You'll find, things tend to stand in line
It's not a link in time
But, I'm sure you'll let me try
And I'm
Sitting on fire
So warm
We're waiting on pyres
Who lay their line, and say
"You're like my kind?"
You love the times I sang
"You're loss was mine"
Who lay their line and say
"You're like my kind?"
You love the times I sang
"You're loss was mine"
In your minds eye
In your-
In your minds eye
In your-
In your minds eye
In your-
And I'm
Sitting on fire
So warm
We're waiting on pyres
Who lay their line, and say
"You're like my kind?"
You love the times I sang
"You're loss was mine"
Who lay their line and say
"You're like my kind?"
You love the times I sang
"You're loss was mine"
The lyrics to Beirut's song "Gibraltar" are open to interpretation, but they seem to speak to the feeling of being in a state of uncertainty or danger, yet finding comfort in the warmth of a relationship. The singer acknowledges that things may not always be easy ("Everything should be fine/You'll find, things tend to stand in line") but still wants to try to find a way forward. The line "Sitting on fire" could suggest that the singer is experiencing intense emotion or passion, while the reference to "pyres" could imply a sense of impending danger or destruction.
The chorus seems to address the idea of feeling a strong connection with someone, even when circumstances are difficult. The repeated line "Who lay their line and say 'you're like my kind?'" could refer to finding a kindred spirit or someone who understands you, while "You love the times I sang/You're loss was mine" could signify a deep connection through shared experiences, whether positive or negative. The line "In your minds eye" is repeated several times and may suggest a sense of introspection or imagination, perhaps reflecting on memories or fantasies.
