The sun is shining
On the sea
Heaven isn’t far from here
Got some friends
Here with me
Dozing off yeah

On the beach

Its so hot I’m not getting up yall
Chilling out lie about
On the beach
Just a little cool breeze on my skin
I’m off into dreamland all day

Lazy ,laidback down on the beach
Oh yeah oh yeah
Here everybody’s living carefree
Oh yeah oh yeah
Tell me what more do you need
When ya lazy laidback down on the beach

What we do is close
To nothing
Just staring at the sky
And breathing it in
My hand in the sand
Getting a tain
I’m so loving it

On the beach
Its so hot I’m not getting up yall
Chilling out lie about
On the beach

Just a little cool breeze on my skin
I’m off into dreamland all day

Overall Meaning

The song "On The Beach" by Hadise is a perfect summer anthem. It has a laid-back and carefree vibe, with the sun shining on the sea and heaven not far away. The opening line sets the scene for a perfect day on the beach, with friends by the side and the option to doze off without a worry in the world.

The lyrics talk about how there is nothing much to do on the beach, but that is what makes it so special. Just staring at the sky and breathing in the fresh air is enough. The physical description of the hand in the sand getting a tan is a perfect depiction of how relaxed and content one is on the beach. The chorus highlights the feeling of being lazy, laid back, carefree, and chilling out on the beach. It's a great escape from the daily routine and responsibilities of life to get lost in the moment, away from everything.
