August
Carmen Canedo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A. calls me to my room
And it's easy to fall back into
Waves of heat start to consume
My will to evolve from April's gloom
And it's easy to fall back into
Nothing seems to matter at all
Oh the light heals my wounds
Tired of this voice I've used
August will bring me something new
And it won't be so easy to fall back to you
Noontime seems to follow your frown
Fractured figments of your hometown
Oh relax
Heal your wounds
Take time
Heal your wounds
The song August by Carmen Canedo can be interpreted as a reflection of the emotions that one goes through during the summer months. The song begins by highlighting the lazy and carefree nature of Saturdays in the month of June. In the next line, A. calls the singer into their room, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the inner voice that guides us. The singer falls easily into the summertime mood that envelops them, as symbolized by the 'waves of heat.'
The song then describes a feeling of stagnancy that comes from being in the same place for too long. The phrase 'My will to evolve from April's gloom' suggests that the singer has been in a cycle of negative emotions that they are trying to break away from. However, they find it 'easy to fall back into' because of the comforting familiarity of the atmosphere. The noontime pictures on the wall and the healing light symbolize the peace that comes from being in a safe and familiar place.
The second half of the song seems to be a conversation with someone who is experiencing a difficult time. When they sing, 'Noontime seems to follow your frown, fractured figments of your hometown,' they're describing a sense of negativity that the other person is carrying with them. The singer advises them to relax and heal their wounds, suggesting a need for self-care and rest. They declare that August will bring something new, and that the sense of longing for the past will no longer hold them back.
