Wild Nothing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ????
We're driving to your parents' house just for a visit and I'm sleeping in your brother's bed
Won't you sneak into my room and climb under the covers talk nonsense in your sleep
You ????
And I can't wait to let you in
We're driving to your parents' house just for a visit and I'm sleeping in your brother's bed
You've got some charm I must admit
Don't let me wreck myself again
Driving to your parents' house just for a visit and I'm sleeping in your brother's bed
Won't you sneak into my room and climb under the covers talk nonsense in your sleep
The lyrics of Wild Nothing's "Summer Holiday" describe a summer fling between two people as they drive to visit the singer's partner's parents. The singer is clearly enamored with their partner, speaking to their "charm" and expressing that they "can't resist" them. The specificity of the detail, such as sleeping in the partner's brother's bed, suggests that this is a genuine memory for the singer, and that this fling is based in reality rather than just fantasy.
The repeated refrain of "driving to your parents' house just for a visit" highlights the sense of adventure and spontaneity that is present in the relationship. There is a sense of recklessness as well, as the singer acknowledges that their partner has the power to "wreck" them, and yet they can't wait to "let [them] in" and continue the relationship. The final lines of the song, where the singer asks their partner to "sneak into [their] room" and "talk nonsense in [their] sleep", is both sweet and playful, adding a youthful energy to the depiction of this summertime romance.
Overall, Summer Holiday conveys a sense of youthful passion and romantic spontaneity, urging listeners to embrace the adventurous spirit of summer and all the possibilities it brings.
