Not for Me
Pantommind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunshine never left me for a while
Eternal summer for a little child
Who lives in his Wonderland
Watching another crimson sunrise
Hand in hand we felt out of time
Having no idea how to play the game
Called life - fall and rise again
It's a gold dreamful summer again
Footprints on the hot summer sand
Two teens in love on no-man's-land
Sun shines for them, for me it's rain
But not for me
It's not for me again...
But not for me
It's not for me again...
Footprints on the hot summer sand
Slaying every dream, living on the edge
We were living the most perfect time
The awesome life with no rain
This gold summer is not here anymore
The sun has turned its back on me
And left me here with no eyes to see
Sun shines for them, for me it's rain…
But not for me
It's not for me again...
But not for me
It's not for me again...
It's a gold dreamful summer again
Footprints on the hot summer sand
Two teens in love on no-man's-land
Sun shines for them, for me it's rain
But not for me
It's not for me again...
But not for me
It's not for me again...
The lyrics of Pantommind's song "Not for Me" talk about a person, possibly the singer, who remembers a time when everything was perfect, where he or she lived in their own little world, without really understanding the complexities of life. The hot summer sand, the eternal summer and the crimson sunrise are all symbols of this perfect time. However, things change, as they inevitably do, and the hot summer sand becomes a place where dreams are slain, and life becomes more complicated. The hot summer sand, which was once an escape from the world, becomes a barren place.
The singer talks about two teens in love on a "no-man's-land", which could be a symbol of their own perfect world, separated from the real world. The sun shines for them, but not for the singer, who seems to be in a dark place. The phrase "for me it's rain" could indicate a feeling of despair- the singer sees everything through a different lens, where the perfect summer is gone, and the sun no longer shines for him or her.
The phrase "But not for me, it's not for me again" is repeated throughout the song, and this could be a mantra for the singer, who accepts that the perfect summer, the eternal sunshine and the hot sand are not meant for them. It is a realization that life will always bring change, and not all change will be for the better. The song captures the pain of loss, the bittersweet memories of a happy past, and the uncertainty of the future.
