HeatWave
AMBY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never better
Want to wear her sweater
Praying for the cooler weather
Summer should pass
One last night one last dance
Play our song one last chance
Tears are colder knowing in advance
Tried hard not to run
My god we're pretty in the sum
But iI am not the one
How far I've come
To know I'm not in love
Cause I am not
I am not the one
My skin blisters, it's September
Feeling less than better
Lonesome leaves
Confused that they still fall
Tumble slowly to the dying grass
Our time has long passed
Autumn in this city burns
Til snow comes too fast
Tried hard not to run
My god she's gorgeous in the sun
But I am not the one
When winter comes
We'll be so out of love but
Summer's always fun
Can't stay under your thumb
Hope she won't hold it against me
(Please don't hold it against me)
I'm falling like brown leaves
(I've been falling like brown leaves, oh)
This September heat's confusing to me
Hope she won't hold it against me
(Hope she won't!)
I'm falling like brown leaves
(I've been falling!)
This September heat is so confusing
The lyrics to AMBY's song "Heatwave" are filled with a sense of longing and confusion that comes with the changing seasons, particularly the transition from summer to autumn. The opening lines capture the feeling of summertime, where everything seems perfect and the singer is in a state of bliss. However, they also express the desire for cooler weather and the passing of summer.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of impending farewell. The singer speaks of one last night, one last dance, and playing their song one final time. They are soaked through the shoulder, perhaps from tears, which now feel colder because they know in advance that things are coming to an end. The lyrics convey the struggle of not wanting to run away from the situation but realizing that they are not the right person for their partner.
Moving into autumn, the lyrics reflect a sense of melancholy. The singer's skin blisters, a metaphor for the emotional pain they are experiencing. They feel lonesome as the leaves fall, confused by the fact that they are still falling even though their time together has passed. The autumn in the city burns, perhaps symbolizing the intensity of their emotions until winter arrives too quickly.
The chorus repeats the idea of not being the one, even though there is undeniable beauty in their partner and their time together. The lyrics express the anticipation of falling out of love as winter comes, but also acknowledge the enjoyment of summer's fun and the desire to not be controlled by their partner.
Overall, "Heatwave" speaks to the bittersweet nature of love, the confusion brought by changing seasons, and the struggle to accept the reality that they are not meant to be together.
