[Verse 1] I peel the winter version away. The haunting ghosts are not allowed to stay. Their shadows are no longer my walls. I watch them vanish as their slime rolls. [Pre-Chorus] O Summer, vast and merciless sun— You who make the mountains hum, You who crack the stone with heat, And burn the shadows off my feet. I do not flinch, I do not hide, I let you carve new me inside. CHORUS: I am the heat, the heat is me, A creature born of the sun and sea. No poison in marrow, no fear in the blood, I move through the light like a seasonal flood. [Verse 2] I take the wheel, the metal, the glass, My spider-shell let kilometers pass. Eight eyes watching, strong, steady, fast, The phantom tandem is now in the past. I claim the road, I drive alone— The throne I sit on is my own. [Bridge, the first line is in German] _Halt die Klappe_, I say to the dread, A sharp German slap to the ghosts in my head. Old versions are dead. The work is done. I'm going to make it by the power of one. [Chorus] [Outro] I am shedding. I am wide. I am new. The heat has changed me where the changes were due.
