You know you're gold, you don't got to worry none
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest?
All deception, all deception from you
Your love is stag in the white sand
Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Don't I know you better than the rest?
All deception, all deception from you
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse, arching among us
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us
Your love is stag in the white sand
Oasis child, born into a man
Don't I know you better than the rest?
All deception, all deception from you
Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest?
All deception, all deception from you
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse, arching among us
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us
About This Song
"Zebra" is a dreamlike meditation on intimacy and deception that captures Beach House's signature blend of longing and uncertainty. The song explores the complex dynamics of knowing someone deeply while simultaneously recognizing their capacity for deception, using vivid imagery of wilderness and wild animals to convey both freedom and elusiveness. Musically, it exemplifies the duo's lush dream pop style with Victoria Legrand's ethereal vocals floating over Alex Scally's shimmering guitar textures and hypnotic rhythms. The zebra metaphor suggests the duality inherent in relationships-the black and white stripes representing the contradictory nature of love and trust. The track stands as one of Beach House's most evocative pieces, perfectly encapsulating their ability to transform personal vulnerability into expansive, atmospheric soundscapes that feel both intimate and universal.
