Juke/19 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, come on, come on, hurry up let's go
No more grind in the daily gruel
Draining the life out of me
No more work and no more rules
Only one place to be
I can't stand this place cause it's such a bore
I just got to escape get to the shore
Got the King on the radio
Gotta feel the sun on my back
Weekend's here and I'm ready to go
Never never gonna look back
On the beach, on the beach, on the beach
Got the King on the radio
Gotta feel the sun on my back
I know if I don't break out soon
Gonna have a heart attack
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
On the beach
In Juke/19's song "On The Beach," the lyrics speak about a desire to escape from the daily grind and find peace and solace by the sea. The opening lines "I know a place where we gotta go, baby come on, come on, hurry up let's go" hints at the level of urgency in the desire to escape. The lines "No more grind in the daily gruel, draining the life out of me, no more work and no more rules, only one place to be" emphasizes on the monotony of daily life, which is quite draining, and the need to break away from it all.
The chorus line "On the beach, on the beach, on the beach, I can't stand this place cause it's such a bore, I just got to escape and get to the shore" portrays the desire to escape from the present situation and find a place where the soul can be at peace. The idea of surfing culture has helped to make beach imagery all the more alluring. The lyrics continue with "Got the King on the radio, gotta feel the sun on my back, weekend's here and I'm ready to go, never gonna look back" evokes the feeling of freedom and excitement. The King on the radio refers to legendary rock 'n' roll icon Elvis Presley, while the sun represents both pleasure and adventure.
