Beach
All Kings And Queens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mirage is like a stalker
I should push him off the cliffside
'Cause he's coloring my insides ocean blue
And everywhere I look, I look at you
It's true
Up in my imagination, I rehearse our conversations
And at least I'm never lonely
And there's no point in covering my eyes, even when I try
I hear your voice over and over
Sitting on the beach of Dover
What is happening? Oh, dear
I keep wishing you were here
And I swear, I'm gonna lose it
If I keep playing your music
But what else is there to do?
Everywhere I look I just see you
In my self made isolation,
You're my only inspiration
When the mirror says I'm ugly
And if anybody loves me, it's a lie
And right before I'm swallowed
By my mind and cursing at the sky
I hear your voice over and over
Sitting on the beach of Dover
What is happening? Oh, dear
I keep wishing you were here
And I swear, I'm gonna lose it
If I keep playing your music
But what else is there to do?
Everywhere I look, I just see you
It's deep red, my broken dream
My last breath, the king and queen
The world ends, it's you and me
In my head if we can be together
Maybe we'll live forever
Sand between my toes
I've got vertigo
I'm afraid of heights
If I could I'd cry
We've got incompatible star signs
I'm in love with you
What's the point in looking at the view?
'Cause every time I do
I just see you (I just see you)
It's deep red, my broken dream
My last breath, the king and queen
The world ends, it's you and me
In my head if we can be together
Maybe we'll live forever
I met your ghost, he followed me
Down to the coast of Dover Beach
I talk to you in poetry
You stole the view of Dover Beach
I met your ghost, he followed me
Down to the coast of Dover Beach
I scream at you in poetry
You stole the view of Dover Beach

Line by Line Meaning
On the coastline, in the water
In this environment of uncertainty and vulnerability
Your mirage is like a stalker
Your illusionary presence constantly haunts me
I should push him off the cliffside
I should let go of this false image and move on
'Cause he's coloring my insides ocean blue
Because he's affecting and overwhelming my emotions
And everywhere I look, I look at you
No matter where I turn, you're always on my mind
It's true
This feeling is undeniable
Up in my imagination, I rehearse our conversations
In the realm of my imagination, I practice our interactions
And at least I'm never lonely
At least I find solace in this fabricated companionship
Even though I know you're only in my mind
Even though I acknowledge that you're just a figment of my imagination
And there's no point in covering my eyes, even when I try
There's no use in denying or avoiding the truth
I hear your voice over and over
Your voice echoes incessantly in my mind
Sitting on the beach of Dover
In the solitude of Dover Beach
What is happening? Oh, dear
I am bewildered and concerned
I keep wishing you were here
I continuously long for your presence
And I swear, I'm gonna lose it
And I promise you, I'm on the verge of falling apart
If I keep playing your music
If I keep holding onto the memories of our connection
But what else is there to do?
But what other options do I have?
Everywhere I look I just see you
Your presence dominates my perception
In my self-made isolation
In the loneliness I have created for myself
You're my only inspiration
You're the sole source of my inspiration
When the mirror says I'm ugly
When my reflection tells me I'm unattractive
And if anybody loves me, it's a lie
And if anyone claims to love me, it feels deceitful
And right before I'm swallowed
And just as I'm about to be consumed
By my mind and cursing at the sky
By my own thoughts and expressing frustration towards the universe
It's deep red, my broken dream
It's intensely vivid, my shattered aspiration
My last breath, the king and queen
My final hope, the epitome of perfection
The world ends, it's you and me
Everything else becomes insignificant, only we remain
In my head if we can be together
In my imagination, if we can exist as a couple
Maybe we'll live forever
Perhaps our connection will transcend time
Sand between my toes
The sensation of sand beneath my feet
I've got vertigo
I feel dizzy and disoriented
I'm afraid of heights
I have a fear of being elevated or reaching new heights
If I could, I'd cry
If I were able, I would release my emotions through tears
We've got incompatible star signs
Our astrological signs are not compatible
I'm in love with you
I am deeply and passionately infatuated with you
What's the point in looking at the view?
Why bother admiring the scenery?
'Cause every time I do
Because every time I do
I just see you (I just see you)
I only see you, and nothing else
I met your ghost, he followed me
I encountered your lingering presence, it followed and haunted me
Down to the coast of Dover Beach
Right to the shores of Dover Beach
I talk to you in poetry
I express my thoughts to you through poetic language
You stole the view of Dover Beach
You took away the tranquility and beauty of Dover Beach
I scream at you in poetry
I express my frustration towards you in poetic form
You stole the view of Dover Beach
You took away the peacefulness and serenity of Dover Beach
