The lyrics to Seabear's song, "Summer Bird Diamond," are both poetic and cryptic, making it difficult to decipher their meaning. The first two lines paint a picture of a serene scene by the pond as the sun sets and a fly buzzes around. However, the next two lines seem to contradict the peaceful setting as "we painted flames in the signs." It is unclear what this signifies, but it might suggest a desire to set the world on fire, to shake things up from their tranquil state.

The next two lines of the verse provide more clarity, alluding to the hardship and monotony of daily life. "I know it's a bore, oh / To melt the ice and the snow" expresses the frustration of living through cold, dreary winters, longing for the warmth and liveliness of summer. The final line, "But we can't row, row it, row, row it," evokes a sense of resignation or helplessness, as if the speaker is stuck in their current situation and unable to change it.

Throughout the chorus, the speaker longs for summer to arrive and bring with it new life and possibilities. "We'll have to wait until summer / Comes and wakes up" implies a sense of hibernation or dormancy during the colder months, waiting for a new beginning to emerge. "Then we can pray to the moon / Keep me warm under the sun" is full of yearning for a warmer, more vibrant world where they can thrive.
