Summer Bird Diamond
Seabear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the fly in the pond sung
Watching the sun go down

We painted flames in the signs
I know it?s a bore, oh
To melt the ice and the snow
But we can't row, row it, row, row it

We'll have to wait until summer
Comes and wakes up
Then we can pray to the moon
Keep me warm under the sun

Overall Meaning

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 singer is stuck in their current situation and unable to change it.


Throughout the chorus, the singer 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.


Line by Line Meaning

When the fly in the pond sung
As the insect hummed over the water's surface


Watching the sun go down
Observing the sunset's descent


We painted flames in the signs
We created fiery images in the markers


I know it?s a bore, oh
I understand that it's tedious


To melt the ice and the snow
Thawing the frozen water and precipitation


But we can't row, row it, row, row it
But we cannot paddle and propel it


We'll have to wait until summer
We'll need to be patient for the arrival of summertime


Comes and wakes up
As the season begins and rejuvenates


Then we can pray to the moon
At that point, we can make supplications to the lunar body


Keep me warm under the sun
Provide me with heat under the sunlight
