Miracle
Ghost Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart is in the basement
I can't get over it.
I never wanted to work for pieces of paper
But I guess that's all I get
Oh oh oh, oh oh-oo
I wanna win in this world but its pushing me out,
Oh oh oh, oh oh-oo
Ah! it's a miracle
Even if it's in my head
Ah! like a miracle
I'm in love again
Everybody get out
We can't stand underwater
Can't seem to touch the ground
Your modern tongue
Keeps talking it over
But it doesn't make a sound
Oh oh oh, oh oh-oo
What you gonna say to me now? I'm calling you out,
Oh oh oh, oh oh-oo
'cause I was born in this house and I'm burning it down
Ah! it's a miracle
Even if it's in my head
Ah! like a miracle
I'm in love again
Ah! it's a miracle
Even if it's in my head
Ah! like a miracle
I'm in love again
The opening lines of the song suggest a sense of defeat and despair. The singer's heart is in the basement every time he gets up, which may indicate a feeling of discouragement and a lack of motivation to face the day ahead. The following lines express dissatisfaction with the idea of working for money and the realization that money seems to be the only thing he will ever receive. The repetitive "oh oh oh's" in the chorus alongside "I wanna win in this world" denote a strong desire to succeed and attain fulfilment in life, yet the world seems to be conspiring against him.
The second verse highlights a sense of suffocation, as if the singer is drowning and unable to grasp the surface. It mentions "modern tongues" that don't make a sound, which may refer to the feelings of isolation and lack of understanding that come from living in a world where communication is largely digital. The phrase "calling you out" suggests that the singer is ready to confront a particular person or group of people, standing up for himself and pushing back against the forces that hold him back. The repeated "ah! it's a miracle" serves to infuse hope and positivity into the lyrics, affirming that despite the hardships, the singer is still capable of finding love and joy in his life.
Overall, "Miracle" by Ghost Beach touches upon themes of dissatisfaction, ambition, and hope. The lyrics point towards a desire for something more substantial than the monetary rewards of work and the need to confront the barriers that prevent individuals from achieving their goals. By emphasizing the miracle of love, the song suggests that connection and happiness can be found even amidst adversity.
