Blue September
Trentemøller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue September
You got me thinking and loose my temper
Do you remember
Not so long ago, the endless summer

Bright nights are ending
Now it's closing in, but I'm still here
Feeling the fire burning
My bones are cold but the world is turning

Sugarcoated memories of long lost days
Flying high on fantasies in mysterious ways

Blue September
You got me thinking and loose my temper
Do you remember
Not so long ago, the endless summer

Sugarcoated memories of long lost days
Flying high on fantasies in mysterious ways

(Blue September)





(Do you remember, do you remember)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trentemøller's song "Blue September" reflect a bittersweet nostalgia for the end of summer and the transition into the colder months. The mention of "Blue September" serves as a metaphor for the change in seasons and emotions associated with it.


The lyrics begin with the line "You got me thinking and lose my temper," suggesting that the arrival of September brings about a contemplative and possibly volatile state of mind. The emotions of the singer are heightened, and they may find themselves easily frustrated or on edge. This could be due to the realization that summer is coming to an end and the sense of freedom and warmth that comes with it is disappearing.


The lyrics then ask, "Do you remember, not so long ago, the endless summer?" This line is filled with longing for the carefree days of summer that felt like they could go on forever. The singer reminisces about the bright nights and the feeling of endless possibilities that characterized those summer months. The transition into September marks the end of this idyllic period, and the singer is left with a sense of nostalgia for what once was.


The next verse speaks of the changing seasons and the contrasting emotions and sensations within the singer. The line "My bones are cold but the world is turning" conveys a sense of physical and emotional dissonance. The singer feels a chill in their bones, a sign of the approaching colder weather, while the world around them keeps moving forward. This juxtaposition hints at a feeling of being out of sync with the external world, as though the singer's emotional landscape is out of step with the changing seasons.


The repetition of the line "Sugarcoated memories of long lost days" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's longing for the past. The memories of those "long lost days" are sweetened by time and distance, making them all the more alluring and precious. The mention of flying high on fantasies in mysterious ways suggests that the singer found solace in daydreams and imagination during the summer months. However, as September arrives, these fantasies become more distant and elusive.


In conclusion, "Blue September" is a song that captures the wistful emotions associated with the end of summer and the arrival of autumn. The lyrics speak of longing for the carefree days of summer, the conflicting emotions of the transition into colder months, and the elusive nature of nostalgic memories. It is a reflection on the passage of time and the impact it has on our emotions and perceptions of the world around us.

Septiembre azul
Blue September
Septiembre azul
Blue September

Me tienes pensando
You got me thinking

Y perder los estribos
And loose my temper
Te acuerdas
Do you remember

No hace tanto tiempo
Not so long ago

El verano interminable mmm
The endless summer Mmm
Las noches brillantes están terminando
Bright nights are ending
Ahora se está acercando
Now it's closing in

Pero yo sigo aqui
But I'm still here

Sintiendo el fuego ardiendo
Feeling the fire burning
Mis huesos están fríos pero
My bones are cold but

El mundo esta girando
The world is turning

Recubierto de azúcar
Sugarcoated
Recuerdos
Memories

De los días perdidos
Of long lost days

Volando alto en fantasías
Flying high on fantasies

De formas misteriosas Mmm
In mysterious ways Mmm
