Beam Me Up is a dark-sounding and R&B-influenced single that can be interpreted as one of Carly’s deepest lyric topics since her 2018 single “Third Eye.”
Beam Me Up is also the first song in which the Spain-based singer partly sings in Spanish.
The singer firstly teased the artwork, the title,...
[Verse 1]
Home is just a language, I
I don't know how to speak, mhm
Eso de sentirse en casa
Es muy difícil para mí
For me
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I don't really wanna leave early
But I don't really wanna be
Sitting on the sidewalk 3:30
With my hands around my knees
I don't really wanna leave early
But I don't really wanna be (Be, be, be, be)
[Chorus]
Beam me up I've been
Seen enough
Tried looking away
But nowhere is safe
Just beam me up
'Cause I've seen enough
I ask for a day
Forgetting my face
[Verse 2]
Covering myself in diamonds
You could mistake me for a star
(For a star, for a star)
Te doy la luz que necesitas
Y aún así no puedes conectar
(Sin conectar, sin conectar)
Honey and cyanide
Wonder if there's still a world outside
('Cause I don't really wanna leave early
But I don't really wanna be)
It's going speed of light
I'm just clinging to the pull of life
('Cause I don't really wanna leave early
But I don't really wanna be)
[Chorus]
Beam me up I've been
Seen enough
Tried looking away
But nowhere is safe
Just beam me up
'Cause I've seen enough
I ask for a day
Forgetting my face
[Bridge]
(Ooh, ooh)
Just beam me up
Just beam me up
Just beam me up
(Beam me up)
Just beam me up
(Beam me up)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't really wanna leave early
But I don't really wanna be
Sitting on the sidewalk 3:30
With my hands around my knees
See, I don't really wanna leave early
But I don't really wanna leave
But I don't really wanna be here
But I don't really wanna be
[Chorus]
Beam me up I've been
Seen enough
Tried looking away
But nowhere is safe
Just beam me up
'Cause I've seen enough
(I've seen enough)
I ask for a day
Forgetting my face
(Forgetting my face, forgetting my face)
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
