On The Beach
Freisig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yeah, yeah
Down on the beach
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yeah, yeah
Down on the beach
Yeah, down on the beach
On the beach, yeah, yeah
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach, yeah, yeah
Down on the beach
Yeah, down on the beach
On the beach, yeah, yeah
The song "On The Beach" by Freisig is essentially a love song, where the singer reminisces a lost love on a beach by the ocean. The first line, "Between the eyes of love I call your name", is a representation of the powerful hold love has on the singer, who is calling out to his former lover. However, the line "Behind the guarded walls I used to go" suggests that the relationship was guarded and not fully open to outsiders or even the singer's own emotions.
The song then shifts to memories of the beach, where the singer remembers a sweet melody on a summer wind that takes him back to the place he knows. The beach represents a safe space for the singer and his lover, where they created cherished moments that are now only memories. The line "No-one but you and I, underneath that moonlit sky" highlights the intimacy between the two lovers and the exclusivity of their relationship.
As the song progresses, the singer conveys a sense of longing for the past, and expresses his desire to relive those cherished moments. The lines "Forever in my dreams my heart will be, hanging onto this sweet memory" highlights that the memory of the lost love is etched in the mind of the singer and will live on within him. The song softly ends with the singer asking to be taken back to the place he knows, the beach, where he can relive his lost love and its memories.
