Beauty Queen
Ben's Brother Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eve and Adam's only child
Body that goes on for miles
Heaven only knows that real
Can be better than the fantasy
And her eyes shouldn't have
Blurred my vision I know that she, she

Was a beauty queen
And if you are gonna cry, don't cry for me
'cause from here on the ground
The truth I have found
Is we all fall down
Yes, we all fall down

Sidney told me something once
When he came and sat down next to me
He said, "Beware of the beautiful ones
Because they never let you rest in peace"
But her eyes shouldn't have blurred my vision
I know that she, oh, she

Was a beauty queen
And if you are gonna cry, don't cry for me
'cause from here on the ground
The truth I have found
Is we all fall down
Yes, we all fall down

Taken in, by the sweetest sin
Milk and honey tasting skin
'S why she always wins

She's a beauty queen
And if you were gonna cry, don't cry for me
'cause from here on the ground
The truth I have found

Is we all fall down
Yes, we all fall down




Yes, we all fall down
We can all fall down

Overall Meaning

The song "Beauty Queen" by Ben's Brother speaks about the irresistible attraction of beauty, particularly in the form of physical attractiveness. The singer sings about Eve and Adam's only child, a woman with an alluring body, but also alludes to the idea of beauty being deceiving. The opening lines suggest that despite her physical appearance, real beauty is more than skin deep. The chorus of the song repeats "Beauty Queen" which similarly brings attention to the outwardly appearance of beauty being only one part of the equation.


The middle section of the song features Sidney warning the singer of the destructiveness of the beautiful - that these types of people are never content with and it is common to be trapped in their spell. Despite the warning, the singer still can't help but be drawn into this woman's beauty which seems addictive. The song ends on a more somber note with "we all fall down", which can be interpreted as a warning that even our beauty can eventually fade, or it could speak to the idea that the pursuit of beauty can be challenging or vain.
