Summer Sun
Effi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won′t you come
And release me oh
I feel strain
That I'm done
And somehow I don′t know
If I miss,
Of the whole sweet blow.
I want things rushing into my skin!
Feel me.
I'm empty
And need our
Summer sun again!
My heart is messed up by
This long moments
Of not being your man
Your sleepy eyes
Keep me
Also
Tremendously in suspense
So we were shot behind to
Goodbye and
Jump out of the way tonight
To feel a game in sight.
Summer Sun
Won't you come
And release me oh
I feel strain
That I′m done
And somehow I don′t know
If I miss
Just a kiss
Of the whole sweet blow
I want things rushing into my skin
Kick me
I am ready
To be stunned of
You beside to shine
My ecstasy is caused by
The lights that
Draw circles on my mind
Just
To fade on
Trucely unsoft
You've had the paragon
My heart betters
Dancing was like have′t heard
A heart beating so long
Summer Sun
Won't you come
And release me oh
I feel strain that I′m done
And somehow I don't know
If I miss
Just a kiss
Of the whole sweet blow
I want things rushing into my skin
To my skin
To to to to my skin
The song "Summer Sun" by Effi is a beautiful and poetic representation of the artist's desire for freedom, love, and passion. The lyrics are wrought with imagery that speaks to the deep longing that the singer feels. She pleads with the sun to come and release her from the strain that she is feeling from not being with the one she loves. The chorus repeats this sentiment, driving home the sense of desperation that the character is feeling.
Effi draws upon the sensory experience to convey the depth of her emotions. She wants things to rush into her skin, to fill her up with life and ecstasy. She references kissing, circles of light on her mind, and the feeling of being stunned by the presence of another person. All of these things add up to a sense of wholeness that the singer is missing in her life. She is empty and in need of the warmth of the summer sun and the love of her partner.
The ending of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer repeats her desire for things to rush into her skin, but this time it's to her skin. This shows that she is finally ready to be filled up with life and love, and to be present in the moment, and in her own skin.
