From Above
The Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because sometimes waht you see ain´t right
But if you wait
And if you wait
But I can feel it in my heart
And I can taste it in my mouth but I just want you to know
That I´m not tired I´m not losing sleep take me to that place that we love
Take me to that place from above
Somebody told me to slow it down
Because sometimes what you see ain't right it ain't right
But if you wait
And if you wait
But I can feel it in my heart
and I can taste it in my mouth but I just want you to know
Cos I'm not tired I'm not losing sleep take me to that place that we love
I'm not tired I'm not holding on
Take me to that place from above
So let me out because I'm not lost no I'm not broken up inside
So let me out because I'm not broken anymore
And I can't find the peace of mind so let me out once I'm inside
See I'm not lost
No I'm not broken
No I'm not broken
Until we fall apart
But if you wait
And if you wait
But I can feel it in my heart
And I can taste it in my mouth but I just want you to know
That I'm not tired I'm not losing sleep take me to that place that we love
I'm not tired I'm not holding on
Take me to that place from above
The lyrics in "From Above" by The Beach deal with someone who is seeking to be taken to a place they love and a place from above where they can find solace and peace. The singer acknowledges that someone has told them to slow down because sometimes what they see isn't right, but they insist that they can feel it in their heart and taste it in their mouth. This suggests that the singer has a strong feeling about this place they want to go to, and there might be some urgency in getting there.
The repetition of "But if you wait, and if you wait" could be interpreted in different ways. It could be an acknowledgment of the advice to slow down and wait for things to become clearer or the singer might be encouraging the listener to wait for them and be patient until they reach the place they seek.
The chorus of the song reinforces the fact that the singer is not tired or losing sleep, but they need to be taken to that place that they love, indicating that this place could be a source of comfort or happiness for them. The lines "Let me out because I'm not lost, no, I'm not broken up inside" could indicate that the place from above is a metaphorical or a physical representation of their innermost happiness and peace.
