Walk in the Park
LIVING ROOM - Beach House Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

You go for a walk in the park
'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
It would slip from my mind
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

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Walk in the Park" by Beach House, the singer describes a sense of detachment and emptiness in their relationship. They start off by talking about going for a walk in the park, hinting that the simple act of being in nature is enough for them, suggesting a lack of materialistic desires. The hand they hold sometimes doesn't have any impact or significance, indicating a lack of emotional connection. The face they used to see in the door is no longer there, symbolizing the absence of someone who was once important to them.


As the song progresses, the singer reflects on how easily memories and relationships can fade with time. They acknowledge that the person who was once on their mind will eventually slip away, emphasizing the fleeting nature of relationships and the impermanence of emotions. The repetition of "In a matter of time" underscores the inevitability of this process and the acceptance that things will change and people will drift apart.


The lyrics continue to depict a sense of loss and disconnection as the singer realizes that the person they once knew is no longer the same. The name they used to call is now replaced, and the world they once loved cannot provide the same comfort or joy. This could suggest a feeling of disillusionment or disappointment in relationships and the inability of external factors to bring fulfillment.


The repeated refrain of "More, you want more" conveys a sense of longing and desire for something beyond what is currently experienced. The mention of time as the only factor that can guide them suggests a resignation to the passage of time and the changes it brings. The repetition of these lines could imply a cycle of wanting more but never quite finding satisfaction, highlighting the internal struggle for fulfillment and the external forces that can shape and alter relationships. Overall, the lyrics of "Walk in the Park" paint a picture of introspection, lost connections, and the transient nature of emotions and relationships.
