Walk in the Park
BEDROOM - Beach House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you don't need anything
The hand that you sometimes hold
Doesn't do anything
The face that you see in the door
Isn't standing there anymore
In a matter of time
In and out of my life
You would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
The face that you saw in the door
Isn't looking at you anymore
The name that you call in its place
Isn't waiting for your embrace
The world that you love to behold
Cannot hold you
Anymore
In a matter of time
It would slip from my mind
In and out of my life
You would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
More, you want more
More, you want more
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me, more
The lyrics of "Walk in the Park" by Beach House capture a sense of emotional detachment and longing for something more. The song begins with the singer describing someone going for a walk in the park, seemingly independent and self-sufficient. They don't need anything or anyone in their life, as indicated by the line "The hand that you sometimes hold, doesn't do anything." This suggests that the relationship or connection the person had before is now lacking meaning or purpose.
The lyrics further reveal a sense of loss and change when referring to the face that used to be seen in the door but is no longer present. The person has become distant and the familiar, comforting presence they once provided has vanished. The name that was called out with anticipation is now replaced by emptiness as it no longer waits for the embrace. The world around, which used to bring joy and fulfillment, is now incapable of providing the same level of satisfaction.
The repeated phrase "In a matter of time, it would slip from my mind" reflects the transient nature of relationships and emotions. The singer recognizes that with time, the memories and emotions associated with this person will fade away. This highlights the ephemeral nature of human connections and the inevitability of moving on.
The final section of the lyrics introduces the concept of wanting more but being unable to attain it. The repetition of the phrase "More, you want more, you tell me" suggests a desire for something beyond what is currently experienced. However, the concluding line "More, only time can run me" implies that time alone has the power to change and shape our desires. The singer understands that they cannot force or control the desire for more; it is something that will naturally evolve over time.
Overall, "Walk in the Park" explores themes of detachment, fleeting connections, and the yearning for something beyond the present. It reflects on the transience of relationships and emotions, acknowledging that time will eventually diminish their significance.
