The song’s title “Dear Azrael” can be read as “Dear Death”, as Azrael is the Angel of Death in many religions. In the song SUMMER ALONE is detailing the feelings someone struggling with mental health and substance abuse may feel. The feeling of needing help, but not receiving it from anyone and the only solution being drugs. He mentions that “Azrael been watching” meaning he knows he is not far from death, and that the drugs will bring him there.
