Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Hey you, big star
Tell me when it's over (cloud)
Hey you, big mood, guide me to shelter
'Cause I'm through
When the two hits the six and it's summer (cloud)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think God is moving its tongue
There's no crowds in the street
And no sun
In my own summer
The shade is a tool, a device, a savior
See, I try and look up to the sky
But my eyes burn (cloud)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think God is moving its tongue
There's no crowd in the street
And no sun
In my own summer
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
Tell me when it's over (cloud)
Hey you, big mood, guide me to shelter
'Cause I'm through
When the two hits the six and it's summer (cloud)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think God is moving its tongue
There's no crowds in the street
And no sun
In my own summer
The shade is a tool, a device, a savior
See, I try and look up to the sky
But my eyes burn (cloud)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think God is moving its tongue
There's no crowd in the street
And no sun
In my own summer
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
"My Own Summer" is the perfect world in where no one cares to see everything and be out and a part of the normal society. They'd rather be in the dark, and they wouldn't care about the way a person looked because they wouldn't see them. Everyone would get to know the real person before they were judged. And they also wouldn't be a part of this fake happiness that the sun symbolizes. They would find their own happiness by just being themselves. And if they tried to "look up" (do their own thing, be happy with themselves and set goals, etc.) the sun wouldn't be there to "burn" them and say that that isn't what they're supposed to do, and that it isn't right. In summary I guess the summer, the perfect world is one where everyone is equal and can do whatever they want to without getting criticized for it. And by the way...I think when the two hits the six means (going back to the clock thing) 6:30. Two hands are on the "6". And what happens around 6:30 in the summer? The sun rises. That's when Chino says he is through, and he wants to find shelter. That's when "summer" starts. Makes sense doesn't it? Hope it wasn't too bad...
im not sure if this is correct but i heard that the two hitting six was representing 2:30, which isnt that the point where the sun is highest in the sky in summer?
I interpreted 2 hits the six as 2:30 - which could mean when the sun is the highest, or when school gets out, i.e. the beginning of summer vacation.
I think your interpretation is spot on, although your guess may be just as good as mine. But nevertheless, I can see the theme here. The summer is a time of revealing mostly because people wear less clothes and such, he uses this as an allegory for people judging off of school and summer in general. People judge heavily on appearance in the summer, during winter months and autumn, people are in school and mostly focusing on intellect. The act of looking up at the light may be those who attempt to change or embrace the light may get burned, such as the form of being ruined by the ridicule of the people by basking in the "light" or attention. Perhaps somebody stands too long in the sun to attempt to look better, instead they get burned? This is why he asks for "big mood; guide me to shelter" to escape the light and hide for the summer.
@Sage865711916 This is written about me :D I'm not the guy of regular people, I better be alone. not only the meaning. I hate sunny days a lot, like right now :c when it's sunny i feel like nauseated or something like that.
@SOADeftool, @oxysean, 2:30 is definitely not the point when the sun is highest in the sky. That is the definition of noon, or more precisely solar noon.
These Deftones songs can have a lot of meanings ...here's one of them : it makes me thing of a person closed in himself , constructing his own world : no crowds on the streets , no sun... pretty autistic :P
I love the line "God is moving its tongue", but I think he means that God is the one tormenting everyone w/the heat. And b/c God is so powerful, just a move of his tongue can cause torment throughout the world. In other words, God's not using much effort, yet Chino is experiencing the harsh consequences. Its kinda like God could just move his tongue and it could be earthquakes across the earth, he could move his finger, and devastate the masses.. something like that. I like that fact that he uses "its" too. It demonstrates a certain unknown about God. We don't know what God is really like contrary to existing religions.
Yeah, and the "its" gives a sense of the inhuman and alien nature of the god of the world depicted in this song.
I think when he says that god is moving its tongue, he means god is mocking him about the heat, perhaps by sticking his tongue out at him.
'no sun' in my own summer. The sun is oftenly associated with happiness, because light is. Darkness is associated with sadness. No sun means dark, which makes me kinda think of depression when he says 'no sun' in my own summer. I hate summer....
"i think God is moving it's tongue" it may mean tongue as "language"
like, he thinks God is changing his way of expressing like, the world seems different now, to Chino
what elephant?
I think that it's the rejection of god and the acceptance of a godless existence.
It's a Christ diss actually most of the band is wicca. they also diss the sun god minerva but they atone for it with minerva
I'm pretty sure this song is about albinism
