Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't set his feet through starry skies
Dreams are sweet when they turn real
Dreams are sweet when they turn real
Oh, beautiful son, smiling light, good morning son
Sleep so deep, you wake up with a smile
Open your eyes, belly laugh, fill up my heart
Open your eyes, belly laugh, fill up my heart
Oh, beautiful son, smiling light, good morning son, sunshine
Peaking Lights's song "Beautiful Son" is a love song dedicated to the bandmembers' child. The lyrics capture the beauty and innocence of childhood and the wonder that comes with it. The opening line "My blueberry eyes full of love for life" paints a picture of the child's eyes glistening with excitement and curiosity about the world around them. The line "Can't set his feet through starry skies" suggests that the child's imagination is soaring and they might be dreaming of exploring the galaxies above.
The song goes on to describe the child's peaceful sleep, filled with dreams where they can chase floating fish through space and time. The child's laughter and smile bring immense joy to the parents, which is evident in the lines "Open your eyes, belly laugh, fill up my heart". The repetition of the phrase "Beautiful son, smiling light, good morning son" reinforces the love and adoration the parents have for their child.
