Only Summer Knows
Susana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you've seen the dark edge
Close and personal
And you've lost your faith in love
But love has always try to find you
Bring us back to life
Can you remember
The love you left behind
Can you remember
That long hard summer we shared
Dreaming in the sun
Only summer knows
I didn't want it to end
The power of our hearts
Could light up a day
Summer knows
We showered in the moonlight
Believing that love could last
Can you believe again
Only summer knows
Only summer knows
I didn't want it to end
The power of our hearts
Could light up a day
Summer knows
We showered in the moonlight
Believing that love could last
Can you believe again
Only summer knows
In Susana's song 'Only Summer Knows,' the lyrics express a profound message of hope and optimism, urging a lost loved one to hold on to their faith in love, despite the difficult circumstances they may have faced in the past. The opening lines convey the loneliness and pain felt by someone who has been single for a long time and has lost their belief in love. Despite this, the song reassures them that love has always been trying to find them, and with the right person, they can be brought back to life.
The chorus then turns to nostalgic memories of a past relationship where the couple spent a beautiful summer together, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the moon while believing in the power of their love. The hook 'Only summer knows' is a metaphorical reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the impermanence of life, urging the person to live in the present moment and enjoy what life has to offer. The song offers hope and encourages the person to believe in love again, to let go of the past and take another chance on finding happiness.

You have been alone for so long
You've spent a long time by yourself
I know you've seen the dark edge
I understand that you've experienced some difficult times
Close and personal
Up close and painfully real
And you've lost your faith in love
You don't believe in love anymore
But love has always try to find you
Love has always attempted to reach out to you
Bring us back to life
Allow our love to rejuvenate us
Can you remember
Do you recall
Scattered pictures
Some scattered memories
The love you left behind
The love that you abandoned
That long hard summer we shared
The challenging summer that we were in together
Dreaming in the sun
We had hopes while enjoying the nice weather
Only summer knows
Only the summer witnessed it
I didn't want it to end
I wished it could have gone on for longer
The power of our hearts
The strength of our passionate bond
Could light up a day
Could illuminate and brighten up any day
Summer knows
The summer remembers
We showered in the moonlight
We bathed in moonlit nights
Believing that love could last
Believing that our love could be long-lasting
Can you believe again
Can you once again have faith in love
Only summer knows
Only the summer is privy to the memories we had

I'm sorry but, as a true fan of Trance music, I can't understand how is it posible this song doesn't have more recognition, not in the world of commercial music, but at least it should be a masterpiece in Trance world.
It's been to years since I discovered this song, and it's still the most uplifting and powerfull song of the genre I've ever heard.

Thats because people think trance is only partying music and to trip their balls off only. They fail to understand its intricate musical value, meaning and significance

I mean, only by saying Susana it automatically sends your thoughts to one of the best trance vocalists, yet another great track. May God bless her, what an absolutely masterpiece.

One of the most powerful voices in trance; or any other genre for that matter. Beautiful natural vibrato and dead on key. What a pleasure to hear!

Susana has such a hauntingly melodic and beautiful angelic voice. She definitely set's the bar for female vocalists!
