Sparkles
Beau Dermott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caught in a never-ending game
Seems like the world Is always trying to tame me
I've got a heart that won't obey. And it's a struggle every day.

I keep dreaming of somewhere That's close to the ocean.
Run away to gather with The world in our hands.
Build us a fort That can never be broken.
Call it our own Neverland, Let's make it a plan.

We don't know tomorrow, Let's live for today
Don't care how far, Let's go now while we're brave
Climb every mountain And live for the chase
Then shine bright, Sparkle the night
With all that I find with you.

It feels much better on the edge
There's no time to think We've got so much to do.
Memories we won't forget
Save it for the days when we're blue.

I keep dreaming of somewhere That's close to the ocean.
Run away to gather with. The world in our hands.
Build us a fort That can never be broken.
Call it our own Neverland, Let's make it a plan.

We don't know tomorrow, Let's live for today
Don't care how far, Let's go now while we're brave
Climb every mountain And live for the chase
Then shine bright, Sparkle the night
With all that I find with you.

Now we can find, only share
The world needs to see it all, too
A place to forget all your fears
So happy that I did it all with you

We don't know tomorrow, Let's live for today
Don't care how far, Let's go now while we're brave
Climb every mountain And live for the chase
Then shine bright, Sparkle the night

We don't know forever So, let's seize the day
Don't care how far Or how long it might take
Climb every mountain And live for the chase




Then shine bright, Sparkle the night.
With all that I find with you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beau Dermott's song "Sparkles" describe the longing for freedom and adventure, and the struggle to break free from the daily routine and transcend the limitations imposed by society. The singer feels trapped in a never-ending game that tries to tame them, but they have an uncontrollable heart that rebels against it. The solution is to daydream about a place close to the ocean, where it would be possible to escape and build a fort that cannot be broken, a Neverland where they can live free and happy.


The chorus urges to live for today, to take risks and climb every mountain, to never give up and strive for the chase, and to sparkle the night with all that is found with someone special. The edge is where it feels much better, where there is no time to think, and memories are made that will last forever. The dream of building a fort close to the ocean is repeated in the second verse, now with the added theme of sharing it with the rest of the world, and forgetting all fears.


The lyrics of "Sparkles" are a call for adventure, for breaking free from the ordinary and embracing life's uncertainty. They are imbued with a childlike sense of wonder and imagination, but also with the courage to face challenges and chase dreams.

Your version of 'Defying Gravity' had me in tears. As a father of 4, I can only imagine just how proud your parents are. Amazing talent, embrace it wisely and I wish you all of life's success!

I can NOT believe anyone could not like this lovely girl. Beau Dermott is one of the very best says Decca Records

@AnteroSports

Let me preface this by noting that I have met Beau's brother and father and that the Dermott family is truly an inspiring family... I return to this video often to be reminded of Beau's father, Ian, and how much he cared for his daughter... This is truly a very (very) remarkable - once in a generation - voice and talent and I will be in the audience for her first performance in the US... "We don't know tomorrow, let's live for today..." Good luck to you Beau, you have moved millions with your voice.

@maggielongo7067

Is she coming to the US to perform? That would be so fantastic because she is amazing
