Alien Ant Farm

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you finally fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling's dead

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds

[Chorus](x2)
Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

[Verse 2]
So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be all right

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it's so hard
[Chorus] (x2)
Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

[Refrain]
And it's so hard to get out of bed (x3)
She's impossible to get out of your head

Tried to give you summer (x3)
Tried to give you something

[Outro]
Wish I could make you spring
Wish I could make you spring
Wish I could make you spring, spring time
Wish I could make you spring, spring
Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter, yeah
Wish I could make you spring, spring time
Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you springEmbed

If you're a fan of pop-punk, then chances are you've come across Alien Ant Farm at one point or another. Their hit song "Movies" was a staple on alternative radio stations in the early 2000s, but did you know they also have a track called "Summer"?

About Summer

First released on their album "Always and Forever" in 2015, "Summer" is a fast-paced, upbeat song that's perfect for blasting on a hot day. The song features lead singer Dryden Mitchell's signature nasally vocals and catchy guitar riffs that are reminiscent of the early 2000s pop-punk scene.

Lyrically, "Summer" is a song about living in the moment. The chorus repeats the line "Summer's gonna kick your ass," which can be interpreted as a nod to the carefree, anything-goes attitude that often comes with the season. The song encourages listeners to let loose and have fun, even if it means getting a little reckless.

In the verses, Mitchell sings about driving around with friends, staying out late, and chasing down adventure. The lyrics paint a picture of summertime shenanigans, complete with fireworks, sunsets, and laughter.

One of the standout features of "Summer" is its driving beat. The song builds momentum throughout the verses before exploding into a high-energy chorus that's impossible not to shout along to. The guitar solo towards the end of the track is particularly noteworthy, showcasing the band's musical talents and adding an extra layer of excitement to the song.

While "Summer" may not have achieved the same level of mainstream success as "Movies," it's still a beloved track by Alien Ant Farm fans. The song perfectly captures the spirit of summer and serves as a reminder to live life to the fullest.

In today's world, where we're constantly bombarded with news and stressors, it's important to take a step back and appreciate the little things. "Summer" is a perfect reminder of that, and it's no wonder why the song has become a fan favorite over the years.

So next time you're driving around with friends, windows rolled down, let this song be the soundtrack to your carefree summer adventures.
