Summer Song
Grey Does Matter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who knew I wouldn't get to swim at all?
Tough luck but the time just aint right
Countdown, just lost another one.
But Halloween's gonna make it all right.

I bet those drive-in speakers are broken again.

It's over.

Who knew I wouldn't see the stars at all?
They're still there but it just aint the same
Countdown, just lost another one.
I'm still here so I shouldn't complain.

I bet those drive-in speakers are broken again.





It's over.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grey Does Matter's Summer Song depict a sense of disappointment and nostalgia for the past. The singer expresses disappointment in not being able to swim and see the stars, suggesting that time has passed and the things they once enjoyed are no longer available to them. Losing time is a recurring theme in the lyrics, referring to the limited amount of time we have and the way in which we often waste it. However, the singer looks to Halloween as a way to reset and make things better, suggesting that new opportunities are always around the corner.


The repeated line "I bet those drive-in speakers are broken again" serves as a metaphor for the sense of loss and disappointment the singer is experiencing. Drive-in speakers were once a symbol of a simpler time, where people would come together to watch movies under the stars. Now, they represent a sense of decay and brokenness, highlighting the way that things can change and decline over time. The repetition of this line reinforces the idea that time is fleeting and that the past can never truly be recaptured.


Overall, Grey Does Matter's Summer Song captures a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia and loss while also looking forward to new beginnings. It serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of time and how important it is to appreciate the simple pleasures in life before they're gone.
