftop of a building on the fourth of July without being on drugs."

i've been waiting for these lyrics to go up forever, haha.

however, i have some discrepancies. i could swear he says "repress and disguise" though i'm not sure that makes sense.

and where you have "Crawling through the dense green carpet air" i think it should be "carpeting"

that aside, i fucking love this song. sooo amazing. i don't know what it's about other than summer.

I could have sworn he said 'disguise' also, and that is what I had originally, but I did not think that 'repress in disguise' made any sense.

And as for the carpet part I just listened to a live track of this and I do hear more of an -ing sound

repress at the sky makes more sense though

well, like repress means to hold back or suppress to disguise means to conceal. they are similar and so i think "repress and disguise" makes sense

repress and disguise it is
