Haven't felt right since the first day of spring
But now you've entered my life and fixed everything
The days drag on and the nights go fast
But when you're near, summer is past
I can't wait until the frost finally comes
And all this heat has finally gone

Watching the sweater come out this time
That we have only a few months is a crime
One day let's set up a home
Where it's winter all year long
Boots, hats and winter mitts
Summer nights I will not miss

Like when the clouds chase away
The hot sun on a muggy day
Like when the bright orange leaf
Plunges off the half naked tree
Like when the air we breathe
Snaps with that frosty electricity
One year until it begins again?
Why can't fall never end

I hate summer

    "The DSM-IV notes SADs as “specifiers”, seasonal patterns that can occur within major depressive or bipolar disorders. Sufferers of summer SAD may experience some or all of the following symptoms during the spring and summer months:

    Depression, feelings of hopelessness Loss of interest and/or enjoyment in activities Anxiety Insomnia Feelings of irritability Feelings of agitation Poor appetite Weight loss Increased sex drive Suicidal thoughts and feelings"

    Not everyone loves the summer. Me, I have a hard time trying to adjust, to me summer is usually 50% anxiety, 50% exhilaration. But, overall, I'm rather scared than bored. Bring summer on!

    Totally awesome song though.

    Song Meaning

    On 7/27/11, the singer said that this song was dedicated to anyone who was overweight or ashamed of their bodies. This song could have something to do with the way a person can feel about wearing revealing clothing in the summertime, going to the beach, pool, etc, when his/her body is less-than-perfect. It's easier to avoid those issues in the winter, when you can hide behind as many layers as you want.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Silent Planet
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
