Beacon
Ry x Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berlin in the cold
All that fighting, all that snow
Sober nights
And Byron on my mind
Tell me I'm not going home
And I'll stop waiting by the phone
Bedroom floor
And silence in my blood
Sorry love I'm running home
I'm a child of sun and the stars I love
The song "Beacon" by Ry x portrays a story of leaving behind a life full of chaos and struggling to find inner peace. The opening line "come down love" seems to be an invitation to a lover or a friend to join him in Berlin, but the next line "Berlin in the cold" suggests that the city is in the midst of the winter season, indicating a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. The line "all that fighting, all that snow" creates an image of someone who is struggling to cope with the challenges of life.
In the next verse, the lyrics "sober nights and Byron on my mind" suggest that the person is trying to escape reality and find solace in the works of the famous poet Lord Byron. The phrase "tell me I'm not going home" suggests that the person is searching for spiritual enlightenment and is hesitant to return to his mundane life. The lyrics "and I'll stop waiting by the phone" further implies that he is tired of waiting for a sign or a call that would bring him back to his old life.
The chorus "bedroom floor and silence in my blood, sorry love I'm running home" signifies the artist's desire to leave behind the noise and the chaos of the world and return to his true self, symbolized by his "home." The final line "I'm a child of the sun and the stars I love" indicates that the person has found his peace and happiness in understanding the vast universe and his place in it.

My mind falls into your mind
I fall into your mind’s eye
Fall into divine
Love love
Fall into my side
Slide, crawl into the shades of light
Crawl into the night
Climb wild one
Hold onto your wine
Wild one, beacon of a god a divine
Leads into your thighs
Bleeds into my heart design

Just discovered this year in 2021....I honestly feel like it was meant to be this way... I was really starting to spend way too long on social media everyday...stressing about the world going to shit...filling up with a lot of negativity energy and fear.....until one night, in the beginning of summer, I bought some lights to hang out on my porch, and after spending a couple hours cleaning and decorating while listening to music. When it was finished I told myself to sit enjoy the moment....kids were all asleep, the temperature outside was perfect...so I searched YouTube for some relaxing music and found Ry x....I listened to a full live concert in total relaxation....I haven't felt that peaceful and calm in a long time....and I'm soooo happy to say, I no longer spend days feeling stressed, wasting life away on social media!
