On The Beach
above & beyond (oceanlab) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say goodbye to all your friends
Time to leave and go home again
Set to fly
And leave behind
Leave behind
The sun

Everyday we pave the way for endless nights of dancing
And every night we'd fire our minds and liberate our souls
A home from home
A place that we can go and still be free

There's nothing like you and me,
On the beach
Moving with the waves in the sea
There's nothing like you and me,
Out of reach
On the beach
There's nothing like you and me

We will all be back to play
Winter runs will just fade away
Making friends
And sleeping in
And sleeping in the sun

Everyday we pave the way for endless nights of dancing
And every night we'd fire our minds and liberate our souls
A home from home
A place that we can go and still be free

There's nothing like you and me,

There's nothing like you and me,
On the beach
Moving with the waves in the sea
There's nothing like you and me,
Out of reach
On the beach
There's nothing like you and me

Who needs a clear blue sky?
You and I
On the beach
There's nothing like you and me
Who needs a clear blue sky?
You and I
On the beach
There's nothing like you and me
Who needs a clear blue sky?




You and I
On the beach

Overall Meaning

"On The Beach" by Above & Beyond, featuring OceanLab, is a mesmerizing song that highlights the essence of departing from a group of friends and returning home, but it’s also about the memories and experiences that were shared with them on the beach. The lyrics evoke the feelings of letting go of the past, reminiscing on the good times, and carrying those memories with you as you move forward.


The opening lines of the song "Say goodbye to all your friends, Time to leave and go home again" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is leaving the beach and its memories behind, and getting back to the grind of normal life. The lyrics further emphasize these feelings with "Set to fly and leave behind, leave behind the sun." This line signifies that it's time to leave the sun and fun behind and get back to routine life.


The chorus "There's nothing like you and me, On the beach, Moving with the waves in the sea, There's nothing like you and me, Out of reach, On the beach, There's nothing like you and me" captures the essence of the memories and experiences they shared on the beach. It expresses how special those moments were, how they cannot be recreated, and how they are preserved by the individual.


Overall, the song is a perfect blend of nostalgia, carefreeness, and reminiscence that one feels after leaving a gathering of friends.


Line by Line Meaning

Say goodbye to all your friends
It's time to depart from our fellow beachgoers


Time to leave and go home again
Our stay at the beach has come to an end


Set to fly
We're ready to depart


And leave behind
We're leaving our memories of the beach


Leave behind
We're leaving the sun behind


Everyday we pave the way for endless nights of dancing
The beach provides us with an opportunity to dance every night


And every night we'd fire our minds and liberate our souls
At night, we let go of our worries and release our inner selves


A home from home
The beach feels like a comfortable place for us


A place that we can go and still be free
We can still feel free even when we're away from our hometown


There's nothing like you and me, On the beach
Being on the beach with you is incomparable


Moving with the waves in the sea
We feel one with the ocean's waves


Out of reach
Our time on the beach is fleeting


We will all be back to play
We'll return to the beach to have more fun


Winter runs will just fade away
The cold winter months will be ancient history


Making friends
We'll meet new people at the beach


And sleeping in
We'll rest without a care in the world


And sleeping in the sun
We'll nap under the sun's warm rays


Who needs a clear blue sky?
We don't need perfect weather to enjoy the beach


You and I
We can make the most of our days at the beach together

Say goodbye to all your friends
Time to leave and go home again
Sad to fly and leave behind the sun

Every day would pave the way
For endless nights of dancing
And every night would fire our minds
And liberate our souls
A home from home
A place that we can go and still be free

There's nothing like you and me
On the beach
Moving with the waves in the sea
There's nothing like you me
Out of reach on the beach
There's nothing like you and me

We will all be back to play
Winter months will just fade away
Making friends and sleeping in the sun

Every day will pave the way
For endless nights of dancing
And every night will fire our minds
And liberate our souls
A home from home
A place that we can go and still be free

There's nothing like you and me
On the beach
Moving with the waves in the sea
There's nothing like you and me
Out of reach on the beach
There's nothing like you and me

Underneath a clear blue sky
You and I on the beach

Damn, I haven’t listened to this in years, nostalgia overload.
I go on vacation every year to the beach, and I’ve decided I’ll listen to this song when driving back home.

Sirens of the sea was an amazing album. Truly timeless

Out of reach on the beach
There's nothing like you and me

We will all be back to play

Moving with the waves in the sea
There's nothing like you and me
Out of reach on the beach
There's nothing like you and me

Underneath a clear blue sky
