Nächsten Sommer
Bosse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und der Herbst tut nur weh.
Die Blumenveranda stirbt
Und der Schnee
Weht in Kapuzen und die Finger gefrieren.
So wie die Hitze
Verschwinden auch wir,
Und die Stadt wird Alaska
Und versinkt im Schnee.
Und weisst du nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder,
Wir sagen nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder
Und weisst du nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder,
Wir sagen nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder
Auf unserer kleinen Strasse wo nicht viel ist
Da seh' ich dich wieder.
Du schlitterst nur rum
Wie Enten auf Eis,
Deine warmen Augen werden eiskalt.
Und ich weiss die können töten
Bis Februar.
Und unten links
Am Solarium
Stehen rote Frauen mit Discopalmen
Und kühlen sich im Pulverschnee
Die qualmenden Visagen.
Und weisst du nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder,
Wir sagen nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder.
Und weisst du nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder,
Wir sagen nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder.
Auf unserer kleinen Strasse wo nicht viel ist
Da seh' ich dich wieder.
Und ich hab's noch so im Hinterkopf
Es klebt an mir wie Sand aus einem Sandsturm.
So viele kleine Spuren und so
Du klebst an mir
Ich kleb' an dir.
Ich kleb' an dir.
Und weisst du nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder,
Wir sagen nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder.
Und weisst du nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder,
Und sagen nächsten Sommer sehen wir uns wieder.
Auf unserer kleinen Strasse unter'm Sonnenschirm
Da seh' ich dich wieder.
The lyrics to Bosse's song Nächsten Sommer paint a picture of the transition from summer to fall and then winter, as the warmth fades away and the cold sets in. The beginning of the song talks about how the summer is ending and how the fall only brings pain. The flowers on the veranda are dying and snow is starting to fall, freezing fingers and noses. The imagery is quite powerful and creates a sense of melancholy and loneliness that continues throughout the song.
The middle section of the song talks about how people retreat into their homes as the weather gets colder, and how the city becomes like Alaska, buried in snow. The lyrics state that just as the heat disappears, people disappear into their simple glassed windows. The summer is gone and so are the people that were enjoying it. The singer then expresses a hope that they will see their loved one again next summer, on their little street where not much happens. The final section of the song talks about how the singer is still thinking about the person they love and how the memories of them stick to them like sand from a sandstorm. The lyrics express a longing to see them again and an acknowledgement that they are bound together.
