Beirut
Goshen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
are my love, my drug
The only one I trust
You picked me up when I was down
My heart's in Beirut, my heart's in Beirut
The lyrics of Goshen's song "Beirut" are a heartfelt tribute to the love that the singer shares with his partner. The singer describes his love as a drug that he cannot live without. He trusts his partner completely and feels that they are the only one who truly understands him. The song seems to describe a moment when the singer was feeling low, and his partner picked him up and gave him the strength to carry on. The chorus says that his heart is in Beirut, perhaps indicating that this city holds a special significance for the singer and his partner.
There are multiple possible interpretations of the mention of Beirut in the chorus. Beirut is the capital city of Lebanon and has been the site of many conflicts and political turmoil over the years. The city is often associated with destruction and chaos, and so the line "My heart's in Beirut" could suggest that the singer feels like his world has been turned upside down by the challenges that he and his partner have faced. Alternatively, Beirut could be a symbol of resilience and hope, as the city has survived numerous setbacks and continues to rebuild itself. In this context, the line "My heart's in Beirut" could mean that the singer's love has the power to overcome even the toughest obstacles.

You're on in five
It's time you rise
Or fade
They've gone before
Stood by your door
All day
For what it's worth
Defend your kind
From shame
The lights are down
Go on inside
They've paid
You're the face in stone
Through the land I own
You never found it home
You're not the girl I used to know
What would you hide from such a glow
If I had only told you so
You're on in five
It's time you rise
Or fade
They've gone before
Stood by your door
All day
But you never found it home
A Fair price I'd pay to be alone
What would you hide from such a glory?
If I had only told you so
