Earth
The Beans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Bean, bean, bean b-b-b-b-bean, b-b-bean)
I guess I'm feeling emo, listen to Brian Eno
You love your pillow too much, you love your pillow too much
I'm off this planet, we're over
I'm off this planet, we're over
I'm off this, off this, off this planet

This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths
Remember back when we were the four mosquitoes way before we were old?
Trust me, I don't make mistakes
Okay, well maybe I was off my medication yesterday
It's like I'm on vacation how I've been procrastinating
(As you're waiting, exasperating)
Remember that we're not dating
(Confident we'll always be friends)
You talk like I'm understanding
I might need some handholding
God, don't be so withholding

('tween you and me, 'tween you and me, 'tween you)
This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths
I keep it moving I can't stop to pick ('tween you and me) between this and that
Waiting on chances like you'll pull my name from a hat
I can't help thinking how we could have been, got me feeling bad
You caught my eye, I saw you smiling back through your mask
You always tell me that you like my nails, babe I like your head
You had me thinking like I couldn't fail with you as my friend
Everything needed you already have in the bag

This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths
I keep it moving I can't stop to pick between this and that
Waiting on chances like you'll pull my name from a hat
I can't help thinking how we could have been, got me feeling bad
You caught my eye, I saw you (Throw it away) smiling back through your mask
You always tell me that you like my nails, babe I like your head
You had me thinking like I couldn't fail with you as my friend
Everything needed you already have in the bag

This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths
(You say, huh, you said we need, we need to get)
I keep it moving I can't stop to pick between this and that
Waiting on chances like you'll pull my name from a hat
(We need to, we need to get together, sunny weather)
I can't help thinking how we could have been, got me feeling bad
(We need to get together)
You caught my eye, I saw you smiling back through your mask
(I need to be beneath your sweater)
You always tell me that you like my nails, babe I like your head
You had me thinking like I couldn't fail with you as my friend
(I need you and me, you and me, you and me together)
Everything needed you already have in the bag
(I need you and me, you and me, you and me together)

This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths
I keep it moving I can't stop to pick between this and that
(I'm sorry, my bad, my bad, my bad)
Waiting on chances like you'll pull my name from a hat
(Eat my dust, my dust, my dust)
I can't help thinking how we could have been, got me feeling bad
(My love, my love, my love)

(You caught my eye, I saw you)
Smiling back through your mask
You always tell me that you like my nails, babe I like your head
You had me feeling like I couldn't fail with you as my friend
Everything needed you already have in the bag

This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths
I keep it moving I can't stop to pick between this and that

Everything needed you already have in the bag
Everything needed

Overall Meaning

The Beans’ song Earth is a rather melancholic song about feeling lost and disconnected from reality. The lyrics depict the singer as someone who is struggling to cope with life and the current state of the world. The opening verse “I guess I’m feeling emo, listen to Brian Eno,” sets the tone for the overall moody and introspective mood of the song.


The lyrics appear to be written with a stream-of-consciousness style, juxtaposing conflicting feelings and thoughts. For example, in the line “You love your pillow too much, you love your pillow too much” the singer appears to be critical of someone who values comfort over adventure, while at the same time struggling with the same kind of apathy themselves as they sing “I keep it movin’, I can’t stop to pick between this and that.”


The chorus repeats the phrase “This simulation has me running fast, splitting paths” which can be interpreted as the singer feeling overwhelmed and lost in the fast-paced simulation of life. The song ends with the lyrics “Everything needed you already have in the bag” which implies that the singer feels like they are lacking something important but someone else already has it all together.

The source is Harvard as already stated. The primary sources are linked there.

Can you make your source precise. There is at least one error in your "citation" and I think you might also spelled the name wrong.

Furthermore I do not care what caveman ate. I don't do a lot of things caveman did. For example I intend to live longer.

Your "argument structure" seems to be based on the naturalistic fallacy.

Even if I were to accept "caveman did not eat grain" (which is demonstrably wrong if you look in the scientific literature) you could argue that based on that we should eat grain due to the lack of antagonistic plaiotrophy against it. So you can't just jump from "caveman did ..." to "we should ... for health".
So your whole basis for that argument is a fallacy. A gap in the argument.

Thank you, Dr. Greger! 🌞

@smallfootprint2961

If you're concerned about gluten... the only grains with gluten are wheat, rye, and barley. The wonder of quinoa, buckwheat, etc. Await. Don't give up. You can do just fine without those 3.

@SagaciousSix

Can I get that recipe? Looks delish!!

@robertrowan9893

Soaked and fermented in my case. Do them and your digestive system the justice it deserves.

@SticksBontop

I wish I was your digestive system 🙂 and I'm sure I would be happy if you eat these healthy plant-based foods!

@LAKSHMIANGELES

AND HOW DO YOU FERMENT THEM?
OF COURSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO B SOAKED OVERNIGHT.

@@LAKSHMIANGELES For one thing, I picked up this tip from another YouTuber - that being using filtered water and nothing more than a couple of acidophilus capsules. Open them up, sprinkle and stir.
We're forever told they're a waste of money, but instead using them to break down your food into a more digestible form is value for money to me.
