Beta Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Golden light, tunnel white
If I run to you, would you stay?
I might be a prototype, but we’re both real inside


[Pre-Chorus]
Would you take me up this time?
Come take me up this time

'Cause I’m gonna find that place
No way that I won't
I will find

My beta love
When I find
My beta love
You will be
My beta love
My beta love

Now we’re getting closer

[Verse 2]
Endless hope, I believe
You can’t tell me, no, it’s no dream
In this city of robot hearts, ours were made to beat

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll take me up this time
You'll take me up this time
I was made in that place, no way to deny
I will find
[Chorus]
My beta love
When I find
My beta love
You will be
My beta love
My beta love
Now we’re getting closer

Be my beta love
When I find
My beta love
You will be
My beta love
My beta love
Now we’re getting closer
Close to you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Being it’s titular song and falling in theme with the cyberpunk/techno-vibes of the album, Beta Love is a song about a wistful, hopeless romantic, prototype robot yearning for a a first love. Though the phrase “beta love” implies the relationship will only be a temporary phase–akin to beta testing–the song does not treat it as tragic or anything lesser! This is a novelty in romance songs.
