Beautiful World
Bandshes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If only the people, all us people could know you
Beautiful earth i'm trying
finding light where they say there is none
and all your dark around us they say it wont change
but it's those people that make it that way
some of them pretend to be saints
some of them sway and sing
and hold onto that fear
Beautiful world answer me
do we play dumb to live on lower expectations
Beautiful world the lives you carry to watch people suffer
succeed to just to watch those below them suffer
they watch from a clean modern tower in arm chairs with glasses of wine
some of them pretend to be saints
some of the sway and sing
I like it up here baby it's comfortable in this chair
just forget about good and remember you're not down there
beautiful earth I choose your blossoms I choose grassy hills and desert skies
I choose wide oceans and sunsets to lay down and watch
beautiful earth I choose to sink beneath your dirt
safe from the feet of those who walk it
safe from towers and fake homes
and i'll sing
I like the dirt baby its natural here
just forget about greed and let go of your fears
oh let go
oh let go
beautiful world let me know you
In Bandshes's song "Beautiful World," the lyrics explore the tension between light and dark, hope and despair in our modern world. The opening lines express the profound effects of the beauty of the world around us: "Beautiful world, you shake me." The song goes on to pose a series of questions that challenge the listener to consider the state of humanity and our relationship to the planet we inhabit.
The questions posed in the song focus on the idea that there is both great beauty in the world and great evil. The lyrics suggest that many people turn a blind eye to the darkness and instead focus on the beauty. But if "only the people, all us people could know you," the world, then perhaps we would be more aware of the pain and suffering that exists alongside the beauty. This duality is shown with the line "I like the dark baby, it's comfortable here just forget about good and hold onto that fear."
The second verse of the song turns its attention to the inequality present in our world. While some people live lives of luxury, "watching people suffer," others are trapped in poverty and desperation. The lyrics "some of them pretend to be saints, some of them sway and sing" suggest a sense of hypocrisy among those in power. The final verse of the song ends on a note of hope, with the singer expressing a desire to connect with nature and to let go of the negative aspects of our world.
Overall, Bandshes's "Beautiful World" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that encourages the listener to look beyond superficial appearances and to think deeply about the state of our world.
