Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me can you walk me there?
Enough, I am not.
Enough, I am not real.
Go on let your ears define (it).
Tell me if you want me still?
Enough, I am not.
Back doors are swinging,
All black is it to defend?
I'm going to walk back injured.
I'm going to walk back injured.
I'm going to walk back into it.
All that you said is heartfelt.
Nobody's protest, it's nobody's protest,
It's nobody's protest.
All that you said is haunted.
Nobody's protest, it is nobody's protest,
It is nobody's protest it is.
Heartbroken,
I breath it.
What are the reasons in
Cutting a million tracks,
Folded but I'm rolling.
What are the reasons,
Don't wanna to walk back, that's the spirit,
Love you fellow.
Dull black summer,
Can you read the sign?
To an awful setting,
Telling public lies.
Different colors,
Different light that hope you trigger's
Talking to my eyes.
The lyrics of "Black Summer" by Efterklang; Sønderjysk Pigekor; South Denmark's Girls Choir discuss the complexity of emotions and the uncertain nature of reality. When the singer says, "Go on let your ears define (it)," they are suggesting that there may be more than meets the eye, and that one should listen carefully before making any conclusions. The singer questions whether they are real or worthy, saying "Enough, I am not" and "Enough, I'm a lot less." The back doors are swinging in the song, which could signify that the singer is leaving something behind. They resolve to walk back injured and return to the difficulties of their situation.
The song also touches on the theme of protest, but in a more abstract way. The lyrics state that "Nobody's protest, it's nobody's protest, It's nobody's protest," suggesting that while there may be people who disagree or speak out against something, there is no real change or impact. The singer seems disheartened and heartbroken, yet still clings to hope. They ask "What are the reasons in Cutting a million tracks, Folded but I'm rolling," perhaps wondering why they and others continue to try and make changes even when they seem impossible. The dull black summer is something that the singer wants to read a sign from, the sign could potentially display hope, but instead it tells public lies.
