The Prettiest
Adna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm dying all the time
Then no longer I fall
I'm lying on the ground
Hating all there is
Aaaaaah, aah
Somtimes I think I cannot think anymore
Cause the thinking, will one day, take me from this world
I'm hating all there is
When there's hate I've painted
My whole world
Dreams are all I have
They make me want to stay
'Cause they bring me close to you
Sometimes I feel your smile too I want to sleep true tomorrow
Yeah, I haven't slept all day
I want to sleep true tomorrow
I cannot take your breath away
I want to sleep true tomorrow
Cannot take your breath away
The lyrics of Adna's song "The Prettiest" are a melancholic but introspective depiction of the artist's grappling with her own mortality and the turmoil of her emotions. The opening lines, "I fall and die / I'm dying all the time / Then no longer I fall / I'm lying on the ground", set the tone for a song where Adna is grappling with her own mortality and perhaps the struggles of everyday life. The repetition of the phrase "I fall and die" represents a feeling of helplessness and despair that permeates throughout the song.
Adna goes on to sing, "Sometimes I think I cannot think anymore / 'Cause the thinking will one day take me from this world." Here, she is acknowledging the idea that sometimes, thinking too much about the heavy themes in life can become inescapable and overwhelming. She continues to paint a picture of a world full of hate and struggle, singing, "When there's hate I've painted / My whole world." Adna is full of feelings of sadness and loss, and is struggling to find hope.
However, Adna does find solace in her dreams, which makes her want to continue living even when the reality of life feels too much to bear. She sings, "Dreams are all I have / They make me want to stay / 'Cause they bring me close to you / Sometimes I feel your smile too" which adds poignant beauty to the otherwise dark and pensive lyrics. The song ends with Adna yearning for a peaceful sleep and wanting to be with her loved ones, as she sings, "I want to sleep true tomorrow / Cannot take your breath away." Overall, "The Prettiest" proves to be a haunting and thought-provoking song about the depth of emotions that humans can feel during their darkest moments.

If you can see tears
And you can see that I'm being choked and
It is my fear
All this time I have been broken
You send me the biggest pressure
But also the sweetest treasure
To hold them we'll make it true
Believe it I'm doing it for you
If only I could scream, I would do it loud
I would do it to you
I'll say you're all I see and you're all I feel
But you'll never love me
You say that the prettiest thing
Is to give somebody a song
It would make one heal
Make one see what it wants to feel
If only I could scream, I would do it loud
I would do it for you
I'll say you're all I see and you're all I feel
But you'll never will
If only I could scream, I would do it loud
I would do it to you
I'll say you're all I see and you're all I feel
But you'll never love me
