Founder Ashba eventually left the group to form his own solo project, ASHBA, before going on to form Sixx:A.M. and join Guns N' Roses while drummer Sobel also departed. Guitarist Michael Thomas (Engines of Agression) joined Beautiful Creatures, replacing Ashba, only to depart from Beautiful Creatures to join Ashba's solo band, Ashba, which broke up shortly after Thomas joined.
Eventually the group returned adding guitarist Alex Grossi (Angry Salad, Quiet Riot, Adler's Appetite) and drummer Matt Starr for the recording of the second album, Deuce, however by the time it was released, in 2005, both Grossi and Starr had been replaced by guitarist Mark Simpson (Flotsam and Jetsam) and drummer Timmy Russell.
Although the members are doing other projects. Kweens, Leste and Focx have spoke about continuing and possibly doing a original line up reunion, but no shows or new music are in the works.
I Got It All
Beautiful Creatures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a needle sticking in their eyes
I know where I'll be
You'll see me in the end
I got it all
I got blood on my hands
I got the world on command
I got it all
I crossed the line in the sand
I got it
I got it all
Watch your back, like it ain't no joke
Watch your life, goin' up in smoke
What's yours is mine
What's mine is mine
And I'll take it every time
I got it all
I got blood on my hands
I got it all
I got the world on command
I got it all
I crossed that line in the sand
I got it
I got cancers, I got scars
Like politicians, and superstars
I got it all
I got blood on my hands
I got it all
I got the world on command
I got it all
I crossed the line in the sand
I got it, ooh, yeah
I got it all
I got people that I left behind
I got it all
I see things that'll make you blind
I got it all
I got stories that could damage lives
I got it
I got it all
The lyrics of Beautiful Creatures's song I Got it All talks about the hidden secrets and flaws that every individual possesses, and how everyone is struggling to cope with their own share of demons. The opening lines of "Everybody's got somethin' to hide, there's a needle sticking in their eyes" represents how people choose to cover up their true selves and rather prefer keeping things hidden. The character in the song believes that they have it all, including blood on their hands, the world at their feet, and a sense of control that crosses the line. The theme of the song emphasizes the idea of power, dominance, and privilege, elements that the character feels they hold, yet with still a great deal of pain and regret.
"You'll see me in the end" suggests that the character in the song knows how it all will conclude—that every dark aspect of one's life will eventually get out in the open, and they'll be exposed to the world. The lines "Watch your back, like it ain't no joke, watch your life, goin' up in smoke, What's yours is mine, What's mine is mine, And I'll take it every time," suggests that the character is perhaps a predator of sorts or without compassion for others as they consider it acceptable to take whatever they want and leave things to chance. "I got cancers, I got scars, Like politicians, and superstars," signifies that everyone has their own story to tell, whether for better or for worse, regardless of having a celebrity status or a regular individual.
