Beverly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The things that we would talk about in the parking lot
Tonight I'm still a total wreck thinking 'bout you
Sometimes you catch a fish and you let it swim
Get back to where I'm going to with or without you
I thought if I was good enough you'd come with me
Somehow I can't get over it, instant replay
Oh Victoria why do you need them to adore you
When I love you
Oh Victoria why do you want them to adore you
I already
Last week I saw you out with the guys you work with
A sea of pastel all around in their polos
I know you've got a lot to say, they can't hear you
Phone it in with a smile by remote control
Oh Victoria why do you need them to adore you
When I love you
Oh Victoria why do you want them to adore you
I already
Sometimes you catch a fish and you let it swim
Oh Victoria why do you want them to adore you
When I love you
Oh Victoria why do you need them to adore you
I already
Oh Victoria say that you let me do it for you
I would always
I would always
In "Victoria," Beverly, the lead vocalist, opens up about a love that has not been reciprocated, questioning the reasons why the person they love feels the need to be adored by others. The lyrics introduce the character of Victoria, who may be an old acquaintance or lover from the past, but it is unclear whether Victoria feels the same way about Beverly. Beverly expresses their feelings through the lines, "Oh, Victoria, why do you need them to adore you when I love you?" The song goes back and forth between Beverly's desire to be with Victoria and the realization that they may never be together.
The imagery used in the song is poignant and emotional, with Beverly remembering the conversations they had with Victoria while in the parking lot. The line "sometimes you catch a fish and you let it swim" could be interpreted to mean that Beverly understands that sometimes letting go of something you love is the best thing to do. However, the larger message in the song is that Beverly hopes that Victoria will recognize the love they have for her and put an end to the need for external validation.

I know you don't remember me, I still think you do
Although you may not recall me, I believe you remember our past interactions
The things that we would talk about in the parking lot
Our conversations in the parking lot hold sentimental value
Tonight I'm still a total wreck thinking 'bout you
Your memory still haunts me and it's affecting me emotionally
Sometimes you catch a fish and you let it swim
Sometimes you have to let things go or move on
Get back to where I'm going to with or without you
I will continue on my path with or without your presence
I thought if I was good enough you'd come with me
I believed if I was good enough, you would want to be with me
Somehow I can't get over it, instant replay
I am still stuck on our past and can't seem to move on
All day inside my brain, strangers stare
I can't shake off the thoughts in my mind and outsiders judge me
Oh Victoria why do you need them to adore you
Why do you seek validation and adoration from others
When I love you
When my love for you is already present
Last week I saw you out with the guys you work with
Recently, I witnessed you hanging out with your colleagues
A sea of pastel all around in their polos
They all dressed alike, blending in with their neutral colored polo shirts
I know you've got a lot to say, they can't hear you
I'm aware you have opinions, but your coworkers don't listen
Phone it in with a smile by remote control
You pretend to be happy and interact with them from a distance
Oh Victoria say that you let me do it for you
Allow me to take care of you, Victoria
I would always
I will always be here for you

A track with twists and turns that flow properly, tight and strong.

The best song from an album full of great ones. Saw Beverly supporting We Are Scientists three years ago and been hooked ever since.
