Green
Phineas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened
A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye
Romance was the theme
And we were the players
I never think of this without a sigh

Lover, one lovely day
Love came, planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through these moments apart memories live in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on Green Dolphin Street

Lover, one lovely day
Love came, planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through these moments apart memories live in my heart




When I recall the love I found on
On Green Dolphin Street

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Green Dolphin Street" by Phineas talks about a romantic encounter that seems like a dream but is still etched in the storyteller's memory. The singer reminiscences about a man, a maiden, a kiss, and a farewell, and how their romance defined that specific moment in time. The storyteller mentions that they cannot think of this memory without a sigh, which could indicate a level of regret or sadness attached to the memory. The verse sets the thematic tone for the rest of the song, which is all about love, memories, and the significance a specific location, Green Dolphin Street, has in the storyteller's heart.


The chorus of the song repeats the same idea twice, with minor changes that add depth and meaning to the lyrics. The line "Lover, one lovely day/Love came, planning to stay" indicates that the storyteller was not expecting love to take place that day, yet it disrupted the singer's life in ways never imagined. The following line, "Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting," shifts the focus from the subject of the song to the location where the memory and experience took place. The chorus repeats the idea of Green Dolphin Street, a setting that facilitated the creation of unforgettable memories and moments, which still live in the singer's heart.


Overall, Green Dolphin Street is a nostalgic look back at a romantic encounter that took place in a specific location. The song's focus is not just the love story but also the location that facilitated its creation, demonstrating how a specific space can carry meaning for an individual and shape their experiences.

Lyrics:

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends



Coco

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

This makes perfect sense within the context of the show. Doofenshmirtz would create some crazy device called the Punkinator, probably to use it on himself and impress his daughter, but he accidentally sets it on the entire town, so, after being hit, Phineas and Ferb hold a Greenday concert for the entire punkified town.
Then there’s a flash of light at the end as everything gets reversed.

CELICA IRONY

Sir , you just made a episode of Phineas and Ferb , you deserve a clap (CLAPPING)

Jason Lu

Major Monogram: Good morning Agent P. The evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz has created an evil device that will make him evil. Well, maybe not make him evil because he already is evil, but make him look evil. Because let's be real, that white coat pharmacist look just isn't working out for him. I mean, look at Carl. Doesn't he look not evil in that?

Carl: I think it looks cool! I mean, just look at how it flows in the wind!

Major Monogram: Just get out there and put a stop to him. Monogram out.

Perry: 🤠7

I also thought about plot like that but more that Candace gets hit with beam where it’s from a Nine Inch Nails album The Downward Spiral and starting to act like Trent Reznor and go totally crazy like the video from Closer and more..

Kevin Colón

I don’t know, with the addition of a possible conclusion of Phineas biological father gone, this story could easily be used as a potential movie, or at least a 1 hour special.

Yo!Peachi

this is a really good concept

I never knew Phineas could play guitar left handed and right handed. That's talent right there

Ray Sparks

phineas is canonically left handed. in the episode where candace is trying to get him a birthday present she ends up with a left handed tool which phineas thanks her for because he could never find one. so he had to use the right-handed one which was uncomfortable because he's a lefty

Randy Brown

They never can get that right though. They sometimes even switch hands between scenes.

Luke Thompson

He’s ambidextrous
