The song "Beloved" by Elijah Blake expresses the regret and longing of someone who has lost a loved one. The lyrics imagine a scenario where heaven temporarily opens its gates, allowing the narrator to see the face of their beloved who has passed away. The narrator expresses their deep appreciation for this person and laments that they were never able to express their love to them before they died. The chorus captures the feelings of distance and missed opportunities with the loved one being far away. The narrator regrets not being able to say all the things they wanted to say and expresses how there is no love that compares to the love they had for their beloved. The song acknowledges that true love is seen in the actions and presence of the loved one, and though they never experienced a perfect relationship, the narrator is still grateful for the love that was shown. They also wonder what they would do if given the chance to switch places with their deceased beloved. Overall, "Beloved" is a heartfelt tribute to a lost loved one and a reflection on the emotions and regrets associated with their passing.
