About This Track

'August' traces the arc of a relationship that burned bright and then cooled into estrangement. The song dwells on sensory memory: sticky fingers, the sound of breathing, the taste of another person. These details anchor what might otherwise be a familiar lament about distance, making the loss feel specific and physical rather than abstract. The lyrics circle around a central paradox. The narrator has loved this person from the start, yet they've become strangers. Time has fractured them; the singer remains stuck in July whilst their former lover has moved on, embodied in the song's title as a month that belonged to both of them once. The refrain "we don't talk about it" suggests a deliberate silence, a choice to let the past stay buried rather than excavate it. What emerges is a portrait of two people who were close enough to know each other completely, then distant enough to forget that closeness ever existed.

"August" is a track by flipturn, from the album Citrona, released 19th April 2018. The track is 4:22 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about flipturn.

Lyrics

August

August, honey
Tasted sweeter with you
Sticky fingers
From your own residue

Do you remember?
You used to breathe so loud
Do you remember?
The taste, the sound
And it sounded so damn good
And it tastes just like it should

We don't talk about it
We don't have the time
We thought love was something
We weren't meant to find
But now you're a stranger
And I'm still July
But don't you remember
August, honey, you were mine

Well I've loved you from the start
And I've loved you from the start

We don't talk about it
We don't have the time
We thought love was something
We weren't meant to find
But now you're a stranger
And I'm still July
But don't you remember
August, honey, you were mine

Well, you were mine
And you were mine
Well, you were mine

We don't talk about it
We don't have the time
We thought love was something
We weren't meant to find
But now you're a stranger
And I'm still July
But don't you remember
August, honey, you were mine
