Beautiful Child
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were angry
For being tied up to our lives
We always mourned
As the days passed by
We were shatterd
And we guided
The great unknown
And no more run and hide x2
We were heartless
We were in need
We thought life life is just that way
We were searching for love in the dead of night
We couldn't see it
Couldn't find it
Wouldn't get it anyway
Another rock
And we feel out of mind
Get in your car and drive
Into the the fading light of day
Find the living boy
Someone to take your breath away
Beautiful child
Take the ride into the light of day
Beautiful child
No one else is gonna give you away
Beautiful child x4
Beautiful child
Beautiful child
Beautiful child
Beautiful child
The song "Beautiful Child" by Dave Pearce talks about the struggles of loneliness and anger that many people face in their lives. The lyrics suggest that people often feel tied up to their lives and mourn as the days pass by. However, they are also guided by the calling of the wild and the great unknown. The song suggests that people should stop running and hiding and should face their fears instead.
The lyrics then talk about how people often become heartless and desperately search for love in the dead of night. They cannot find love and feel like they are going out of their minds. The song suggests that people should instead find someone who takes their breath away and experience the beauty of life. The song is ultimately about finding hope and beauty in life, even when things seem bleak.
