Empty Streets
Ghost Beach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a woman she's as cold as a stone
and she hides in the shadows of an empty road
I tried to breake her but she couldn't be broke
And we walked together on this empty road
But
I need a lover not just another not another
Not just somebody to spend the night
You want my reasons I couldn't tell you
And if I did it wouldn't ease your mind
I need a heartbeat to keep me loving
Pretty girls born in the 90's
They don't know much of '85
They're alive, I'm barely breathing
Want to remember what that feels like
I need a lover not just another
Not just somebody to spend the night
Don't need an answer don't need a reason
Things goin' pop baby that's alright
I need a heartbeat to keep me loving
Walking on empty streets
(I give them)
Walking on empty streets
Cuz they're filled with the faces of people I'll never meet
I'll rn through the valleys
Between buildings and concrete
All I hear are the echoes
Where there once was a heartbeat
Beat 3x
I need a heartbeat to keep me loving




Walking on empty streets
End

Overall Meaning

Ghost Beach's song "Empty Streets" is a song about loneliness and the desire for a meaningful connection. The first verse describes a woman who is emotionally unavailable and unable to be broken down. The singer is walking with her on an empty road but realizes that he needs more than just her company, he needs a lover who can truly connect with him on a deeper level.


The chorus emphasizes this desire for a deeper connection as the singer sings about needing a heartbeat to keep him loving. He compares himself to the younger generation born in the 90s who do not have the same level of nostalgia and experience as he does. He feels disconnected and barely alive, wishing to remember what it felt like to have a meaningful connection.


The bridge describes the emptiness of the streets as the singer runs through the urban landscape, hearing only the echoes of what once was a heartbeat. The song overall speaks to the universal desire for human connection and the longing to feel truly alive.
