Beloved
Vanguart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've never written a diamond under my door
I'm through this door
Sometimes it closes my eyes
Sometimes it comes on time
Some lies were hidden
Then flows the hat, then grows the red carpet
Wasn't ready to
Wasn't ready to be loved
By you
Almost a year ago, dreamin' alive
Pushing those pills around
I was dead, I was dead
Climbing that road
My grave is there
My eyes are swamp again
Wasn't ready to
Wasn't ready to be loved
By you
Wasn't ready to be loved
Wasn't ready to be loved
By you
The lyrics of Vanguart's song, "Beloved" seem to be cryptic and open to interpretation. The song starts with the line "Get on the turkish line" which seems to suggest the beginning of a journey. The next line, "You've never written a diamond under my door" might be alluding to a lack of love or affection from someone who is important in the singer's life.
The chorus, "Wasn't ready to, wasn't ready to be loved, by you" is repeated several times throughout the song, conveying the idea that the singer is not yet emotionally or mentally prepared to be loved by someone. The lyrics "Almost a year ago, dreamin' alive, pushing those pills around, I was dead, I was dead" indicate that the singer was maybe addicted to drugs and was going through a difficult time in their life.
The song may also deal with the themes of hiding emotions, telling lies, and the struggle to open up to someone. The line "sometimes it closes my eyes, sometimes it comes on time, some lies were hidden" may be interpreted as the struggle to face the truth and confront one's feelings.
Overall, "Beloved" is a song that explores the complexities of human emotions and relationships, and can be interpreted in different ways by different listeners.
Line by Line Meaning
Get on the turkish line
Take a chance and follow me into the unknown
You've never written a diamond under my door
You've never left me any valuable gifts or tokens of affection
I'm through this door
I'm beyond this point, I'm not looking back
Sometimes it closes my eyes
Sometimes I'm blinded by my own thoughts and feelings
Sometimes it comes on time
Sometimes things fall into place just as they should
Some lies were hidden
There were some things that were kept from me
The sun shines in the son's heart
The son is filled with warmth and love
Then flows the hat, then grows the red carpet
Ceremony and celebrations follow
Wasn't ready to
I wasn't prepared for
Wasn't ready to be loved
I didn't expect to be loved or cared for
By you
By the person who expressed those feelings towards me
Almost a year ago, dreamin' alive
I was living in a fantasy world almost a year ago
Pushing those pills around
I was living a destructive lifestyle
I was dead, I was dead
I felt emotionally and mentally dead
Climbing that road
I was struggling uphill
My grave is there
The path I took could have resulted in my demise
My eyes are swamp again
I feel like I'm trapped in a murky swamp once more
Wasn't ready to be loved
I didn't think I deserved to be loved
Wasn't ready to be loved
I didn't know how to handle love
By you
By you, the person who offered their love to me
