Morning
LIVING ROOM - Beck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looked up this morning, saw the roses full of thorns
Guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go
Oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below
Can we start it all over again, this morning?
I lost all my defenses, this morning
Won't you show me the way it used to be?
I've gone all around 'til there's nothing left to say
Wrote it all down into something that couldn't be said
I tore it all down and buried me underneath the wave
Can we start it all over again, this morning?
I let down my defenses, this morning
It was just you and me, this morning
I fought all my guesses, this morning
Won't you show me the way it could've been?
In Morning by Beck, the lyrics describe waking up to a love light in a storm and seeing roses with thorns. This can be interpreted as finding beauty and love amidst chaos and pain. The line "guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go" suggests a vision of disarmament and a desire for peace. The image of "oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below" highlights the beauty and grandeur of nature.
The lyrics then pose a question, "can we start it all over again, this morning?" This could be interpreted as a desire to begin anew, to shed old habits and defenses, and to find a way back to a simpler, more pure state. The lines "I've gone all around 'til there's nothing left to say" suggest a sense of weariness and hopelessness, but the lyrics don't dwell on these feelings. Instead, they offer a glimmer of hope, with the repeated refrain of "this morning" signaling a fresh start.
Overall, Morning is a song about finding hope in difficult times, and seeking a way back to a more peaceful, authentic existence. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and may resonate with listeners who are seeking meaning and purpose in their lives.

Verse 1]:
Woke up this morning
Found a love light in the storm
Looked up this morning
Saw the roses full of thorns
Mountains are falling
They don't have nowhere to go
Oceans of diamond
Always shines from your glow
[Hook 1]:
But can we start it all over again?
This morning
I've lost all my defenses
This morning
Won't you show me the way
It used to be?
[Verse 2]:
I've gone all around
'Til there's nothing left to say
We've worn it all down
Into something that couldn't be said
Yeah, tie it all down
And bury me underneath the waves
[Hook 2]:
But can we start it all over again?
This morning
I let down my defenses
This morning
It was just you and me
This morning
I've run all out of guesses
This morning
Won't you show me the way
It could've been?

Sunrise doesn't last all morning,
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up
And has left you with no warning
But it's not always going
To be this grey
All things must pass,
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening,
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this my love is up
And must be leaving
It's not always going
To be this grey
All things must pass,
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays at nighttime,
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
It's not always
Going to be this grey
Big Daddy
Drive to the night
Far as it goes
Away from the daylight
Into the afterglow
Somewhere unforgiven
Time will wait for you
Down on the street
Just let the engine run
'Til there's nothing left
Except the damage done
Somewhere unforgiven
I will wait for you
Somewhere unforgiven
Time will wait for you
Somewhere unforgiven
I will wait for you.
Love these stupid lyrics

Woke up this morning
From a long night in the storm
Looked up this morning
Saw the roses full of thorns
Mountains are falling
They don’t have nowhere to go
The ocean’s a diamond
That only shines when you’re alone
Can we star it all over again?
This morning
I lost all my defenses
This morning
Won’t you show me the way it used to be?
We’ve gone all around
Till there’s nothing left to say
We wore it all down
Into something that couldn’t be saved
We tore it all down
And buried me underneath the weight
Can we star it all over again?
This morning
I let down my defenses
This morning
It was just you and me
This morning
I’ve run all out guesses
This morning
Won’t you show me the way could have been
