- The Canals Of Our City Lyrics / with translationsWalls gone over the sea
But not for me
Watch now, all will end
Now all that I'm, under a tide
Now I'm, under a tide
Tall hair under it all
Much more than I once had
Over seas
But not for me
Watch now, all will end
Now all that I'm, under a tide
Now I'm, under a tide
Tall hair under it all
Much more than I once had
Over seas

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the song 'The Canals of Our City' by Beirut translates pretty well into a feeling of yearning and nostalgia, probably for some location or time which has either been lost or undergone a transformation. 'Walls gone, over the sea' is a metaphor that could stand for the removal of all barriers, although the feeling of being left out or cut off stays, which reflects on the impermanence of human life and love. The canals of our city lyrics are primarily indicative of contemplation, isolation, love's pain, despair, and angst. However, the song puts it all together in a way by portraying the very humanness in the longings and feelings of the connection, the trials and tribulations of solitude and reflection, and the inevitable flow of time. No inappropriate language, adult themes, or even the slightest hint of violence, nudity, or drug use is found in the lyrics. They are, however, easily digestible for everyone.
