Beach Freaks
City Dreams and Coastal Streams: Beach Freaks' Poetic Escape
Lyrics
We're the beach freaks livin' in the city
We, the beach freaks, are living in the city.
And we don't know what to do so we smoke our life away
We are uncertain about what to do, so we resort to smoking our lives away.
And the perils that we face feel like were running out of time
We feel the challenges we encounter, and it seems like time is running out.
Standing on our heads partake in the art of getting by
We adapt by figuratively standing on our heads, engaging in the art of getting by.
And he lives everyday as if it was his last
Someone lives each day as if it's their last.
And when the day is done he still complains it went too fast
Even after the day is over, there is dissatisfaction as it passed too quickly.
And she's in her bedroom thinking about regrets
She reflects on regrets in her bedroom.
While everything will be alright if she smokes that cigarette
Smoking a cigarette seems to offer solace and make everything alright.
Oh and I
Expressing personal emotions or thoughts.
I need you baby, I need you darling
Expressing a need for someone dearly.
But you keep slipping away and you come back crawling
Despite efforts, the person keeps drifting away but returns seeking support.
Screaming out, that old sound
Expressing distress or strong emotions with an old familiar sound.
I'm so used to pickin' you up when you are down
Accustomed to helping when the other person is down.
Its funny how some things never ever change
Noting the irony that some things never change.
Living in the desert I pray for the waves to save me
Living in a challenging environment, hoping for something transformative.
I don't mind the rain but its pouring lately
While rain is tolerable, recent difficulties feel overwhelming.
And he lives everyday as if it was his last
Similar to line 5, someone lives each day as if it's their last.
And when the day is done he still complains it went too fast
Despite the day ending, there is still dissatisfaction with its speed.
And she's in her bedroom thinking about regrets
Reiteration of a person contemplating regrets in their bedroom.
While everything will be alright if she throws away her cigarettes
Implies that discarding cigarettes could bring about positive change.
Oh and I
Reiterating a need for someone dearly.
I need you baby, I need you darling
Expressing a persistent but elusive need for someone.
But you keep slipping away and you come back crawling
Despite efforts, the person keeps drifting away but returns seeking support (repeated).
Screaming out, that old sound
Expressing distress or strong emotions with an old familiar sound (repeated).
I'm so used to pickin' you up when you are down
Accustomed to helping when the other person is down (repeated).
Its funny how some things never ever change
Noting the irony that some things never change (repeated).
Im going to run far from this town
Expressing a desire to escape from the current location.
And I ain't going to stop until I hit the sky now
Determined to continue until reaching the sky.
Going to take off that hat and put on that crown
A symbolic transition, discarding old ways for a new status.
Would you join me baby running far from the crowd
Inviting someone to join in the pursuit of a better life away from the crowd.
Cause I need you baby, I need you darling
Reiterating a need for someone dearly (repeated).
But you keep slipping away and you come back crawling
Despite efforts, the person keeps drifting away but returns seeking support (repeated).
Screaming out, that old sound
Expressing distress or strong emotions with an old familiar sound (repeated).
I'm so used to picking you up when you are down
Accustomed to helping when the other person is down (repeated).
Its funny how some things never ever change
Noting the irony that some things never change (repeated).
