SUMMER
Televisions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the sun, on the lines as the cars were driving by
We were safe, heard a sound
And the sun was going down
There were signs, there were signs
But the edges of my mind
We were fine, give it time
Ooh
Oh, in that sun
Ooh
Oh, in that
I'm gonna leave you sleeping with these diamonds in your hands
Before I go I'll kiss you baby one last time but then
Last summer's end I saw an angel in my head
I saw her lips were moving but I
I don't know what she said at all
We were flying down the road
You were fine, crossing lines, love that couldn't be defined
In our minds, it was time
So we open up our eyes
For a sign, you would smile
It's been going on for miles
Out of style, chasing dreams
Burning through the wild
Ooh
Oh, in that sun
Ooh
Oh, in that
I'm gonna leave you sleeping with these diamonds in your hands
Before I go I'll kiss you baby one last time but then I go
Last summer's end I saw an angel in my head
I saw her lips were moving but I
I don't know what she said at all
Something's gone away
Walk with me again
Remember everyday
Must come to an end
But we still have today
So walk with me again
We try to get away
Before this summer's end
Ooh
Oh, in that sun
Ooh
Oh, in that
I'm gonna leave you sleeping with these diamonds in your hands
Before I go I'll kiss you baby one last time but then I go
Last summer's end I saw an angel in my head
I saw her lips were moving but I
I don't know what she said at all
The lyrics of "Summer" by Television describe a moment in time where the singer and their companion lay in the middle of the road, basking under the sun, as cars drove past them. The singer reflects on the sound they heard and the realization that the day was soon coming to an end. They were aware of the signs around them but chose to ignore them, and they felt as though everything would eventually work itself out. The second verse seems to be a reflection of a memory that occurred during the last summer, where the singer saw an angel in their head. However, they couldn't understand the words that were being spoken. In the third verse, the singer seems to be reflecting on the inevitability of time and the need to make the most of the time they have left. They ask their companion to walk with them once again, trying to escape reality before the summertime comes to its end.
The song's use of imagery is thought-provoking as it paints a picture of a serene and nostalgic moment that is quickly coming to an end. The line "I'm gonna leave you sleeping with these diamonds in your hands" is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life, and the importance of cherishing every moment.
Overall, Television's "Summer" captures the feeling of living in the moment and the importance of seizing opportunities when they present themselves. It's a reminder to make the most of our lives and enjoy moments of tranquility and peace when they come our way.
