SUMMER
Syd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been holding my breath because you told me to
If the summer's gonna come then me and you
Better get in the car we'll just drive out
Far enough away so they can't find out
What it means to be alive

Sun soaks in and your skin smells warm
Like the last time I tried to move on
Game plays on, standing outside our door




But we stand strong, don't need this anymore ('cause we know)
What it means to be alive

Overall Meaning

In Syd's song Summer, the lyrics describe a sense of urgency to escape to a faraway place with someone. The first two lines, "I've been holding my breath because you told me to / If the summer's gonna come then me and you," suggest that the singer has been waiting for a chance to escape and is now ready to go. The phrase "holding my breath" may also suggest a sense of anticipation or anxiety, and the line "because you told me to" implies that the singer is following someone else's lead.


The following lines, "Better get in the car we'll just drive out / Far enough away so they can't find out," reinforce the idea that the singer and their companion are trying to get away from something, perhaps a difficult or uncomfortable situation. The final line of this stanza, "What it means to be alive," suggests that the singer is seeking a deeper, more meaningful experience than what they have been able to find so far.


The second stanza paints a sensory picture of the moment, with the "sun soaks in and your skin smells warm" creating a feeling of summer and warmth. However, there is a sense of unease, with the line "like the last time I tried to move on" suggesting that the singer may be struggling to let go of something. The chorus then kicks in, with the repeated refrain "we know what it means to be alive," suggesting that the escape and freedom they've found is what truly gives them meaning.


Overall, the lyrics to Summer convey a longing for escape and a deeper experience of life, while also hinting at the challenges and conflicts that come with such a journey.


Line by Line Meaning

I've been holding my breath because you told me to
I am doing what you asked me to do and waiting for the right moment


If the summer's gonna come then me and you
We need to wait for the right time to be together


Better get in the car we'll just drive out
Let's hit the road and escape from everything


Far enough away so they can't find out
We need to go where nobody knows us and start anew


What it means to be alive
We need to experience life to the fullest


Sun soaks in and your skin smells warm
We are basking in the warmth of the sun and each other's company


Like the last time I tried to move on
I have tried to move on from you but failed


Game plays on, standing outside our door
Life goes on and we have to face its challenges


But we stand strong, don't need this anymore ('cause we know)
We are strong enough to face anything that comes our way and we don't need anyone else to validate our happiness

I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground stations.

Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers.
A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 5 countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train?

The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 5 countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden.
oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily?

Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another one of the brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford could they extend the DLR right up to Chingford Please?

All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.
Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Sweden, the Prime Minister of Australia, the Prime Minister of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London Please?
