This Summer
Rufus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We all made plans to go out this summer
Lost in brightness
Feeling, I want this
To last a lifetime
On and on and on and on
You wanted to notice
The light around us
Is gone is gone is gone is gone
Lost in brightness
Skies surround us
Lost in brightness
Feeling, I want this
We all made plans to go out
We all made plans to go out this summer, to go out this summer
We all made plans to go out at night
We all made plans to go out this summer, to go out this summer
Fly right through me
The wind knows the reason to breathe into me
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Lost in brightness
I want this feeling
We all made plans to go out
We all made plans to go out this summer, to go out this summer
We all made plans to go out at night
We all made plans to go out this summer, to go out this summer
The lyrics to RÜFÜS's "This Summer" are about the excitement and anticipation surrounding the summer season, specifically going out with friends and enjoying the warm weather. The first verse is about making plans to go out and have fun together. The line, "Lost in brightness, feeling I want this, to last a lifetime," expresses the desire to hold onto the happiness and warmth of summer forever. The repeated phrase "on and on and on and on" emphasizes this desire for the good times to continue indefinitely.
The second verse describes the natural beauty of summer, with "skies surround us" and the desire to "notice the light around us." However, this feeling is fleeting and "gone is gone is gone is gone." This can be interpreted as a reminder to fully embrace the joy of the season while it lasts, as it's only temporary.
The bridge of the song takes a more introspective turn, with the wind being personified as it "flies right through me." The idea that "the wind knows the reason to breathe into me" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the rejuvenating and life-giving energy of summer.
Overall, "This Summer" is a nostalgic and wistful ode to the carefree spirit of the season, and a reminder to appreciate it while it lasts.
