Berenstein
The Band CAMINO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blatant misconceptions that you made
My overall perception of this dream
Is that I'll die before I wake
At another place in time
You were infinitely mine
Relatively alright
At another place in time
Only parallel to mine
The universe was alright
When Berenstein was fine
You were always certain that it did exist
Imagination so intrinsic all at stake
All the things we said when we were younger
Did it bend or did I break?
At another place in time
You were infinitely mine
Relatively alright
When Berenstein was fine
At another place in time
Only parallel to mine
The universe was alright
When Berenstein was fine
Wait for me, wait for me there
I'll die if you die, wait for me I swear
Wait for me I'm still somewhere
You're getting older and I'm getting scared
Wait for me, wait for me there
I'll die if you die, wait for me I swear
Wait for me I'm still somewhere
You're getting older without me, I'm scared
At another place in time
You were infinitely mine
Relatively alright
When Berenstein was fine
At another place in time
Only parallel to mine
The universe was alright
When Berenstein was fine
At another place in time
Only parallel to mine
The universe was alright
When Berenstein was fine
The Band CAMINO's song Berenstein is a contemplative ballad about the fleeting nature of youth and the inevitability of change. The lyrics delve into the idea of alternate realities and the questioning of one's past memories. The opening lines, "You were always searching for deliverance, blatant misconceptions that you made," suggest a search for something unattainable and the struggle to differentiate reality from one's own imagination. The singer's perception of life is bleak, as they state, "My overall perception of this dream is that I'll die before I wake." This line could be interpreted as a realization that life is fleeting and that the singer may not accomplish all they want to before their time is up.
The chorus of the song explores the idea of different realities and the uncertainty of whether one made the right choices. "At another place in time, you were infinitely mine, relatively alright when Berenstein was fine" suggests that the past was once perfect but has now been distorted somehow. The lines "Only parallel to mine, the universe was alright when Berenstein was fine" reinforce this idea of alternate realities and how one's perception of the world is ever-changing. The bridge of the song features a plea to wait for the singer and their fears of mortality and not being able to share life with the person they are addressing.

Lyric correction:
"two steps forward, one step back and
it wont be long til my heart attack, yup!
and common sense falls second place
to the way it feels when you kiss my face, yup!"
