Beached
Angelo Badalamenti & Orbital (Long Version) Lyrics

Trust me
Have faith in my words, I am confident in what I am about to reveal.

It's Paradise
This place is perfect and exactly what we have been searching for.

This is where the hungry come to feed
Only those who are yearning for something new and exciting come to this place.

For mine is a generation that circles the globe in search of something we haven't tried before
The people of my generation are constantly traveling and exploring in the hopes of finding new experiences.

so never refuse an invitation
Always accept an opportunity to try something new.

never resist the unfamiliar
Do not turn away from something that is unknown to you.

never fail to be polite
Always be respectful and courteous to those around you.

and never outstay your welcome
Do not overstay your visit.

just keep your mind open and
Stay receptive to new experiences and ideas.

suck in the experience
Fully immerse yourself in the experience and take everything in.

and if it hurts
If the experience is painful or uncomfortable,

you know what... it's probably worth it
it is still worth pursuing for the sake of broadening your horizons.

you hope, and you dream
You have aspirations and desires.

but you never believe that
However, you lack the conviction to believe that these desires will truly manifest.

something is going to happen for you
That an opportunity will arise solely for you.

not like it does in the movies
But, it will be different from how it is depicted in movies or other forms of media.

and when it actually does
If such an opportunity does present itself,

you expect it to feel different
It will feel inexplicably unique and extraordinary.

more visceral
Something will be felt or experienced intensively, as if in your very core.

more real
This feeling and experience will be authentic and true to life.

i was waiting for it to hit me
I anticipated feeling this way, but did not know when or where it would happen.

i still believe in paradise
I still believe in the possibility of finding this perfect place or experience.

but now at least i know it's not some place you can look for
However, I realize that this paradise is not a physical location that can be sought out.

cause it's not where you go
It is not about the destination,

it's how you feel for a moment in your life
But rather, it is about how you feel in a singular moment of your life.

and if you find that moment it lasts forever
If you finally experience this moment, its impact will be everlasting.

it lasts forever
This moment will remain with you indefinitely.

lasts forever
It will continue to endure in your memories and emotions.

(fade out)
The song softly fades out after making its point about how one can experience paradise.
