Summertime Is Coming
Paul Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forget all those things that do with doubts
Swallow all the animals that conceal
Us in our whole lives like this
Summertime is coming, so get out
So get out
Get out
Summertime is calling for you child (yeah, yeah)
To give you a sense of reliance to feel at
Home in a crowd (yeah, yeah)
The season the season is calling calling
And all of it breathes into one day
Get out
You'll get out
Mmm you'll get out
You'll get out
I'm calling
Break out
I'm calling you out (break out)
Break out
I'm calling (break out) to find a way back
And somehow to say it back
Summertime is coming for you child (yeah, yeah)
The summer can feel that you're pliant
And that you're sweet like a peach on the beaches
So get out
So get out
Mmm you'll get out
You'll get out
I'm calling
Break out
I'm calling you out (break out)
Break out
I'm calling (break out) just to buy a way back
And somehow to say it back
I'm calling
Break out (we will)
Break out (we will)
I'm calling (we will meet)
We will
Is this the right time to know me?
Is this the right time to know?
Is this the right sign to show me?
Is this the right?
Oh, is this the right?
Mine
Can we waste some more time just colliding in space?
No matter how high we set the bar
No matter how high we set the bar
Can we waste some more time just colliding in space?
No matter how high we set the bar
No matter how high we set the bar
We will
The first stanza of Paul Banks's song Summertime Is Coming talks about the arrival of summer and the need to forget about doubts and fears that have been holding one back. The line "Swallow all the animals that conceal us in our whole lives like this" suggest that we have to overcome our fears and come out of hiding. The second stanza addresses the listener directly, calling for them to embrace the season and find a sense of belonging in the crowd that comes with summertime. The repetition of the line "get out" throughout the song reinforces the idea of breaking free from fears and embracing new experiences. The final stanza asks whether this is the right time to fully know oneself and others, and whether it's the right moment to take a chance on something new.
The lyrics appear to be about the arrival of summertime, but they could also be interpreted as a metaphor for personal growth and self-discovery. The singer urges the listener to break free from self-doubt and take a chance on new experiences, finding a sense of belonging in the crowd just as one finds inner peace when they embrace their true selves.

Love your timeless voice Paul! It's tied to so many great memories for me. Have grown with Interpol since Turn On The Bright Lights EP..and 4 shows later. If you where swinging by Charlotte I'd there. I hope for everything you put into this album you get back an amazing return!
