Summer Is a Curse
The Faim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burnt lips when the wind blows
Black tint on the windows
I can't see what the future holds
But I wanna know

I tip toe on the dirt road
Too hot for the devil
I can't see what the future holds
But I wanna know

It's like hearts don't bleed like mine
All we need is time

The summer is a curse and I can't let go
If you never try then you never know
A broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

Dark days and a deeper cold
If you never try then you never know
A broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Sea breeze you convince me
Yeah I don't need this city
I could leave in a heart beat
And you gotta know, yeah you gotta know

Hearts don't bleed like mine
All we need is time

The summer is a curse and I can't let go
If you never try then you never know
A broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

Dark days and a deeper cold
If you never try then you never know
A broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

The summer is a curse and I can't let go
If you never try then you never know
Broke city with a broken heart
We fall apart

The summer is a curse and I can't let go
If you never try then you never know
A broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

Dark days and a deeper cold
If you never try then you never know
Broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

The summer is a curse and I can't let go
If you never try then you never know




Broke city with a broken heart
The summer is a curse and we fall apart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Faim's "Summer Is a Curse" paint a picture of a bleak outlook on life in the midst of summer. The opening lines "Burnt lips when the wind blows, black tint on the windows" describe the uncomfortable heat and the need to block out the sun. The uncertainty of the future is also emphasized, "I can't see what the future holds, but I wanna know." The chorus repeats the phrase "The summer is a curse," suggesting that the season brings more problems than enjoyment.


The second verse describes the desire to leave a broken city and a broken heart. The sea breeze offers an opportunity for escape, and the singer thinks that they could leave at any moment. The bridge provides a glimmer of hope with the lyrics, "Hearts don't bleed like mine, all we need is time." However, the repetition of the chorus at the end reinforces the idea that the summer is a curse, and there seems to be no escape from the harsh reality.


Overall, the song is a melancholic portrayal of summer, and the lyrics emphasize the difficulty of escaping the problems that come with the season.


Line by Line Meaning

Burnt lips when the wind blows
My lips are dry and chapped due to the harsh wind


Black tint on the windows
The windows are covered with a dark layer, obstructing my view


I can't see what the future holds
I don't know what lies ahead in my life


But I wanna know
But I'm curious to find out


I tip toe on the dirt road
I walk silently on the dusty path


Too hot for the devil
The climate is extremely hot even for mythical creatures


It's like hearts don't bleed like mine
Others don't seem to feel emotions as intensely as I do


All we need is time
We just need to wait for things to fall into place


The summer is a curse and I can't let go
The season is causing me pain and I'm struggling to move on


If you never try then you never know
If you don't take risks, you'll never know what could have been


A broke city with a broken heart
The city is poor and its people are hurting


And we fall apart
And we're breaking down


Dark days and a deeper cold
The days are gloomy and the chill goes beyond just the weather


Sea breeze you convince me
The ocean wind makes me think differently


Yeah I don't need this city
I realize I don't require this urban life


I could leave in a heart beat
I could depart abruptly and easily


And you gotta know, yeah you gotta know
And you must understand my perspective


The summer is a curse and we fall apart
The season is hurting us and we're breaking down


If you never try then you never know
If you don't take risks, you'll never know what could have been


Broke city with a broken heart
The city is poor and its people are hurting
