Summer Snow
Dawson Hollow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's sliver in my nightmares again and again
Cold cold body all broke down
With a lust for this whole town I know
Such a lonely sight
Color red inside our veins
Driving us to the edge and the other side of insane
My clothes are wet but I still see you there
In the lighting mist
Love runs from me every time
Your heart of gold
P-p-petrifies me with your smile
You are my SUMMER SNOW
I keep waking from this same dream
Sweaty clothes all alone and there's red on my teeth
Blink my eyes darkness stays frozen rain in August days I know
Such a lonely sight
Love runs from me every time
Your heart of gold
P-p-petrifies me with your smile
You are my summer summer
S-SUMMER SNOW
You say we're like 'fetch'
We ain't never gonna happen
I say give it time
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow
You say we're like 'fetch'
We ain't never gonna happen
I say give it time
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow
You are my SUMMER SNOW
You are my summer summer summer summer snoooow
Summer summer snow

This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer confesses to feeling broken and alone with a lust for their entire town. The color red, which appears again in the lyrics, signifies the passion and violence that resides within them, propelling them towards the edge of insanity.

However, amidst this darkness, they see the object of their affection, who they refer to as their "Summer Snow."

The singer states how their heart of gold "petrifies" them, indicating that they may feel overwhelmed by their emotions.
The repeated lines "let it grow" suggest that the singer is holding onto hope that things will get better between them and their Summer Snow. Overall, the song provides a poignant insight into the inner turmoil and longing of the singer.

I heard your band for the first time at SDC. I didnโt really want to catch your show but my friend was like they are good, you will love them. I think you opened with this song, and I sat there absolutely mystified. When the song was over it was so good and I was in such shock I didnโt even clap or cheer. I was just blown away. Having listened to this on YT and seen it live, I highly recommend everyone see you guys play live. It is a totally different experience, and thatโs saying something because the recording is freaking good lol.
