Saved By Summer
This lyric is inspired by 'Emo Girl' - MGK, Willow Smith, Blink-182's 'What's My Age Again?', and just the nostalgia of old skl teenage rock songs e.g. 'Teenage Dirtbag' - Wheatus, 'Crashed The Wedding' - Busted, 'Last Resort' - Papa Roach, and a lot of McFly songs.
As much as I loved the RnB / Hip Hop genres, these 'Rocky' styles of mysic made up a lot of my childhood and I am saddened that many artists of the 2020s generation, do not make these styles of rock songs anymore.
'Saved By Summer' is for the emo kids; the ones who felt misunderstood growing up, but also those who took more of a rebellious turn later in life...I wrote this song for you!
It is about a melancholy experience of life, with 'Summer' being both a literal season and a personification of a love interest 'saving' the protagonist/artist from the gloom of their personal life/school life.
On a positive note, Summer signifies the emergence of Holiday, Romance, ice cream, and fun. A sweet escape or escapade! Contrastingly, on a more darker note, in this song, 'Summer' could also symbolise death/suicide (with themes of "the ocean" and references to not being able to "float"), 'freeing' the protagonist/artist from the stresses/stressers of life. Ultimately, the song ends reassuring the protagonist/viewer/listener that they do not have to live in gloom, as "Summer's always in sight..." Freedom and hope are the end goals!
It's emo, it's foreboding, but it's also cathartic.
(It is written from the male perspective but feel free to change/amend the genders to your liking/preference e.g. "He"/"She" etc, but you must keep the overall song in first person).
Genres: Rock / Rap / Indie.

[Verse 1]
I like warm swims in the Maldives
I like wet surfing in Bali
I like when ice cream is melting
I like when the year ends and it's onto Spring!
Please don't! I don't wanna hear another thought
No more algebra and cold custard - shitty uniform
I'm onto better things thanks to Summer
The time I spend with her will never be forgotten
[Pre-Chorus]
She said:
"Hey lil' boy don't you cry
This year's gonna be a bumpy ride
Miss Lana doesn't understand
The cool kids always end up dead."
I said:
"Detention just isn't part of my style
I play loud music and like to hide my smile
Motorcycle my way back home
Curfew on the clock; emo truck - better hide."
[Chorus]
Oh, there might be a murderer inside
But at least my Summer's in sight!
Ohhh, Summer's in sight (x3)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Summer's in sight!
[Verse 2]
I'm like, "Hey baby, your whistle sounds so sweet!"
Birds chirping and the breeze touching our feet
Popping beers by the beach, yeah that's my bitch
Let's get married; although we're young, let's get hitched
Say, say, say you love me, why don't you?
Bumping rides, 'kini lines, getting naked by the ocean
Getting high, whilst we die, baby we're forever young
Time passing by, forgetting I'm not in a love song
[Pre-Chorus]
She said:
"Hey lil' boy don't you cry
This year's gonna be a bumpy ride
Miss Lana doesn't understand
The cool kids always end up dead."
I said:
"Detention just isn't part of my style
I play loud music and like to hide my smile
Motorcycle my way back home
Curfew on the clock; emo truck - better hide."
[Chorus]
Oh, there might be a murderer inside
But at least my Summer's in sight!
Ohhh, Summer's in sight (x3)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Summer's in sight!
[Verse 3]
That's right, Sum-Sum-Summer will save me
Popping pills in my room whilst my parents sleep
I'm a wreck, nobody in class understands
That the cool kids always end up dead!
Will Summer's sun revive me?
