The Neighbourhood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, what would you say?
If I told you that I hated you
Would you go away?
Now I need your help with everything that I do
I don't want to lie, I've been relying on you
Fallin' again, I need a pick-me-up
I'm sick and I'm tired too
I can admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
I feel it burning you
I hope I don't murder me
I hope I don't burden you
If I do, I do
If I meet you in the middle maybe we could agree
You make me feel little how you're looking at me
And you can throw me shade, all it does is just cool me off
First it just threw me off, now I'm just moving on
Fallin' again, I need a pick-me-up
I've been callin' you friend, I might need to give it up
I'm sick and I'm tired too
I can admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
I feel it burning you
I hope I don't murder me
I hope I don't burden you
Swim with me
I think I could see the beach
I know what's underneath
I need you here with me
But we're out in the open
Swim with me
I think I could see the beach
Just don't look underneath us
I need you here with me but we're out in the open
I'm sick and I'm tired too
I can admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
I feel it burning you
I hope I don't murder me
I hope I don't burden you
If I do, I do
The lyrics of The Neighbourhoodβs song 'The Beach' seem to be about a complex relationship between two people. The opening lines seem to indicate that the singer is unsure of how the other person would react to them expressing either love or hate. They also admit that they rely heavily on the other personβs help in everything they do. The chorus features the singer admitting that they are struggling with some personal issues, and hoping that these issues wonβt affect their relationship with the other person.
The second verse features the singer attempting to find common ground with the other person, suggesting that they meet in the middle. They also acknowledge that the other person has been making them feel small, but that they feel like they need them to be there. The chorus is repeated again, with the singer admitting that they are not βfireproofβ and that they hope their problems wonβt affect the other person.
The line βswim with me, I think I could see the beachβ seems to be a metaphor for the singer wanting the other person to come with them on their journey of self-discovery. However, they acknowledge that they are βout in the openβ and vulnerable. The final chorus is repeated, with the singer hoping that they donβt burden the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of 'The Beach' seem to be about the complexities of relationships, and how we rely on other people to help us with our problems. The singer seems to be struggling with some personal issues, but they are hoping that these issues wonβt damage their relationship with the other person.
