Cover art for Sunset in July lyrics by 311

I think it's about the world ending. Or at least the music video says it is. "Sunset in july/time to say goodbye to the sun"-the sun is leaving, dying. We connect earth with the sun when the suns gone we will be too shortly after. "time is flying by"- The mayan calender ran out of days, those 13000 years just flew by. "if you beleive that"- many question if the world ending theories (which we all know are wrong after today) "space and time..."-Many of the theories have to do with space and time. "I'm forever in existence, I'm forever ok"-he realizes it's just a joke and he knows there's no need to worry, he's ok The third verse is saying that it could very well be true and if so its coming quickly so he should spend the time well. I don't feel like interpreting it anymore, but you can if you want to.
