Beautiful Day
X-Perience Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its years since you've been leaving
The places we were born
I wake up I am receiving
A sign of your return
You gave me one good reason
To wait until you come
I'm waiting and I'm dreaming
We're drowning in the sun
A beautiful day and a beautiful night
You drive me crazy when you hold me tight
I live my life so slow and
I'll walk while you will run
I slam the door behind me
The same way as you've done
The flowers you've planted
Are growing in the light




They're waiting in the backyard
I visit every night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to X-Perience's song "Beautiful Day" are nostalgic and melancholic. The first two lines of the song describe how the singer and their lover left the place they were born "years" ago, and how the singer is "receiving" a sign of their lover's return. It is unclear if the lover is truly returning or if the singer is simply dreaming. The lyric, "You gave me one good reason to wait until you come," implies that the lover had promised to return for the singer, and that the singer has been eagerly awaiting their return. The line "We're drowning in the sun" suggests that the singer and their lover are enjoying each other's company, and that their reunion is filled with warmth and happiness.


The chorus of the song describes how the singer feels about their lover. They describe the day and night as "beautiful" and admit that their lover drives them "crazy" when they hold them tight. The singer contrasts their slower pace of life with their lover's more adventurous nature, admitting that they will "walk" while their lover "runs." The final verse of the song references "flowers" that the lover had planted, which are now "growing in the light" in the backyard. The singer visits them each night, perhaps as a way of holding onto the memory of their relationship, and perhaps as a sign of hope that their lover will return.
