Summer day
T.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they escape and they run wild
Revenge is sweet or so I've been told
It just leaves a bitter taste behind
Yeah the roof is leaking, I don't give a damn
Yeah it's raining on my head
You took this sacred heart and sewed it to your sleeve
Then you left me for dead
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
[Chorus]
I loved you madly
You went away
What a dirty trick to play
I may have loved you badly
That's what you say
Oh dirty summer's day
I found your stilettos in my room yesterday
They were glowing in the dark
I was smiling as I threw them from the 42nd floor
Yeah this time you've gone too far
See those pretty stars in the heavens so blue
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
[Chorus]
I was dreaming last night of stealing a gun
And shooting holes right through the sky
I was screaming and the were cowboys and showgirls on fire
And I thought it was my time to die
See those yellow flowers nodding like fools
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
[Chorus x 2]
The song "Summer Day" by T.A. is a melancholic piece that speaks of heartbreak and betrayal. The lyrics reveal the singer's feelings of anger and bitterness towards a former lover who has left them feeling broken and alone. The opening lines of the song express the singer's emotional turmoil as they struggle to keep their secrets hidden but find that they keep escaping and running wild. The following lines speak of revenge, which the singer knows is not the answer, as it only leaves a bitter taste behind. The line "yeah, the roof is leaking, I don't give a damn, yeah, it's raining on my head" symbolizes the singer's current state of mind and how they feel like nothing is going right in their life.
The singer then talks about how their former lover took their sacred heart, but instead of treating it delicately, they sewed it to their sleeve and then left the singer for dead. The yellow flowers nodding like fools are a metaphor for the betrayal the singer has experienced, and they want to destroy them as they remind them of their former lover. The chorus speaks of how the singer loved their former lover madly, but they went away, and it was a dirty trick to play. However, the singer accepts that they may have loved them badly, which is what their former lover says. The last line of the chorus, "Oh dirty summer's day," is perhaps a reference to how the summer, which is typically associated with happiness and warmth, has now become dirty and bleak for the singer.
In the second verse, the singer finds their former lover's stilettos in their room, which only adds to their anger and frustration. They throw them from the 42nd floor, a symbol of how high their emotions have reached due to their former lover's actions. The pretty stars in the heavens are another reminder of the singer's former lover, and they want to destroy them as well. The final verse speaks of the singer's dream, where they are stealing a gun and shooting holes through the sky, and how they feel like it is their time to die as cowboys and showgirls are on fire.
Overall, "Summer Day" by T.A. is a heartfelt depiction of heartbreak and how it can make one feel isolated and bitter. The lyrics are a powerful reminder of the emotional impact love and betrayal can have on an individual.

I have these secrets I keep to myself
There are things I keep hidden within me
But they escape and they run wild
But sometimes they come out of me uncontrollably
Revenge is sweet or so I've been told
People say getting back at one who hurt you feels good
It just leaves a bitter taste behind
But afterwards it only feels sour
Yeah the roof is leaking, I don't give a damn
My living conditions aren't great, but I'm unbothered
Yeah it's raining on my head
It's literally raining on me
You took this sacred heart and sewed it to your sleeve
You took advantage of my vulnerability by exposing my heart
Then you left me for dead
And then abandoned me without thought
See those yellow flowers nodding like fools
I see those flowers moving in the wind foolishly
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
I want to destroy them because they bring up painful memories of you
I loved you madly
I loved you passionately
You went away
But then you left
What a dirty trick to play
It was cruel of you to leave me like that
I may have loved you badly
Perhaps I loved you poorly
That's what you say
At least that's what you claim
Oh dirty summer's day
On this unpleasant summer day
I found your stilettos in my room yesterday
I discovered your high heels in my room yesterday
They were glowing in the dark
They were illuminated in the dark
I was smiling as I threw them from the 42nd floor
I was amused as I threw them from the 42nd floor
Yeah this time you've gone too far
This time you've crossed the line
See those pretty stars in the heavens so blue
I see those beautiful stars in the blue sky
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
I want to destroy them because they bring up painful memories of you
I was dreaming last night of stealing a gun
I had a dream of stealing a firearm last night
And shooting holes right through the sky
And shooting bullets through the sky
I was screaming and the were cowboys and showgirls on fire
I yelled while cowboys and showgirls burned
And I thought it was my time to die
And I thought it was my turn to die
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
I want to destroy them because they bring up painful memories of you
I loved you madly
I loved you passionately
You went away
But then you left
What a dirty trick to play
It was cruel of you to leave me like that
I may have loved you badly
Perhaps I loved you poorly
That's what you say
At least that's what you claim
Oh dirty summer's day
On this unpleasant summer day
