Deadbeat Summer Lyrics

going blind from the heat
in the middle of a sunlit street
seeing thoughts on repeat
but I'd rather get something to eat
feeling senseless and beat
and I wonder at the chance that we'll meet

deadbeat summer
it's just a deadbeat summer

you're the one that I miss
from last summer when I'd stolen a kiss
hear the endless hiss
as it rolls into the starlit abyss
all my dreams reminisce
never thought this time it'd be like this

deadbeat summer
it's just a deadbeat summer

he misses his gal

He wants to get together to a specific girl, but they don't seem to meet each other. He flirts and hangs out with other girls, but it's just a deadbeat summer, because his dreams are not coming true

YES!!!

I think this lyrics work best:

come and run from the heat in the middle of a sunlit street seeing thoughts in repeat but i'd rather get something to eat feeling senseless and beat and i wonder if through chance we will meet (i'm not sure about this so i'll just take your word for it)

deadbeat summer it's just a deadbeat summer

In addition to what's already been said, the lyrics "seeing thoughts on repeat, but I'd rather get something to eat" seem to portray being high on marijuana, anyone else agree?

My Interpretation

I agree. The whole song gives me a marijuana-vibe, the deadbeat summer that is spoken of is likely a summer spent in a cannabis cloud.

Perhaps the world is selfish, because if other girls let themselves be charmed, then they do not care about him, but about themselves. They should care to be straight and to help him find his way out, and be happy with his sweet wife, that is what true happiness is. Escaping and searching for someone else is not the way. She cares and would not do anything like that. Besides, why would she let temptations when she knows what brings peace? She cares about him more than he knows or thinks. Yes, he is beautiful and charming, and yes, I can see how easy it would be, but no, it is not right. What matters is what is right, what builds someone's character, peace and happiness. The pain will not go if she went with him. The pain is deeper and can only be healed in other ways. She would be a true friend, even hug him, but she would keep the friendship pure. She respects how he feels about the way he wants to live his life and would never judge him, because she adores him as he is. She wishes that he could accept the friendship and accept her with what she believes, even if what she believes seems so strange to him :) and she will not talk about what she believes if he does not want to hear it. I can respect that :0) Batty :)

My Interpretation

it doesnt matter what is right and what is wrong or what builds character. all that matters are the emotions.
