Lords of Summer Lyrics

The Chorus seems to be a metaphor for life. Winter is bitter and hurtful.

At last the thawing has begun. (meaning the pain is slowly subsiding) Come trade your darkness for the sun. (meaning acknowledge that your suffering has ended and its time to focus your energy on the positive experiences that await you (the sun)) Melting the chill of winters turn, So celebrate and let you're fires burn. (meaning since your troubles are being removed you can now open up and embrace the enjoyment in life) The Lords of Summer have returned. (pleasurable experiences of life are back in youre life)
