Paul & The Tall Trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't say I've found out
I can't tell you
What it's all about
Don't know who does
Tell you to

Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love

Oh, oh, oh
No, no, no
I must be wrong, baby, yeah

But I don't believe
That he's the one
But you insist
I must be wrong
I must be wrong

I have to leave
And when I'm gone
I'll leave my message
In my song, that's right

Beware, my love
Well, he'll bowl you over
Beware, my love
Before you're much older
Hey, he'll sweep you up
Under his carpet

You'd be in luck
If you could stop it
Come on, now
Beware, my love

Let me tell you
Well, he'll wear you out
And in a minute
You'll hear a shout
And then you'll be in it

So, so now beware my love
'Cause he'll take you under
Beware, my love
The sound of his thunder
Yeah!

I don't believe
That he's the one
But if you insist
I must be wrong
I must be wrong

But I have to leave
And when I'm gone
I'll leave my message
In my song, that's where I'm gonna leave it, baby

Come on
Beware, my love
Don't you know
He'll bowl you over
Beware, my love
Before you're much older

Yoah I'll be there
Oh, baby, beware
Beware, beware, my love
Yeah, any minute, oh

If I can stand it anymore
'Cause I'm just gonna say to you
My love, that you better be there

Can't say, I've found out
I tell you to
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love

Beware my love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Paul & The Tall Trees's song "Beware" are open to interpretation, but they seem to be a warning about a particular person. The singer expresses uncertainty about who this person is and what they are about, but they are convinced that their love interest needs to be aware of them. The repetition of the phrase "Beware my love" is almost like a chant, emphasizing the need for caution.


The second verse suggests that the love interest is insisting that the singer is wrong about this person, but the singer is sure that they are not. They say that they have to leave, but they will leave a message in their song. This could be seen as a farewell or a warning to their love interest.


The last verse repeats the warning to beware of this person, saying that they will "wear you out" and you'll "hear a shout" and then you'll be "in it." The repeated phrase "Beware my love" is now more urgent, and the song ends with a sense of impending danger.


Overall, the lyrics of "Beware" seem to be a cautionary tale about a person who is potentially dangerous or harmful. It's possible that the song is about an abusive or manipulative partner, but it could also be about a cult leader, a con artist, or any number of other situations where someone needs to be warned about another person.

I heard the instrumental and came here, was not expecting this kind of lyricism over the track. Great stuff, really went against expectation but I love that.
