SUMMER
Griffin Village Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
are the things that defined my Ponyville Summer
When Nice Nurse Mare, from urgent care put my wings in slings
oh gosh what a bummer
(But I'll abscond)
But you wouldn't care when you're in the care of
(Where I'll have fun)
When you're in the care of Lyra and Bon-Bon
I looked all day, for a place to stay
But "No Vacancy" signs went on for miles
They saw my cast, they didn't even ask
they took me right in to stay for a while
(But I don't mind)
You wouldn't ask why when you were as desperate as I
(Out of the sun)
You don't ask why when it's Lyra and Bon-Bon
I watched them together while under the weather and couldn't believe my eyes
two ponies like this who share every kiss like they'll share the rest of their lives
It made me blue and a little bit green
that they were flushed red with love
I'm too yellow to tell them that I'm leaving today
under the orange sunset up above
(Ooooooh)
Plucking strings and broken wings are the things that defined my Ponyville summer...
The lyrics of Griffin Village's song "Summer in 2-3" depict the painful and disappointing experiences of the singer during his Summer in Ponyville. The first verse talks about his broken wings and plucking strings which defined his Summer, suggesting that he had some physical or emotional trauma that made it hard for him to enjoy the season. The second verse talks about how he looked for a place to stay but all he could see were "No Vacancy" signs, which made it harder for him to cope with his situation. However, he eventually found shelter with Lyra and Bon-Bon, who took him in without asking too many questions.
The bridge of the song is where the true meaning of the lyrics shines through. Here, the singer reflects on how he felt watching Lyra and Bon-Bon together while he was sick and couldn't believe his eyes. He describes the two as being in love in a way that makes them seem to be sharing every kiss like they will spend the rest of their lives together. This realization makes him feel a bit jealous and sad as he is too scared to tell them that he is leaving.
Overall, "Summer in 2-3" is a beautifully written song that captures the essence of lost love and painful nostalgia that sometimes accompany the end of the Summer season.
