Beautiful Emilie
Keziah Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

BEAUTIFUL EMILIE
"You got
You got to talk to someone
"You got to talk to someone someday
Cuz when the words are gone it's to late

Communication with "thee" put the antenna
there
I am a function of "thee" speaking loud
and clear
Oh Beautiful Emilie
Beautiful Emilie
I need an explanation right now
Some good communication somehow
I heard a statement from "thee" about an
"L" shaped room
But a "space imaginary" is an abandoned
womb
Oh Beautiful Eilie
Beautiful Emilie
I need an explanation right now
Some good communication somehow
An explanation for "thee" is
"You made an angel cry"
I feel so close to you there's no
"me" I am a three times why?
Why?
why?
Why?
Do ordinary people specialize?

Overall Meaning

In Keziah Jones's song Beautiful Emilie, the lyrics capture the need for communication and the frustration that ensues when one cannot connect with their intended recipient. The song encourages the listener to speak up and reach out to someone because when the opportunity is gone, it is too late. The use of the word "thee" implies a desperate plea to a higher power, a god or possibly a muse, for guidance on how to better communicate. Jones paints the picture of being at the mercy of this muse, a function of it, unable to find the right words without its guidance.


The title character, Beautiful Emilie, remains a mysterious figure in the song. Jones seeks an explanation, likely from this muse or perhaps from Emilie herself, but only receives fragments of information. The reference to an "L" shaped room and an "imaginary space" may suggest a disconnect between what is real and what exists only in the mind or imagination. Despite this confusion, Jones continues to reach out for communication, determined to understand and connect with Beautiful Emilie.


Ultimately, Beautiful Emilie is a powerful commentary on the importance of clear communication and the consequences of failing to connect with others. The song also explores the role of inspiration and muse in the creative process, underscoring the idea that sometimes we need external guidance in order to express ourselves fully.
