summer's gone
Janez Detd. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you've got buds, who needs sleep?
Our radios, poorly tuned,
Q 107 till the early mornings.
Stupid is, as stupid does.
Throwing wodka slammer down,
our wiry necks as we tail it trying to prove...
Sin-soaked, I was star-struck.
I really tried to keep my head,
while all around were losing theirs.
Didn't kiss like you'd just outgrown.
My little pony, you seemed ready to go.
Seeking carnal delight,
I took you to third base, that night.
CORUS
Summer's gone,
praid the sun that the days never end. wohohohow
Summer's gone,
sealed promises we'd always be friends.
Cause you'll soon be off to college,
while I'll be serving fries.
You'll be the queen of the campus
and soon forget about me and my band.
Billy Idol was on every hour.
We didn't mind, shouted and sweared along.
Gazing at the stars
while the others danced on the hood of our car.
CHORUS
The lyrics of Janez Detd.'s song "Summer's Gone" reminisce about the carefree days of summer spent on the beach with friends, drinking and staying up late listening to the radio. However, the song shifts towards a tale of a chance encounter with a girl named Mark's little sister, being infatuated with her, but knowing it can only be a short-lived friendship as she will soon be off to college, while the singer will be "serving fries". The lyrics capture the fleeting nature of summer relationships and the bitterness that can accompany them, as the singer acknowledges that the girl will soon forget about him and his band.
The lyrics capture the essence of summertime nostalgia, with references to the beach, radios, and drinking. The sense of carefree youth is captured by the singer's willingness to engage in stupid behavior and take chances, whether it be drinking or pursuing a romantic interest. However, the song also acknowledges the harsh reality that summer is temporary, relationships are fleeting, and a carefree youth is often replaced by mundane responsibilities. The song is a reminder to enjoy the moment and not take the present for granted.
