i love the opening lyric, "break it down and then break it up again," seems to fit with the whole Yuck sound: rehashing the past (Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Teenage Fanclub, Sonic Youth), but putting their own stamp on it. It's like the first lyric you hear of theirs colours their whole project.
And I think the "summer sun" might be referencing that infamous Pavement line from "Gold Soundz:" "so drunk in the August sun," plus it's arguably Pavement's best song.
@jfrancis I agree with @narut03...definitely sounds about addiction (And probably to opiates, due to the mentioning of no pain). I don't know the whole story of why the original vocalist left the band, about to check into that, but hey, drug problems would make sense.

I actually think this song is about an addiction of some sort, possibly heroin.

If we're talking Summer Sun and the 90s lo-fi scene I think Yo La Tengo deserves a mention.
