The Summer Is Over
Traffic Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now they're opening everything I think the summer is finally here
Everyone had their long sleep
Now they're crawling out to feel the warming summer breeze
But it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
But it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
There's something about this weather
That makes the people jump around
They wouldn't normally come out
It looks like we're going nowhere
'Cos we don't know where we've been or what the future might bring
But it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
But it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
And everybody knew that this day was gonna come
We wouldn't face the truth that our numbered days are done
We feel it in the air; the summer of our lives is gonna end tonight
But I know we're back at the end of May
'Cos it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
But it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
And it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
No it won't stay the same when the weather is cold
And it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over
The summer is over
The lyrics to Traffic Island's song The Summer Is Over summarize the transition from summer to fall, the ending of a season and the beginning of a new one. The town in which the singer lives has been closed during the winter months but is now opening up as the summer season arrives. People are waking up from their long winter slumbers and are enjoying the warming summer breeze. However, the singer reminds us that it won't stay the same when the weather turns cold and it feels like there's nothing left when the summer is over.
The lyrics suggest a sense of nostalgia for the summer months and the activities associated with them. The singer notes that there's something about the weather that makes people want to jump around, despite the fact that they wouldn't normally come out. This feeling may be temporary, though, as people don't know what the future might bring. The chorus reminds us that the energy and excitement of summer can't last forever and that we must cherish it while we can.
The final verse emphasizes the bittersweet nature of summer's end. The day that the summer season ends was inevitable, and people must confront the reality that their "numbered days are done." However, the singer remains optimistic, knowing that summer will return once again the following year. Overall, the lyrics of The Summer Is Over are a celebration of summer and a melancholic tribute to its fleeting nature.
