"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.

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,...
