Bombay Beach
Exploring Teenage Musings: Bombay Beach by Natalie Simons
Lyrics
Bombay Beach is nice
Bombay Beach is a pleasant place.
Let's go there next weekend look at the night sky
Suggesting a plan to visit Bombay Beach and enjoy the night sky next weekend.
And if we get bored
If they become bored during the visit, they can drive to Mexico and not return.
We can drive down to Mexico and never come back
Expressing a desire for a spontaneous adventure, possibly avoiding responsibilities.
I've got a year until I'm an adult
Noting a year left until adulthood, uncertain about its implications but feeling it's relatively old.
I don't know what that means but it seems pretty old
Reflecting on the concept of becoming an adult and finding it somewhat unclear.
Haven't done any exciting things that I thought came with being a teenage girl
Expressing disappointment about not experiencing exciting aspects expected in teenage years.
And sometimes when the world gets too loud I talk to myself
Using self-talk as a coping mechanism when the world becomes overwhelming.
Just stand in the shower
Finding solace in standing in the shower during these moments.
Picture your face
Imagining a comforting scenario by picturing the face of someone significant.
And say things out loud
Verbally expressing thoughts and feelings aloud as a form of release.
And I don't know if I like girls
Uncertainty about sexual orientation, particularly regarding attraction to girls.
There's one that I see she makes my heart twirl
Expressing admiration for a girl who elicits positive emotions.
Wish I could meet her again make sure I came across
Desiring another meeting with the girl to ensure a positive impression.
As someone that she'd like to know
Wanting to be someone the girl would find interesting or worth knowing.
I've been looking at houses that I'll never buy
Browsing houses without intent to buy, a means of passing time.
Guess it's just a dumb way for me to pass time
Recognizing it as a frivolous way to occupy time.
I'll send you a picture of one in LA
Sharing a picture of a house in LA, focusing on its aesthetics.
It has beautiful ceilings and gold window panes
Highlighting specific attractive features of the house.
And sometimes when the world gets to loud I stare at myself
Using self-reflection when the world becomes overwhelming, focusing on dislikes.
Pick out all of the things that I hate
Examining and critiquing personal flaws during moments of introspection.
And pretend that I'm somebody else
Pretending to be someone else as a coping mechanism.
I guess I'll see you around
Expressing the likelihood of encountering the person again.
I'll see you around
Repeating the anticipation of seeing the person in the future.
I'll see you around someday
Emphasizing the possibility of meeting again someday.
I guess I'll see you around
Reiterating the expectation of encountering the person in the future.
I'll see you around
Repeating the anticipation of seeing the person in the future.
I'll see you around and maybe I'll wave
Expressing the possibility of waving when meeting again.
