Constantly translating personal experience into his craft, Carmack finds inspiration from a range of sources, from his friends and fellow musicians in production cliques, Team Supreme and Soulection, to his travels and numerous sold out tours of five continents over the past two years, sharing stages with folks like Hudson Mohawke, Just Blaze, Cashmere Cat, and Diplo. These influences, combined with a hunger for discovering the newest, most cutting-edge sounds in the world, are some of the ingredients to the now-Los Angeles-based producer’s distinct creative process.
Like a hinge to the doorway between dance music and hip hop, Carmack’s musical output increasingly occupies a void frontier between the two genres, identified by fans and himself purely as “Carmack”. With a devotion to the studio & a grinding work ethic, the inventive producer aims to release a prolific amount of music in coming months, all while performing as often as possible.
SUMMER
Mr. Carmack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I led you on, then found another
I realize, you're gone for good
Now I realize, I don't want no other
Don't want no one
But I can't heal the pain
It's trapped my heart again
And if I never, never lose
It's just a sad, sad summer again
And after all these waves crash over
I'm sunburned and peeled, from overexposure
And I tried to flip the hourglass
We live like we're young, but we're getting older
How'd we get so old
And I can't break this ceiling 'till I start again
And I keep runnin', runnin', runnin' from what lives within
It's just a sad, sad summer again
You'd had enough by the end of summer
You're burning one, while I'm sipping Stella
I'm curlin' up, like the setting sun
'Cause you've had enough, yea you've had enough
And I can't break this ceiling 'till I start again
And I keep runnin', runnin', runnin' from what lives within
It's just a sad, sad summer again
It's just a sad, sad summer again
The song "Summer" by Mr. Carmack talks about the pain of heartbreak and loss that the singer had to go through with his lover. The first few lines of the song reveal the singer's regrets about leading on this person before the summer and then finding someone else. He realizes that he lost a good thing, and he wishes he never hurt them. The chorus speaks of how the singer cannot heal from the pain that he caused and how he cannot seem to get over his previous lover. He feels trapped and incapable of moving on. The next few lines of the song talk about the effects of time and aging, how things have changed, and how they can never go back to when they were young. The last verse reveals how the other person finally had enough at the end of summer and left him, which makes the pain more acute.
The song is a poignant take on the bittersweet nature of summer, which sometimes can create memories that are joyous and full of life, but other times can expose the hidden cracks in our relationships. Many people relate to the lyrics of the song, particularly those who have faced heartbreak and loss in summer relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
I called you up, before the summer
I reached out to you before the summer season started
I led you on, then found another
I made you think I was interested in you, but then found someone else
I realize, you're gone for good
I now understand that you have left me forever
Now I realize, I don't want no other
Now I understand that I don't want anyone else but you
Don't want no one
I don't want anyone else
But I can't heal the pain
However, I am unable to get over the hurt I feel
It's trapped my heart again
The pain has taken over my heart once more
And if I never, never lose
Even if I never experience defeat
How can I ever win
I can never truly win
It's just a sad, sad summer again
The summer season is just depressing and sad once more
And after all these waves crash over
After all the challenges and obstacles have passed
I'm sunburned and peeled, from overexposure
I am damaged and exposed from experiencing too much
And I tried to flip the hourglass
I attempted to change things
We live like we're young, but we're getting older
We act like we are carefree youths, but we are actually aging
How'd we get so old
How did we end up so old?
And I can't break this ceiling 'till I start again
I am unable to progress until I begin anew
And I keep runnin', runnin', runnin' from what lives within
I continue to run away from my inner demons
You'd had enough by the end of summer
You were fed up by the end of summer
You're burning one, while I'm sipping Stella
You are smoking marijuana while I am drinking beer
I'm curlin' up, like the setting sun
I am shrinking away, just like the sun disappearing beyond the horizon
'Cause you've had enough, yea you've had enough
Because you have reached your limit, you are done with me
It's just a sad, sad summer again
The summer season is just depressing and sad once more
It's just a sad, sad summer again
The summer season is just depressing and sad once more
