Cover art for Black Summer lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Black Summer is pretty much a "state of things" song: it\'s about climate change, about the California fires (I like a lot the line \'the night is dressed like noon\'), about media, about COVID & about the state of the world. But most importantly, as the chorus states, Black Summer is not optimistic, and it\'s about this never-ending chaos that the world is in, with one thing happening after another, and one not capable of withstanding these times.

My Interpretation

@EternalTearsOfSorrow I totally agree. One can also interpret this as a state of depression (Black Summer) that the narrator is also in, in which there is no end in sight. I believe this state of depression is cause by everything you said. Thanks for sharing.
