Summer Rain
Star Tropics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my head i know it's over
But in my heart it never began
If i close my eyes real tight
I'll get away like in the movies

In my head i paint a picture of us
We're the stars on the screen
Take my hand i don't care what you offer

All i know now
Is i don't want to know your name
Let's get lost in the summer rain
We will ride away

You sing so quietly tonight
You said we might live and we might die

There's no heaven where we're going
You just pretend to know how it all ends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Star Tropics' song Summer Rain describe a complicated relationship that the singer is struggling to let go of. Their logical mind acknowledges that the relationship is over, but their emotions refuse to accept it. The singer imagines a perfect scenario in their head where they can escape reality, just like in the movies. They dream of being stars on the big screen, lost somewhere in the summer rain, where they can ride away from their problems.

The lyrics also touch on the uncertainty of life and its inevitable end. The singer's partner talks about not knowing whether they will live or die and how there's no heaven where they're going. The singer later realizes that their partner is just pretending to know how everything ends. It's a poignant reminder that nobody knows what the future holds, and we're all just trying to make sense of it in our own way. The song ultimately speaks to the human need to escape reality, even if it's just for a moment, and the powerful emotions that can prevent us from doing so.

Line by Line Meaning

In my head i know it's over
I am aware that our relationship has come to an end.

But in my heart it never began
However, deep down inside, I understand that we never truly started a real connection.

If i close my eyes real tight
If I shut my eyes tight enough

I'll get away like in the movies
I can escape like they do in the movies.

In my head i paint a picture of us
I imagine us in my mind

We're the stars on the screen
As if we're the main actors in a movie

Take my hand i don't care what you offer
Hold my hand, I don't care what you can give me.

All i know now
At this moment, what I'm certain of is

Is i don't want to know your name
That I'm not interested in knowing your name.

Let's get lost in the summer rain
Let's escape into the heavy rain of summer, lost in the moment.

We will ride away
We'll gallop far from everything else.
