Summer
Sampa the Great feat. Steam Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I didn't think you'd pick up
But I thought I'd try to get a hold of you anyways
It's been a minute I know but I was just thinking about those times in summer
When things were new
And I just thought I should call through
It feels like summer
Still love you
It feels like summer
What do we do
Still love you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say
I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say
We had the baddest attraction
You'd know what I'd do
I used to jump over hurdles to get to know you
And now I'm left with the burden I got to live through
And I can't stand with this feeling 'cause
I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say
I miss you
Hold on
Wait
Reach out
Say
Life after death I used to read it in the bible
Right after blessed the kingdom offered my revival
Tried to impress
A picture perfect best recital
And even all my theatre majors act the way that I do
Bury the dead
My hearts been stuck up in my feelings
How you go back to love after all the healing?
Try not relapse
I know I buried my anxiety dead
And death is asking how I'm dealing with that
I wipe up my tears
I watch out my window pain
Articulating loss
It's a cause
I can't feel
Imagine filling holes in your heart
You can't heal
I'm losing in love
I'll put at my walls again
And even in the end if I end with a heart and I will
I'm walking with the courage to love and I feel
Unafraid
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
(I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
The song "Summer" by Sampa the Great feat. Steam Down talks about nostalgia and longing for past experiences with someone special. The song begins with Sampa calling someone they haven't talked to in a long time. They mention how they've been thinking about the times they shared during the summer, and how things were new and exciting back then. The chorus of the song repeats the line "It feels like summer, what do we do, still love you," which emphasizes the feelings of being stuck in a moment in time and still having strong feelings for someone even after not seeing them for a while.
The second verse describes the intensity of the attraction Sampa had with this person. They recall going to great lengths to get to know them and how they're left with the burden of living without them. The bridge of the song talks about the process of healing after a breakup from a relationship. Sampa talks about the struggles of trying not to relapse and how even their acting colleagues deal with their feelings in the same way.
Overall, "Summer" by Sampa the Great feat. Steam Down is a reflective look at past relationships and the longing for connection with someone that was once important.

Hey!
Starting the conversation
Yeah I didn't think you'd pick up
Surprised that you answered my call

Didn't want to miss the chance to talk to you
It's been a minute I know but I was just thinking about those times in summer
Remembering the past when we spent the summer together
When things were new
Start of a new relationship
And I just thought I should call through
Feeling the urge to reach out to you
It feels like summer
Nostalgic about summer memories
What do we do
Wondering what happens now
Still love you
Confessing that love for you still remains
I miss you
Feeling the loss of your presence
Hold on
Asking for patience
Wait
Taking time to decide
Reach out
Trying to communicate
Say
Expressing the truth
We had the baddest attraction
Remembering the strong attraction between us
You'd know what I'd do
Knowing each other so well
I used to jump over hurdles to get to know you
Going to great lengths to be with you
And now I'm left with the burden I got to live through
Regretting the consequences of past actions
And I can't stand with this feeling 'cause
Feeling unable to cope with the emotions
Life after death I used to read it in the bible
Reflecting on religious beliefs about life and death
Right after blessed the kingdom offered my revival
Finding hope in a spiritual revival
Tried to impress
Striving to be impressive
A picture perfect best recital
Trying to be flawless
And even all my theatre majors act the way that I do
Seeing similarities with others in the performing arts
Bury the dead
Letting go of the past
My hearts been stuck up in my feelings
Feeling stuck in emotional turmoil
How you go back to love after all the healing?
Questioning how to love again after heartbreak
Try not relapse
Trying not to fall back into old patterns
I know I buried my anxiety dead
Feeling freed from anxiety
And death is asking how I'm dealing with that
Seeing the metaphorical death of an emotion
I wipe up my tears
Expressing grief for the past
I watch out my window pain
Looking out the window in sorrow
Articulating loss
Expressing the pain of heartbreak
It's a cause
A source of pain
I can't feel
Feeling numb from heartbreak
Imagine filling holes in your heart
Visualizing the pain of heartbreak
You can't heal
Being unable to fully recover
I'm losing in love
Failing in love
I'll put at my walls again
Building emotional walls to prevent heartbreak
And even in the end if I end with a heart and I will
Expecting eventual heartbreak
I'm walking with the courage to love and I feel
Choosing to love despite the risk of heartbreak
Unafraid
Brave enough to take the risk of love
I'm not afraid
Strongly expressing bravery

Life after death I used to read it in the bible
Right after blessed the kingdom offered my revival
Tried to impress, a picture perfect bass recital
Even though my theatre majors act the way that I do
Bury the dead, my heart's been stuck up in my feelings
How you goin' back to love after all the healing?
Try not to relapse, I know I buried my anxiety dead
And death is asking how I'm dealing with that
I wipe up my tears
I watch out my window pain
Articulating loss, it's a cause I can't feel
Imagine feeling holes in your heart
You can't heal
I'm losing in love
I'll put up my walls again
And even in the end if I end with a heart, and I will
I'm walking with the courage to love and I feel unafraid
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid
