Beach
San -Cisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting, watching you all night
I don't know why
In the morning
I'll be waking wishing I was right
Maybe sometimes
In the evening I'll take you out for dinner and a fight
We watched the sun go down and then the moon comes out
Paint pictures with your hand
I'll chase you
I'm your biggest fan
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
My mind is black and blue
It keeps pictures of you
Now I know why
You moved away from here
To another hemisphere
All I want to be is in your company
I made a mixtape
With all the songs that you hate
Can't read your mind I give up this time
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
I heard your voice today
But we last spoke in may
I still miss you
Now you're a ghost at sea
Drifting peacefully
You'll never come back to me
I read your eulogy
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
Running so far away so far away
The lyrics to San-Cisco's song "Beach" tell a story of unrequited love and longing, with the singer pining after someone they cannot have. The song begins with the singer observing the object of their affection from afar, acknowledging their own confusion about their feelings. They imagine a scenario where they take this person out for dinner, but it is clear that they cannot read their mind and do not know if their feelings are reciprocated.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the person the singer is singing about has moved away and is no longer a part of their life. The feelings of love and longing have intensified, with the singer keeping "pictures" of this person in their "black and blue" mind. They have even made a mixtape of songs that they know their love interest dislikes, suggesting that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to gain their attention.
In the final verse of the song, the singer reveals that their love interest has died and they have attended their funeral. This revelation adds a layer of tragedy to the song, as the person the singer loved is now lost to them forever. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Beach" are a powerful exploration of the pain of unrequited love and the overwhelming sadness of a relationship that is never meant to be.
