The Beat
Dan Le Sac/Scroobius Pip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment
Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount
A plan that I can implement
to make a dent on ignorance
Instead of drunk belligerence
and the dissidence of miscreants
with the never ending persistence
to use the words in each sentence
as if they were blunt instruments
to beat a hole in the defence
of this beauty and her innocence
which serves to just build resistance
in spite of all my good intents.
The beat that my heart skipped.
*This is the beat that my heart skipped.
*This is the beat that my heart skipped.
This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met
Now that I`ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret
No disrespect
We just left a lot of people upset
And what we had wasn`t really what we`d come to expect
Well good god damn and other such phrases
I haven`t heard a beat like this in ages
To miss such a beat would have been outrageous
But when you heart skips a beat its ruthless and aimless
She caught my attention in her fishnets
Then she reeled me in expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex
But that weren`t the case with this platinum princess
She`d attracted my interest
So I wanted to impress�.
Upon her all the positive things
That come form having more than just a one night fling
But that`s something easier in theory than in practice
Since pick up lines are tactics
To get prey to the mattress
And this actress
Is practiced
In shunning such theatrics
When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics
So my genuine advances are met with rue scepticism
Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them
Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom
God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them
But I really want to know what she thinks of me
Because I`m loving every idiosyncrasy
But I ain`t one to jump through hoops to make a 1st impression
Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons
We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are
*So I real selves hide behind the pomp and the façade
And that`s as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard
As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard
*This is the beat that my heart skipped.
*This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met
*Now that I`ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret
*No disrespect
*We just left a lot of people upset
*And what we had wasn`t really what we`d come to expect
*Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment
*Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount
*A plan that I can implement
*to make a dent on ignorance
*Instead of drunk belligerence
*and the dissidence of miscreants
*Especially in this instance
*with the never ending persistence

The song "The Beat" by Dan Le Sac/Scroobius Pip is a thought-provoking melody about the power of love and the empowerment that comes with it. The lyrics reflect on the hesitation and fear that can come with falling in love and the difficulty that comes with navigating relationships in a world where negativity and ignorance prevail. The beat that the singer's heart skipped when he first met his love represents the transformative power of love and hope in the face of adversity.
The songwriter reveals that he often needs to find empowerment when he is feeling weak and vulnerable. He acknowledges that empowerment is essential to building a plan that will combat ignorance, instead of using violence and stubbornness. The songwriter recognizes how his love interest has had an impact on him, teaching him the value of true love and the significance of finding someone special who accepts him for who he is. Throughout the song, he reflects on the obstacles that must be confronted when two people try to build a relationship, including shyness, fear of rejection, and the possibility of not living up to family expectations.
The song's lyrics explore themes of self-realization, growth, and transformation. It reveals the struggles we all face as we navigate the complexities of love, the importance of staying true to our own beliefs, and the need to seek empowerment to overcome fear, rejection, and negativity.

Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment
Sometimes I feel weak and need to find strength
Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount
Being strong is essential for me to start doing something
A plan that I can implement to make a dent on ignorance
I need a strategy to combat ignorance
Instead of drunk belligerence and the dissidence of miscreants
I don't want to resort to drunken aggression or the disagreement of troublemakers
Especially in this instance with the never ending persistence
This is especially important right now given the unrelenting persistence
To use the words in each sentence as if they were blunt instruments
To deliberately use language like a weapon
To beat a hole in the defence of this beauty and her innocence
To try to break down the defenses of a beautiful and innocent person
Which serves to just build resistance in spite of all my good intents
Which only serves to make her more resistant, despite my good intentions
This is the beat that my heart skipped
This is the feeling I had when I first met her
Now that I`ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret
Now that I've experienced it, I feel a sense of sorrow
No disrespect
I mean no offense
We just left a lot of people upset
Our relationship caused a lot of upset for others
And what we had wasn`t really what we`d come to expect
What we had wasn't what we thought it would be
