Indian Summer
Nguru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I can see her she reminds me of an Indian summer
and of colourful trees
If she's standing behind me, I have no fear of dying,
because I would die nearby her.
The summer turns too high
the coffee's already on the table and the radio is on.
And I have to turn the morning light on, on the outside it's still dark, the nights are getting longer.
Where remained the days, the summer disappeared without a trace
where is the sunlight in my face
which has woken me up. I sweep under the rug
all the problems, that worry me.
But she helps me
In the last few years she has become my inspiration my good soul
the good angel on my side
Yes I've tried to be wide eyed and every day to save my own hide,
but this hide flows slowly off.
yes she is the only constant thing in my life with ups and downs, she's the only eternal.
Yes I walk on by, head up; dry my little tears away
and follow fast the calls from the wild inside
What would I do, for a day or two
If she would leave, I would get out of my head
like an arrow in the brain
If I turn away from this stabilizing pole on my side,
It would be like a fist that strikes me
The lyrics of Nguru's song Indian Summer narrates a story of a person who is in awe of a woman's presence. The persona compares the woman to an Indian summer, which is described as beautiful, captivating, and colorful. The woman is a source of inspiration and comfort for the persona. With her, the persona feels safe and secure; without her, he would feel lost and abandoned. The first part of the song talks about the changing of the seasons - from summer to autumn. The persona expresses his fascination with the beautiful colors of the trees during autumn but also expresses his sadness that the summer has ended. He wishes for the days of sunshine to return. However, he takes comfort in knowing that the woman he admires stands behind him, providing him with a sense of security.
In the second part of the song, the persona talks about how the woman has become his constant source of inspiration; his "good soul" and "good angel on his side." He knows that life can be hard, but as long as she is with him, they can weather any storm. He expresses his fear of losing her, and how that would affect his mental and emotional state. The persona considers the woman his "stabilizing pole" - the one thing that keeps him grounded and secure in life. Without her, he'd be lost.
Overall, the lyrics of Nguru's Indian Summer evoke a sense of longing, admiration, and love for the woman that the persona is describing. The woman is a source of light and comfort in an ever-changing, dark world. The persona is deeply grateful to have her in his life, and the song is a tribute to the beauty and power of human connection.
Line by Line Meaning
If I can see her she reminds me of an Indian summer
The sight of her reminds me of the warmth and beauty of an Indian summer
and of colourful trees
Her presence evokes memories of the vibrant and lively autumn foliage
If she's standing behind me, I have no fear of dying,
With her close proximity, I feel safe and protected from the fear of death
because I would die nearby her.
I am content with the idea of dying as long as I am near her
The summer turns too high
I am overwhelmed by the intensity and fleeting nature of summer
the coffee's already on the table and the radio is on.
The morning routine is already in motion, signaling the start of a new day
it's the first day of Autumn
The beginning of a new season, marked by transition and change
And I have to turn the morning light on, on the outside it's still dark, the nights are getting longer.
Although it may still be dark outside, I must bring light to this new day, even as the days grow shorter
Where remained the days, the summer disappeared without a trace
The fast-paced nature of summer has left me wondering where the time has gone
where is the sunlight in my face
I miss the light and warmth of the sun on my face that awakened me each morning during the summer
which has woken me up. I sweep under the rug
I have suppressed the problems that weigh on my mind
all the problems, that worry me.
The issues that cause me concern and anxiety
But she helps me
Her support and guidance assist me in facing and overcoming my problems
In the last few years she has become my inspiration my good soul
Over time, she has become my source of inspiration and my guiding light
the good angel on my side
She serves as a benevolent guardian for me
Yes I've tried to be wide eyed and every day to save my own hide,
I have attempted to remain alert and vigilant, in order to protect myself and my interests
but this hide flows slowly off.
Despite my efforts, I still feel vulnerable and exposed
yes she is the only constant thing in my life with ups and downs, she's the only eternal.
Although I may experience many changes and fluctuations in my life, she remains a constant and eternal presence
Yes I walk on by, head up; dry my little tears away
I walk with confidence and composure, attempting to hide any emotional vulnerability
and follow fast the calls from the wild inside
I heed the instinctual, passionate desires within me
What would I do, for a day or two
I would do anything for even a short amount of time with her
If she would leave, I would get out of my head
Her absence would cause me to lose my mental clarity and become consumed by my thoughts
like an arrow in the brain
Her leaving would be a sharp and painful blow to my mental state
If I turn away from this stabilizing pole on my side,
If I were to distance myself from her, my emotional stability would be compromised
It would be like a fist that strikes me
It would feel like a physical blow to my well-being
