About Dover Beach

“Dover Beach” is the name of Baby Queen’s third single of the year, released alongside the music video on April 14th, 2021. It was premiered as BBC Radio 1’s “Hottest Record in the World” on that same day. "One of my favourite poems as a kid was ‘Dover Beach’ by Matthew Arnold, so it was always this really romanticised place in my head. So when I had time for another writing trip, I was like, ‘I’m going to Dover!’ It was a pretty amazing experience to write a song called ‘Dover Beach’ when you’re actually there. .

Dover Beach Lyrics

[00:19.49] On the coastline, in the water
[00:21.62] Your mirage is like a stalker
[00:24.16] I should push him off the cliff side
[00:26.47] 'Cause he's colouring my insides ocean blue
[00:31.75] And everywhere I look, I look at you
[00:35.97] It's true
[00:38.41] Up in my imagination, I rehearse our conversations
[00:43.37] And at least I'm never lonely
[00:45.63] Even though I know you're only in my mind
[00:50.90] And there's no point in covering my eyes, even when I try
[00:56.77] I hear your voice over and over
[01:00.05] Sitting on the bеach of Dover
[01:02.42] What is happening? Oh dear
[01:04.80] I keep wishing you wеre here
[01:07.35] And I swear I'm gonna lose it if I keep playing your music
[01:12.01] But what else is there to do?
[01:14.57] Everywhere I look I just see you
[01:19.59]
[01:26.51] In my self-made isolation, you're my only inspiration
[01:31.26] When the mirror says I'm ugly and if anybody loves me, it's a lie
[01:38.88] And right before I'm swallowed by my mind and cursing at the sky
[01:44.79] I hear your voice over and over
[01:48.07] Sitting on the beach of Dover
[01:50.50] What is happening? Oh dear
[01:52.83] I keep wishing you were here
[01:55.21] And I swear, I'm gonna lose it if I keep playing your music
[02:00.11] But what else is there to do?
[02:02.58] Everywhere I look, I just see you
[02:05.70] It's deep red, my broken dream
[02:10.45] My last breath, the king and queen
[02:15.45] The world ends, it's you and me
[02:20.15] In my head, if we can be together maybe we'll live forever
[02:24.55] Sand between my toes, I've got vertigo, I'm afraid of heights
[02:29.98] If I could I'd cry, we've got incompatible star signs
[02:34.93] I'm in love with you
[02:36.72] What's the point in looking at the view?
[02:40.13] 'Cause every time I do, I just see you (I just see you)
[02:46.58] It's deep red, my broken dream
[02:51.43] My last breath, the king and queen
[02:56.30] The world ends, it's you and me
[03:01.02] In my head if we can be together, maybe we'll live forever
[03:05.33] I met your ghost, he followed me
[03:07.78] Down to the coast of Dover Beach
[03:09.97] I talk to you in poetry
[03:12.35] You stole the view of Dover Beach
[03:14.79] I met your ghost, he followed me
[03:17.13] Down to the coast of Dover Beach
[03:19.57] I scream at you in poetry
[03:22.06] You stole the view of Dover Beach
[03:24.46]
