Long Beach

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God at the wheel with a gun
Get down on the street
And call your friends
They're shootin' up a new path
To guide the first and last
So get down on the street
It's a miracle
And it's comin' your way
A miracle
And shinnin' all day
As bad as the night embers
Beat to another song
Sad 'cause you know her death
Will never fade
It's a miracle
And it's comin' your way
A miracle
And shinnin' all day
And so you come alive
At the perfect time
It's a perfect life
Okay, I know we're mates
Okay, it feels the same
But girl, you know your name
Will someday change
It's a miracle
And it's comin' your way
A miracle
And it's shinnin' all day
A miracle
Comin' your way
A miracle
And it's shinnin' all day
Your way, your way
In the song "Long Beach" by Black Gus, the lyrics are a combination of vivid imagery and abstract concepts that paint a picture of a world on the brink of change. The song begins with the lines "Bee sitting you come undone, God at the wheel with a gun," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for fate, with the idea that life can sometimes feel like we are helpless "bees" waiting to come undone, while the universe feels like it's being controlled by an ominous and unpredictable force. The second line seems to suggest that we are not entirely powerless, that even though we may not be driving this cosmic car, we do have the ability to take our fate into our own hands.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated several times throughout, seems to be both a message of hope and a warning. The lines "It's a miracle and it's coming your way, a miracle and shining all day" speak to the possibility of a positive change on the horizon, but the repetition of the phrase "coming your way" suggests that this change is not preordained and that it will require active participation on our part. The song's final lines, "And so you come alive at the perfect time, it's a perfect life," are uplifting and suggest that if we're open to the possibilities, we can find joy and fulfillment in our lives, even when things seem dark.
