Die in the Summertime Lyrics
[Intro]
[Howls]
[Verse 1]
Scratch my leg with a rusty nail, sadly it heals
Colour my hair but the dye grows out
I can't seem to stay a fixed ideal
Childhood pictures redeem, clean and so serene
See myself without ruining lines
Whole days throwing sticks into streams
[Chorus]
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I wanna die
[Verse 2]
The hole in my life even stains the soil
My heart shrinks to barely a pulse
A tiny animal curled into a quarter circle
If you really care, wash the feet of a beggar
[Chorus]
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I wanna die
[Howls]
[Verse 1]
Scratch my leg with a rusty nail, sadly it heals
Colour my hair but the dye grows out
I can't seem to stay a fixed ideal
Childhood pictures redeem, clean and so serene
See myself without ruining lines
Whole days throwing sticks into streams
[Chorus]
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I wanna die
[Verse 2]
The hole in my life even stains the soil
My heart shrinks to barely a pulse
A tiny animal curled into a quarter circle
If you really care, wash the feet of a beggar
[Chorus]
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I wanna die
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I wanna die
[Chorus]
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I wanna die
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This is the 11th track of the Manic Street Preachers, of their album “The Holy Bible”
Written primarily by Richie Edwards (Which he wrote around 70-80% of the album around the time), many of the songs in the album dealt with the self-harm Richie was doing to himself at that time.
From what it seems this song seems to be about dying young so in order not do become old.
