Beam Me Up
Bellamy Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a parallel universe
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me
Could you beam me up
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say and
Happy just to be there
Holding your face
Beam me up
Let me be lighter
I'm tired of being a fighter
I think a minute's enough
Just beam me up
Saw a black bird soaring in the sky
Barely a breath, I caught one last sight
Tell me that's you saying goodbye
There are times I feel the shivering cold
It only happens when I'm on my own
That's how you tell me I'm not alone
Could you beam me up
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say and,
And I'd probably just stare
Happy just to be there
Holding your face
Beam me up
Let me be lighter
I'm tired of being a fighter
I think a minute's enough
Just beam me up
In my head I see your baby blues
I hear you voice and I
I break into an outburst
Wanna be with you
So when I need you can I send you a sign
I'll burn a candle and turn out the lights
I'll pick a star and I'll watch you shine
Just beam me up
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say and,
And I'd probably just stare
Happy just to be there
Holding your face
Beam me up
Let me be lighter
I'm tired of being a fighter
I think a minute's enough
Just beam me up
Beam me up
Beam me up
Oh beam me up

Line by Line Meaning
There's a whole 'nother conversation going on
There's a different situation or world where things are different
In a parallel universe
In a world that is separate from our reality
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts
Where everything is perfect and no harm is done
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
There's a beautiful moment that is stopped in its tracks forever
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
Innocent and carefree moments that are enjoyable to watch
I look at you and you're looking at me
We are observing each other and enjoying each other's presence
Could you beam me up
Can I be taken away from this moment and transported to another world
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say and
I need some time to think about what I want to communicate
And I'd probably just stare
I would be so transfixed and captivated that I wouldn't know what to do
Happy just to be there
Content just to be present and in the moment
Holding your face
Touching your face in a moment of affection and love
Let me be lighter
Relieve me from my current burdens and heaviness
I'm tired of being a fighter
I'm exhausted from constantly having to struggle and overcome obstacles
I think a minute's enough
I only need a short time to be transported to another world
Saw a black bird soaring in the sky
Observed a bird gracefully flying through the air
Barely a breath, I caught one last sight
I barely had a chance to see the bird before it disappeared
Tell me that's you saying goodbye
I imagine the bird is actually a person I care about who is saying goodbye
There are times I feel the shivering cold
I experience moments of intense loneliness and isolation
It only happens when I'm on my own
I feel this way when I am alone and not with others
That's how you tell me I'm not alone
I believe that this feeling of loneliness is a sign from my loved one that they are with me
In my head I see your baby blues
I imagine your beautiful blue eyes in my thoughts
I hear you voice and I
I can hear your voice clearly in my mind
I break into an outburst
I can't contain my emotions and they bubble up and spill out of me
Wanna be with you
I crave your presence and being close to you
So when I need you can I send you a sign
Can I communicate with you through some sort of signal when I need you the most
I'll burn a candle and turn out the lights
I'll create a special moment to connect with you in a peaceful way
I'll pick a star and I'll watch you shine
I'll choose a star and imagine you as the light shining brightly
Beam me up
Take me away from this moment and transport me to a new reality
Beam me up
Reinforce my desire to be transported to another world
Beam me up
A final plea to be removed from the current reality and taken to a new, perfect one
