The Red Summer Sun Lyrics
And it's coming down and we're pumping over ground
In desert air
I hope you'll be there
'Cause it's coming down
Pumping over ground
I've seen carwreck kids walk away from it
I laughed from within
I know these days will end
It's been a long time, been a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won't be the martyr
So let me go, let me go
On my own
I said it's been a long time, been a long time
To walk with the mighty
To walk with the mighty
So let me go, let me go
On my own
I'll make do with none
I will blame no one
Slept on packing foam
I'll make it all my home
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on, I'll take on anyone, I'll
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on, I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone, I'll
It's been a long time, been a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won't be the martyr
So let me go, let me go
It's a long time, go
It's been a long time, been a long time
To walk with the mighty
I'm gonna walk with the mighty
Let me go, let me go
On my own
I'll take on anyone
I'll take on, I'll take on anyone
I'll take on, I'll take on anyone
I'll take on anyone, I'll
These days, they're not done
The red summer sun

"The Red Summer Sun, that's the name of this song, and that's the name of this tour. Somehow, it fits. The idea that these days that we're in right now, this time, the summertime of your life, it will not last my friends... but you know what? These days that we're in right now.. they're not over yet... no, no, no, no, no..." - Stephan Jenkins

the song's just about time that won't last forever. it's saying don't be uptight, just let go and enjoy the time you've got. the sun eventually sets, and so will your time.

It's weird, this song almost seems like a transition from life to afterlife to me. Just the whole imagery of The Red Summer Sun seems kinda fitting for Stephan Jenkins to be talking about. If not that....if definately seems like a "taking it all in" kind of song.

the "I said it's been a long time, been a long time To walk with the mighty To walk with the mighty So let me go, let me go On my own" reminds me of some 80's rock or somethin haha
haha i totally agree with this.. it kind of scared me and it doesn't even sound like him.

These days won't last, but they're amazing while they do. I don't think you even need to listen to the lyrics to 'get' this song, the music says it all, it hits you right in the stomach. The version with the extended outro is better than sex.

a great song to get the adrenaline up; i think it's about taking chances and screwing the horrible possibilities.
doing whatever it takes to get yourself where you wanna go, because time doesn't wait for anyone

this song sounds a lot like foo fighters to me

this song encompasses everything i love about 3eb: the fast ROCKNROLL excitement, the haunting "doo loo loo loo loo loo loo loo loo" that only stephen jenkins seems to have a feel for, and the ending that takes it down to the poignancy of the moment. going to their nov. 30th concert this year, they opened with this song. i didn't know it but it stood out to me enough to look for it when i got home.
