Geronimo
The Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm dead and gone
I was alive but the feeling has gone
Wish I can feel again
I'm on my own
Just throwing stones in to the water
But they don't know how to float
Wish I could breathe again
and the space don't feel the same
I was looking down
And she said my love could change
What are you waiting for?
She looks in my eyes
Felt like the first time
I saw a sunrise
Said what you waiting for
She let the fire burn
As the world turns
She said don't let go
I said Geronimo
She's in my bones
It's in the air
It's in her stare
I try to touch it
As I watch it disappear
Are you really here?
Cause I don't know
If I can go
Such a long time without
Seeing you again
Do you remember when?
I was in the ground
and the space don't feel the same
I was looking down
And she said my love could change
She looks in my eyes
Felt like the first time
I saw a sunrise
Said what you waiting for
She let the fire burn
As the world turns
She said don't let go
I said Geronimo
She's in my bones
I was living in the dark
Couldn't feel my heartbeat
I was living the dark
Til the light you gave me
I was looking down
And she said my love has changed
What are you waiting for?
She looks in my eyes
Felt like the first time
I saw a sunrise
Said what you waiting for
She let the fire burn
As the world turns
She said don't let go
I said Geronimo
She's in my bones
The song "Geronimo" by The Beach is a reflective piece about the challenges of losing feeling and then reconnecting with it again. The opening lines "Smoke in my lungs, I'm dead and gone, I was alive but the feeling has gone, wish I can feel again," paint a picture of despair as the singer struggles to come to terms with the loss of feeling. The next set of lines "Just throwing stones into the water, but they don't know how to float, wish I could breathe again," highlight the disconnect the singer feels as they throw stones into the water but are unable to feel the sense of buoyancy that typically comes with the activity.
As the song progresses, the tone begins to shift and the singer begins to feel a spark of hope as they reflect on a past love. The lyrics "She looks in my eyes, felt like the first time, I saw a sunrise, said what you waiting for, she let the fire burn, as the world turns, she said don't let go, I said Geronimo" showcase a moment of clarity and the decision to take a leap of faith towards love. The final lines of the song "I was looking down, and she said my love has changed, what are you waiting for?" leave the listener with a sense of optimism and the idea that love can indeed inspire us to feel again.

Smoke in my lungs
I feel like I'm suffocating and my soul is dying
I'm dead and gone
I feel like I lost my essence
I was alive but the feeling has gone
I exist but I don't feel like it
Wish I can feel again
I want to be emotionally alive again
I'm on my own
I am alone and lost
Just throwing stones in to the water
I am aimlessly wasting my time
But they don't know how to float
I fail at even the simplest things
Wish I could breathe again
I want to feel alive
I was in the ground
I was dead inside
and the space don't feel the same
everything is different now
I was looking down
I was contemplating suicide
And she said my love could change
Someone offered me hope and love
She looks in my eyes
I am connecting with someone
Felt like the first time
It is a new and innocent relationship
I saw a sunrise
it is a new day
Said what you waiting for
Take a risk and live!
She let the fire burn
She is passionate and free
As the world turns
The world is constantly changing
She said don't let go
Don't give up
I said Geronimo
I'm ready to jump in headfirst!
She's in my bones
I am completely captured by her
It's in the air
There is something intangible present
It's in her stare
I can feel her intense gaze
I try to touch it
I attempt to reach it but it's elusive
As I watch it disappear
As soon as I get close it vanishes
Are you really here?
Is any of this real?
Cause I don't know
I am full of doubt
If I can go
If I can continue on without you
Such a long time without
We've been apart for too long
Seeing you again
I need to see you to believe
I was living in the dark
I was trapped and isolated
Couldn't feel my heartbeat
I was indifferent to life
Til the light you gave me
Until I got close to you I couldn't feel anything
And she said my love has changed
Someone loved me despite my faults and it changed me
What are you waiting for?
Don't waste a moment, act now!

Smoke in my lungs
I’m dead and gone
I was alive but the feeling has gone
Wish I can feel again
I’m on my own
Just throwing stones in to the water
But they don’t know how to float
Wish I could breathe again
I was in the ground
and the space don’t feel the same
I was looking down
And she said my love could change
What are you waiting for?
She looks in my eyes
Felt like the first time
I saw a sunrise
Said what you waiting for
She let the fire burn
As the world turns
She said don’t let go
I said Geronimo
She’s in my bones
It’s in the air
It’s in her stare
I try to touch it
As I watch it disappear
Are you really here?
Cause I don’t know
If I can go
Such a long time without
Seeing you again
Do you remember when?
I was in the ground

I was living the dark
Til the light you gave me
I was looking down
And she said my love has changed
What are you waiting for?
She looks in my eyes
Felt like the first time
I saw a sunrise
Said what you waiting for
She let the fire burn
As the world turns
She said don’t let go
I said Geronimo
She’s in my bones
