Walk in the Park
KITCHEN - Beach House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you don't need anything
The hand that you sometimes hold
Doesn't do anything
The face that you see in the door
Isn't standing there anymore
In a matter of time
In and out of my life
You would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
The face that you saw in the door
Isn't looking at you anymore
The name that you call in its place
Isn't waiting for your embrace
The world that you love to behold
Cannot hold you
Anymore
In a matter of time
It would slip from my mind
In and out of my life
You would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
More, you want more
More, you want more
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me, more
The lyrics to "Walk in the Park" by Beach House capture a sense of longing and the passage of time in a relationship. The song begins with the singer seeking solace in a walk in the park, finding comfort in the simplicity of nature and not needing anything else. However, the hand they sometimes hold does not provide any fulfillment. The face they used to see in the door is no longer present, indicating that someone they cared about has left their life.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that over time, memories of this person would fade away. They come to terms with the fact that this person, represented by the face they saw and the name they called, no longer holds the same significance for them. The world that once brought them joy cannot contain or satisfy them anymore.
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the desire for more, suggesting that despite the realization that the person no longer has a hold on them, there is still a longing for something beyond what they currently have. The phrase "only time can run me" implies that time will heal their wounds and allow them to move forward, suggesting the possibility of growth and new experiences.
Overall, "Walk in the Park" explores themes of change, loss, longing, and the passage of time in relationships. It portrays a sense of acceptance and the potential for personal growth despite the pain experienced.
