Beautiful Day
Jamaram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You're lovin' this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
The song "Beautiful Day" by Jamaram begins with a metaphorical statement that compares the heart to a bloom that shoots up through the stony ground. The lyrics suggest that there's no room or space to rent in the town, indicating a sense of disillusionment or isolation. The traffic is stuck, and the person feels like they are not moving anywhere. They thought they had found a friend who could take them out of this place, someone who they could help in return for some kindness.
The chorus of the song speaks of a beautiful day that shouldn't be allowed to get away. Even though the person has no destination and is lost in the maze of their imagination, they love this town, and it has been all over them. They go on to describe various sights and experiences, including seeing the world in green and blue, China right in front of them, canyons broken by clouds, and oil fields at first light.
The song suggests that what you don't have, you don't need now, and what you don't know, you can feel somehow. The lyrics end on a positive note, reminding listeners that it was a beautiful day, and even if they are lost, they can still hope for a better future.
Line by Line Meaning
The heart is a bloom
Love is a growing and resilient feeling
Shoots up through the stony ground
Love can grow in harsh conditions
There's no room
There is no space for love in this town
No space to rent in this town
Love cannot be bought or rented
You're out of luck
You have no luck in finding love
And the reason that you had to care
The reason you care is because you seek love
The traffic is stuck
Life's hardships can make finding love more difficult
And you're not moving anywhere
You feel stuck in life without love
You thought you'd found a friend
You hoped to find love in a friend
To take you out of this place
To lead you to a happier life with love
Someone you could lend a hand
Someone who could help you find love
In return for grace
In return for your kindness and love
It's a beautiful day
Life can be beautiful with love and hope
Sky falls, you feel like
Even in the face of tragedy, you can find happiness with love
Don't let it get away
Don't let love slip away from you
You're on the road
You are moving forward in life
But you've got no destination
You don't know where you're going in life
You're in the mud
You are facing struggles in life
In the maze of her imagination
In the confusion of your own thoughts and emotions
You're lovin' this town
You find happiness and love in this place
Even if that doesn't ring true
Even if it's not completely accurate
You've been all over
You've travelled and experienced many things in life
And it's been all over you
The experiences you've had are a part of you
Touch me
The need for human connection and touch
Take me to that other place
The desire for something new and exciting in life
Teach me
The desire to learn and grow in life
I know I'm not a hopeless case
I know I can find love and happiness in life
See the world in green and blue
Seeing the world with wonder and appreciation
See China right in front of you
The world is full of diverse and amazing cultures
See the canyons broken by cloud
The beauty of nature and the power of change
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
The impact humans have on the world and its inhabitants
See the Bedouin fires at night
The richness of human culture and diversity
See the oil fields at first light and
The impact of human industry on the world
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
The beauty and resilience of nature
After the flood all the colors came out
Even after hardship, beauty and hope can emerge
What you don't have you don't need it now
Material things are not the key to happiness
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
The mysteries of life can still bring joy and fulfillment
Don't need it now
Focus on what's truly important in life
