La-la-la-la
Flirting with death in the sense, but blessed nevertheless
The second best in the sense, I stand up to the test
Real in the flesh, standing straight and I'm sponsored by faith
I separate from the fake in the specialest way
It's a mistake if you wait for me another day
I say the prayers for the sake of destruction away
Me at the gate, beyond pain, in a natural place
Summertime blood, wash your hands, shake the lights on
We not really on the same level, we some icons
If the shoe fits, neon lights, see the signs on
Summertime tears, green cemetery sights on
You ain't gotta figure me out or what I'm on
Baby, I'ma take you all the way, check the flight zone
Carry me along, go faster
Go faster
Go faster
Go faster
Carry me along, go faster
I close come no shame, no matters
Little crystal, find compassion
Let's go play this game like it matters
Wait for my sense back in fashion
Nowadays, everywhere I look, I see patterns
Carousel, carry me along, go faster
Afterlife, living happily ever after
Looking back, right back down at me, no answers
I know it's no use
I know it's no use to resist you
Summertime blood, wash your hands, shake the lights on
We not really on the same level, we some icons
If the shoe fits, neon lights, see the signs on
Summertime tears, green cemetery sights on
You ain't gotta figure me out or what I'm on
Baby, I'ma take you all the way, check the flight zone
Carry me along, go faster
Forever drain by the way
Go faster
It's a mistake if you wait
Go faster
I say a praise for the sake
Go faster
Carry me along, go faster
I close come no shame, no matters
Little crystal, find compassion
Let's go play this game like it matters
Wait for my sense back in fashion
Nowadays, everywhere I look, I see patterns
Carousel, carry me along, go faster
Afterlife, livin' happily ever after
Looking back, right back down at me, no answers
"Summertime bLood" is a song by Swedish rapper Yung Lean, which was released on his fourth studio album, "Stranger," in 2017. The song features slow, dreamy beats with haunting and introspective lyrics, as Yung Lean grapples with themes like death, spirituality, and authenticity.
In the first verse, Yung Lean acknowledges his flirtation with death, but affirms his belief in his own authenticity and faith. He sees himself as standing above those who are fake or insincere in their lives. In the chorus, Yung Lean sings about the symbolism of blood and tears during the summertime, which represents a time of heightened emotion and intensity. He also references the flight zone, perhaps alluding to a drug-induced state or transcendental experience.
Throughout the song, Yung Lean grapples with existential questions and the mysteries of life, expressing a sense of confusion and longing for answers. He acknowledges that patterns exist everywhere but feels powerless to uncover their meaning, as he is carried along like a passenger on a carousel. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with Yung Lean still searching for answers and feeling powerless to resist the forces that govern his life.

It's summer, wash away the bad and celebrate with lights

I am on a different level than others, an icon

If it's right for me, it will be illuminated and clear
Summertime tears, green cemetery sights on
In the summer, I reflect on those who have passed away
You ain't gotta figure me out or what I'm on
You don't need to understand me or my plans

Wait for my sense back in fashion
I am waiting for the right timing and situation
Nowadays, everywhere I look, I see patterns
I notice patterns and repetition in my daily life
Carousel, carry me along, go faster
Life is a carousel, spinning and moving quickly
Afterlife, livin' happily ever after
I hope for a happy afterlife
Looking back, right back down at me, no answers
When I reflect, I find no clear answers
I know it's no use
I understand that there may be no solution
I know it's no use to resist you
It's futile to try and fight against fate
