Beach Baby
Miracle Fortress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm to give him what's mine.
He wasn't meant to walk with men
(doctors brought him round again).
To all the troubles in this home.
It'll haunt my every bone,
Force me through the great unknown.
With a different name,
In a different place,
And a different way,
Living different days.
With a rifle to stay,
A rifle to go.
Find a fire to tend,
And a martyr to mend.
Find a body to bend
In a million ways,
'til the thrill of a million
Has faded away.
With the birth of a child
Comes the end of an age,
Like turning a phrase,
That erases a rage.
The lyrics of "Beach Baby" by Miracle Fortress tell a story about a parent who is faced with the difficulties of raising a sick child. The baby is teething, and the parent is tasked with providing comfort and support to their child while also dealing with their own fears and uncertainties. The parent speaks of the baby's ability to provide a cure to all the troubles in their home, but this cure comes with a heavy burden. The parent is haunted by the possibility of the great unknown and the challenges that come with it.
The lyrics then shift to talk about the idea of starting anew in a different place and living different days. The lyrics mention a rifle, which can be interpreted as a symbol of protection or defense, and a fire to tend. These lyrics suggest a new beginning with a fresh start, but also the need for hard work and effort to maintain and protect what has been built. The lyrics then mention finding a martyr to mend, which could be interpreted as finding someone willing to sacrifice themselves for a greater cause.
The last part of the song talks about the birth of a child bringing about the end of an age and erasing a rage. This part of the song suggests that the birth of a child can bring about significant change and new beginnings. The lyrics emphasize the idea of transformation and finding new ways to navigate life's challenges while looking towards a brighter future.

My baby's teething in the den,
My newborn child is cutting teeth in our living room
And I'm to give him what's mine.
I am offering myself as nourishment for my baby
He wasn't meant to walk with men
My baby is just a child and was never meant to face grown-up problems
(doctors brought him round again).
Medical professionals saved my child's life when he was in danger
In his eyes there is a cure,
My baby has a healing power to make everything at home better
To all the troubles in this home.
With his eyes, he can alleviate all the issues that cause problems here
It'll haunt my every bone,
His existence will remain with me forever
Force me through the great unknown.
My baby will challenge me as I navigate life's uncertainties
With a different name,
If situations were different
In a different place,
In some other location
And a different way,
In a way which differs from this life
Living different days.
Living my life in a completely different manner
With a rifle to stay,
If I need protection
A rifle to go.
If I need a change of scenery
Find a fire to tend,
Discover a passion that brings joy and fulfillment
And a martyr to mend.
Help someone who is suffering or sacrificing for a greater cause
Find a body to bend
Engage in physical activity or touch someone else's life
In a million ways,
In countless ways
'til the thrill of a million
Until the excitement of many
Has faded away.
Has subsided
With the birth of a child
Having a baby in the family
Comes the end of an age,
The end of a period or era
Like turning a phrase,
Just like the act of phrasing something differently
That erases a rage.
It could erase anxiety or anger.
