Beatsteaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And change the tune so I let it go
What matters now is story soon
I get up, try my luck, it starts to call on me
Never sure how it feels so let it rain on me
In the meantime, you're in between time
And just for now, let me bury too
What is scaring you? Six feet underground
Got a whole bag of trouble to be taken away
And my veins keep throbbin' when I'm out on display
Couldn't this be the moment to discover my intentions?
Will you ever? May be never take me away to be closer
The lyrics of Beatsteaks's song "Meantime" reveal a powerful message about personal growth and self-discovery. The song encourages the listener to face their fears and overcome what they are running from. The offer to change the tune and let it go is a sign of the willingness to overcome obstacles and explore a new path. What matters most now is the story that unfolds from this decision and the chance to get up and try one's luck without fear.
The chorus "In the meantime, you're in between time" is a reflection of the anticipation and suspense present when one is on the verge of a significant life change. The momentary pause and waiting period as one prepares to take the leap is acknowledged.
The second verse's lyrics of the song continue the theme of confronting fear with the repetition of "What is scaring you?"; the fear is symbolized by being "six feet underground". The idea of "burrowing" the fear away and "taking away a whole bag of trouble" is expressed to emphasize the importance of confronting these emotions to move forward.
The overall message of Beatsteaks's song "Meantime" is clear in its lyrics. It's about seizing the moment and the willingness to face fear and uncertainty to achieve growth and success.
Line by Line Meaning
Watch me overcome what I'm running from
I'm trying to face my fears and deal with my problems rather than avoiding them
And change the tune so I let it go
I'm trying to change my perspective on things and let go of any negative emotions
What matters now is story soon
I need to focus on creating a better future story for myself
I get up, try my luck, it starts to call on me
I'm taking action and trying to improve my situation, and it's starting to work
Never sure how it feels so let it rain on me
I'm not always sure of my emotions, but I'm open to experiencing them and letting them pass
In the meantime, you're in between time
While I'm figuring things out, you're just sort of waiting around
What I care to see, lay you hands on me
I want you to touch me and show me that you care
And just for now, let me bury too
Let me forget my problems for a little while and enjoy the moment with you
What is scaring you? Six feet underground
What's ever scaring you or holding you back, let it go and bury it so it doesn't have power over you anymore
Got a whole bag of trouble to be taken away
I have a lot of problems and challenges to deal with, and I'm looking for a way to get rid of them
And my veins keep throbbin' when I'm out on display

Couldn't this be the moment to discover my intentions?
I'm hoping that this moment can help me better understand my goals and what I want in life
Will you ever? May be never take me away to be closer
I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to be together, but I hope that someday we can be closer and more connected

komisch wie alle den song gerne in unterschiedlichen situationen hören. ich finde den song unglaublich traurig, aber auch hoffnungsvoll. take me away to be closer, bei der stelle könnte ich immer weinen und gleichzeitig freudig durch die gegend tanzen. einfach nur ein geil.
