Beatsteaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While others have fun
Trying to grab what they can
So I lie in the grass
I had too much too fast
But the best of all times waiting out
The days go by and waters run dry
It's calling me, call me any time
It's coming up each and every line
Keep calling me, call me any time
Here is the song for those
Who never ever sit back and recover
Here is the one for those who never shiver
The cool cats I adore
Some people wear gloves
Carrying their portions of love
Until death comes from above
Now for dreams and for plans
You try as hard as you land
But I've made up my mind
"Milk & Honey" by Beatsteaks is a song that acknowledges the different ways in which people navigate life. The opening lines indicate the varying approaches people take to pursue happiness, some choose to run while others opt for a more relaxed approach, simply lying in the grass. The lyrics also address the pitfalls of overindulgence, the enjoyment of life's best moments, and the inevitability of time. The chorus, "It's calling me, call me any time, It's coming up each and every line, Keep calling me, call me any time," is an invitation to the audience that states that the song is for those who refuse to sit back and recover, the cool cats the artist adores.
The song celebrates people who wear their hearts on their sleeves and the journey towards the life they desire. "Some people wear gloves, Carrying their portions of love, Until death comes from above, Now for dreams and for plans, You try as hard as you land," this line discusses the cautious nature of some people who take calculated risks to ensure they achieve their goals.
In summary, "Milk & Honey" by Beatsteaks is a call to action for dreamers, people who take risks and choose to make the most of life's opportunities as they journey towards their desired outcomes.
Line by Line Meaning
Some people may run
Some people tend to avoid challenges
While others have fun
While some individuals enjoy every moment they live
Trying to grab what they can
Desperately attempting to get as much as possible from life
So I lie in the grass
I choose to take a break and relax
I had too much too fast
I have been going too hard too quickly
But the best of all times waiting out
The best moments are worth waiting for
The days go by and waters run dry
Time passes by and opportunities fade away
But I've made up my mind
I have decided what I want and nothing can change my mind
It's calling me, call me any time
The thing I desire is something that attracts me constantly
It's coming up each and every line
The thing I need will come to me eventually
Keep calling me, call me any time
The thing I am seeking is something I will never stop pursuing
Here is the song for those
This is a track for individuals
Who never ever sit back and recover
Who never slow down and take a break
Here is the one for those who never shiver
This is a track for the brave who face challenges head-on
The cool cats I adore
I admire individuals who stay cool under pressure
Some people wear gloves
Some people are hesitant to get their hands dirty
Carrying their portions of love
They hold on to their affections carefully
Until death comes from above
Until the end of their lives
Now for dreams and for plans
It is time to focus on goals and aspirations
You try as hard as you land
You will have to work hard to succeed
But I've made up my mind
I am determined to stick to my decisions.

@abtimus
well the problem is the music market! so
much shitty music gets promoted and timeless music from all over the world doesn‘t get played because they are pushed away by stupid producers who dictate that the masses will not listen to it or that it is not marketable even if it is great music
