Long Beach
Bethany Curve Lyrics

in my life when nothing's sure inside my head. The phrase "getting that time" suggests that the singer is reaching a certain age where existential confusion is common. The theme of uncertainty is echoed in the second line which points out that life seems to be stagnant. The third and fourth lines share a metaphor, comparing the feeling of being stagnant to sand, which can "keep me warm inside." This could suggest that even though life seems stuck, the singer is using it as a form of comfort.

The second stanza introduces the idea that the singer needs something stronger to help combat this sense of stagnancy. The sand image is continued with "sand sleepers," which implies that the singer is in a type of slumber, waiting for something to awaken them. The phrase "there's a way" suggests that the singer has not lost all hope in life getting better. However, the last two lines of this stanza seem to suggest that this malaise is causing the singer to lose their grip on sanity.

The final stanza begins with an enigmatic reference to "ancient light," which could suggest something mystical. Despite that, the singer seems satisfied, and in contrast to earlier lines, they express that their truth needs to see something real. The line "Take inside / Meets this wake" is also somewhat cryptic, but the vivid imagery of "our glands" and the word "resting" create a sensual atmosphere that fits the song's dreamy soundscape.
