Brighton Beach
Télépopmusik Feat. Angela McCluskey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were just half friends
Occupying the light
Sometimes Brighton Beach
Sometimes half awake
I thought we shared this song
Till I heard you give the line
To another girl with a sparkle in her eyes
Why can't you go find yourself
And make me want to know you
Why can't you go find yourself
And make me want to show you

Oh, I listen to your stories
I smile when you take a break
But the dark is working overtime
Can you just see me melt
What are we thinking here
Pretending we're so close




Think we're something special
Well I'm giving up the ghost

Overall Meaning

The song "Brighton Beach" by Télépopmusik Feat. Angela McCluskey is a melancholic reflection on a relationship that was once a close friendship, but has now become emotionally distant. The singer describes how they used to be "half friends," spending time together on Brighton Beach or in a state of half-awakeness. They thought they shared a connection, but they realize that the other person has moved on and is now giving their attention to someone else. The singer is frustrated with the other person's lack of effort in the relationship and wonders why they can't try harder to connect with them.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and sadness as the singer reflects on what could have been. They listen to the other person's stories and pretend to be close, but they know that they are just going through the motions. The line "the dark is working overtime" suggests that there is something ominous lurking beneath the surface of their relationship, and the singer feels themselves melting under the weight of unacknowledged emotions. Ultimately, they decide to give up on the ghost of their friendship and move on.

I did it today, I made myself say

And I take back my tears, my sight, my love

No more does your magic work


On my heart

No more will your words ever tear me apart



I know now for certain

Nothing's burning anymore



And I came strolling alone

Like your perfect girl in your perfect song

You'll forget who fixed you, in a little while



I know for certain

There's nothing burning anymore

I know now forever

Nothing's burning anymore

And I take back my tears, my sight, my love
No more does your magic work
On my heart
No more will your words ever tear me apart

I know now for certain
Nothing's burning anymore

And I came strolling alone
Like your perfect girl in your perfect song
You'll forget who fixed you, in a little while

I know for certain
There's nothing burning anymore
I know now forever
Nothing's burning anymore

When a telepopmusik song starts you can tell if this woman will be singing it or not. And I love it.
