George Ezra: Budapest Meaning

Song Released: 2014

Budapest Lyrics

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo

For you
You
I’d leave it all

My acres of a land
I have achieved
It may be hard for you to,
Stop and believe

But for you
You
I’d Leave it...

   It's a twist on a love song. Ezra lists his belongings that he has and in the future will have (house in Budapest)-showing his devotion and how much he actually would do and give up to have her-also what he has to offer.

   It's about a love of music and it's loved so much that he will give up everything to pursue it, or Castillo did. The golden grand Piano and reference to Castillo, a classical composer and pianist, in the first verse points to what the love is about.

   This song is an obvious interpretation of a man's love for another man. When he I'd give all up to you, he is talking about anal--or as I like to call it the "forbidden hello". It's a beautiful that should open people's perceptions to all things fancy.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   The actual meaning of this song is pretty weak. He was holidaying around Europe when he spent too much time with a girl and missed his train to Budapest .

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Whilst he may have everything he needs he would give it all up for 'you' before his race of Aliens comes back on the mothership to collect him, and they don't approve of Alien/Human relationships..

   George Ezra is saying in the song, that he is so in love with 'you' that he wold leave all of riches behind. He doesn't care that his friends and family think his crazy for loving 'you', he just wants to be with 'you' and would give up anything to make it happen.
   
   This song is basically a different form of love song, with the tune and lyrics not obviously creating ballad, but singing about his devotion to 'you'.

    Budapest by Ezra is referring to the assassination of archduke Ferdinand at the beginning of WW1 who was heir to the hungarian empire. It is mainly talking about the fact that his family would not accept his wife and so he gave up the throne to be with her.

    George has many valuable possesions but he is saying to his lover my family may not approve but i will leave all my many artifacts behind for you if you take my hand in marriage (quote: my friends and family, they don't understand. They fear they'd lose so much if you took my hand (in marriage). Also throughout the song he says things like if only you would say the words and things like that implying some hesitant commitment issues from his lover due to the fact that he is supposedly too good for her/him dependant on his partner sex choice.

    He has a lot of fancy things and the person he loves wants a more simplistic life. He's saying he will give it all up for love. He's also saying that friends and family are making a fuss about it but as long as the two are in love, the problems do not matter.

    This guy is a rich man, and he's found the love of his life but she thinks that he's too good for her. So he's basically saying he'd leave all of his treasures and materialistic things of his behind so he can be with her.
