Wind Chimes
Beach Boys/Brian Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the warm breeze, the little bells tinkle like wind chimes.
Though it's hard, I try not to look at my wind chimes.
Now and then a tear rolls off my cheek.
Close your eyes and lean back and listen to wind chimes.
In the late afternoon, you're hung up on wind chimes.
Though it's hard, I try not to look at my wind chimes.
The lyrics of the song Wind Chimes by the Beach Boys evoke a sense of longing and sadness. The wind chimes hanging outside the singer's window serve as a reminder of something he or she has lost. The singer tries not to look at the wind chimes, perhaps because it causes too much pain, but still can't help being drawn to them. The soft tinkle of the chimes on the warm breeze creates a calming atmosphere, as if trying to soothe the pain of the singer.
The chorus invites the listener to join the singer in tuning out the world and letting the sound of the wind chimes take over. The late afternoon is the time when the singer is most hung up on the wind chimes, perhaps because it is a time of day that is associated with introspection and melancholy.
Overall, the lyrics of Wind Chimes are ambiguous and open to interpretation, which is typical of the Beach Boys' music. The sense of longing and melancholy in the song is balanced by the lovely imagery of the wind chimes and the soothing sound they create.
