Summer
Simple Minds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes summer, here comes rain
Here comes all those mysteries, make me born again
Here comes lightning now, I like the way it shoots
Here comes all those mysteries taking me to my roots

And when the sun rises again
Into the fields I wake up
Into my dreams I descend
Where it's all so real

Here comes summer, here comes rain
Here comes all those energies, making me born again
Here comes lightning, I like the way it shoots
Here comes all those fantasies taking me to my roots

Here comes summer, here comes light
Here comes all those fantasies, taking me through the night
Here comes summer coming, here comes heat
Here comes that strange power taking me to my feet

And when the sun rises again
Into the fields I wake up
With no more dreams I descend
Where it's all so real

Here comes summer, here comes rain
Here comes all those energies, making me born again
Here comes lightning, I like the way it shoots
Here comes all those fantasies taking me to my roots

All those bodies
All those bodies move around
Oh all those bodies everywhere

Here comes summer, here comes rain
Here comes all those energies, making me born again
Here comes lightning, I like the way it shoots




Here comes all those fantasies taking me to my roots (hey!)
(Hey!) here comes summer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Simple Minds' song "Summer" seem to express a feeling of excitement and renewal that comes with the arrival of summer, and the powerful natural phenomena it brings with it. The opening lines, "Here comes summer, here comes rain / Here comes all those mysteries, make me born again," suggest that the changing weather and the unknown possibilities of the season create a sense of anticipation and rebirth in the singer. The mention of lightning and the way it shoots emphasizes the power and energy of summer, while "taking me to my roots" implies a connection to the natural world and perhaps to the singer's own origins.


The second half of the song continues to celebrate the unique qualities of summer, with lyrics like "Here comes all those energies, making me born again" and "Here comes that strange power taking me to my feet." The repetition of "Here comes" and the use of lists ("energies," "fantasies," "lightning") add to the sense of abundance and possibility that the season represents. The final lines bring a more sensual element to the song, with the mention of "all those bodies" and their movement.


Overall, "Summer" seems to be a celebration of the season's power and potential, both as a force of nature and as a time of personal renewal and connection to the world.
