On Summer
Pentimento Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such a natural ebb & flow -
The way that I seem to lose everything I love.
I blame myself for fucking up.
The weight on my chest was something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
I can't understand why I get so angry when
I hear things you say about how "over it" you think I am.
All the things that hold me back.
But the truth is...
There will always be that part of me, that pit in my chest;
There to replace the space you lived.
But the more I sink into reasons it didn't work out
I wonder if you've ever blamed yourself.
And no, I don't mean "blame" in some superficial way.
As if I could ever say you weren't good enough for me.
I mean that there are pieces of what we were
That were flawed and immature.
And your lack of trust, with a lack of reason
Helped fuck this up.
The lyrics to Pentimento's song On Summer talk about the natural ebb and flow of life and relationships. The singer laments how they seem to lose everything they love and blames themselves for messing things up. They carry a weight on their chest that they wouldn't wish on anyone. Even though they try to move past things that hold them back, there will always be a part of them that misses the person who left. They wonder if the other person has ever blamed themselves for the failure of their relationship.
The singer's frustration is evident when they mention getting angry at the other person's perception of them being "over it." They want to move on but can't seem to shake the feeling of loss. The song acknowledges that relationships are complex and that both parties bear some responsibility for their success or failure. The other person's lack of trust and reasoning contributed to the demise of their relationship. The lyrics are introspective and convey a sense of vulnerability, showing that the singer is trying to make sense of their emotions and past experiences.
