Beach Baby
Iver Bon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're out
Tell your lucky one
To know that you'll leave
But you don't lock when you're fleeing
I'd like not hear keys

Only hold till your coffee warms
But don't hurry and speed

One a time put a tongue




In your ear on the beach
And you clutched kicking heels

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Beach Baby" by Iver Bon reflect a sense of longing, escape, and intimacy. The first verse seems to suggest that the singer is leaving someone behind, but not completely, as they warn their "lucky one" that they will leave but won't lock the door behind them. The line "I'd like not hear keys" could be interpreted as a desire to avoid being reminded of the physical act of leaving, or it could be a metaphor for not wanting to hear anything that might hold them back from their escape. The second verse paints a picture of a quiet morning on the beach, with the singer urging someone to take their time and savor the simple pleasures of life, like a warm cup of coffee. The final lines of the song suggest a moment of intense physical intimacy, with the singer and their partner entwined on the beach and kicking up sand.


Overall, "Beach Baby" seems to be a meditation on the desire for freedom and the importance of simple human connections. The music itself has a dreamlike quality, with its soft, swirling instrumentation and hushed vocals, adding to the sense of escape and longing.


Line by Line Meaning

When you're out
When you're not around


Tell your lucky one
Inform the person who's fortunate to have you


To know that you'll leave
Make it clear that you will depart


But you don't lock when you're fleeing
You don't bother to lock the door when you're making a quick exit


I'd like not hear keys
It's preferable not to hear keys jingling


Only hold till your coffee warms
Just embrace each other until your coffee reduces in temperature


But don't hurry and speed
Take your time, and don't rush things


One a time put a tongue
One at a time, put your tongue in each other's mouth


In your ear on the beach
On the beach, whisper something steamy in your partner's ear


And you clutched kicking heels
You hold each other tightly, flailing your legs and feet in excitement

When you're out
Tell your lucky one
To know that you'll leave
Don't you lock when you're fleeing
I'd like not to hear keys

Only hold till your coffee warms
But don't hurry and speed

Once a time, put a tongue
In your ear on the beach
And you clutched kicking heels

You found the words to describe this feeling. I've been searching for them for years. Thank you.

Every memory my ex left that I forget sprouts when specific Bon iver songs play. It reminds me more of the good than what it all fell to.

That secret that you knew
But you don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head


Unfathomable - until now
