Tell him we're falling out
We got to move it
Oh, no, no, no, no Tell him the fire's out
Tell him to leave it all
We got to move it
Oh, no, no, no, no Tell it to me now that you wanted to be
That you were on top
That you were on top
That you were nothing and nothing Holding on in the summer
You've got my pictures and
They've got me facing
Won't even tell me that I'm moving
You've got my pictures and
They've got me facing
Won't even tell me that I'm Tell him we're leaving him
Tell him we're falling out
We got to move it
Oh, no, no, no, no Tell it to me now that you wanted to be
That you were on top
That you were nothing and nothing Tell it to me now that you wanted to be
That you were on top
That you were nothing and nothing Holding on in the summer
You've got my pictures and
They've got me facing
Won't even tell me that I'm moving
You've got my pictures and
They've got me facing
Won't even tell me that I'm Tell him we're leaving him
Tell him we're falling out

The lyrics to "In The Summer" by IAMDYNAMITE are somewhat mysterious and open to interpretation, but seem to be about leaving someone behind and moving on. The repetition of the phrase "Tell him we're leaving him" suggests that the singer is speaking directly to someone else, perhaps a friend or confidante, and instructing them to break the news of the departure. The use of the phrase "We got to move it" reinforces the idea of urgency and the need to take action immediately.
The lines "Tell it to me now that you wanted to be/ That you were on top/ That you were nothing and nothing" are particularly intriguing, suggesting that the person being addressed may have had an inflated sense of self-importance or ambition that ultimately led to their downfall. The repeated refrain "Holding on in the summer/ You've got my pictures and/ They've got me facing/ Won't even tell me that I'm moving" adds a sense of melancholy and contemplation, hinting at regrets and missed opportunities.
Overall, the lyrics to "In The Summer" are both enigmatic and emotive, conveying a sense of frustration and longing as the singer prepares to embark on a new chapter of their life.
