Good Summer

Soolking's 'Good Summer' is a raw and introspective exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the quest for redemption. The song delves into the artist's journey through betrayal, pain, and the harsh realities of life in the streets. Soolking opens with a declaration of having mourned his feelings and the betrayals he has faced, indicating a significant emotional transformation. He speaks of being alone during chaotic times, accumulating pain and hatred, but ultimately drying his tears with money, symbolizing a shift from emotional to material solace.

The song is rich with cultural references, notably to Tupac Shakur, a symbol of resilience and defiance in the face of adversity. Soolking aligns himself with Tupac's 'thug life' ethos, emphasizing his enduring hunger for success and survival despite achieving wealth. This connection underscores the artist's understanding of street life, where violence and theft are commonplace, and no one is entirely innocent. The mention of collaborations with other artists and the imagery of diamonds on the walls of their studios highlight the contrast between their past struggles and current success.

Soolking's lyrics also reflect a sense of isolation and the need for self-reliance. He compares himself to a Persian knight, advancing alone through a desert, and expresses fear of the world while adhering to his father's advice to remain silent. The recurring theme of forgetting the past and expressing pain and hatred through music is evident in the chorus, where he finds solace in driving a German car, symbolizing a better life. The song concludes with a mix of farewell and defiance, wishing a 'good summer' in a tone that suggests both closure and a new beginning.
