Beached
Orbital & Angelo Badalamenti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Paradise
This is where the hungry come to feed
For mine is a generation that circles the globe
in search of something we haven't tried before
So never refuse an invitation
Never resist the unfamiliar
Never fail to be polite
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience
And if it hurts, you know what it's probably worth it
You hope and you dream
But you never believe that
something is going to happen for you
Not like it does in the movies
And when it actually does
You expect it to feel different
More visceral
More real
I was waiting for it to hit me
I still believe in paradise
But now at least i know it's not some place you can look for
'Cause it's not where you go
It's how you feel for a moment in your life
And if you find that moment, it lasts forever
It lasts forever
Lasts forever

The realization that paradise (the ultimate experience) cannot be found in a physical location
'Cause it's not where you go, It's how you feel for a moment in your life
The ultimate experience lies in the feeling one gets at a particular moment in life, rather than in a specific location
And if you find that moment, it lasts forever
The memory of that moment and the feeling it evokes remains eternal
It lasts forever
The impact of the ultimate experience endures for eternity

And if you find that moment
It will last forever"
