Summer
Orquesta del Desierto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the moon
Pop up there
It's all about leaving this night
To keep
It's better left unsaid
At times just like these
You find it's understood
Like a summer as it ends
Like a touch of her hand
It's better still say they will
Say that it will come back
Sitting on this roof top
I can't see where it stops or starts
This darkness surrounds me
Like a sleep
It's better left unsaid
At times just like these
You find it's understood
This moment to keep
It's so much better left unsaid
It's so much better
Like a summer as it ends
Like a touch of her hand
It's better still if you will
Say that it will come back
The song "Summer" by Orquesta del Desierto paints a serene picture of watching the moon from a rooftop, surrounded by darkness. The singer seems to be urging someone to leave this moment without saying anything, suggesting that words may ruin the peace of this moment. The emphasis on leaving and keeping this moment creates a sense of fleetingness, like the end of a summer season. The repetition of "it's better left unsaid" emphasizes the importance of silence and the unspoken understanding between two people in certain moments.
The chorus compares this moment to the end of summer and a gentle touch from someone. The lyricist probably intended to capture the mood of nostalgia and longing that often accompanies the end of a season or a fleeting moment. The idea that saying something may bring back what is lost is a common theme in love songs, and it is particularly poignant in "Summer," where the sense of loss and fleetingness is palpable.
