Beauty
De///Lion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What makes you think

That it wont grow back

In a day or two

Husbands in Winter, they know the truth
But what can they do

I don't like girls the way they are

So shave their legs and make them look like movie stars

Then we can pretend it's natural



Put on whatever makes you attractive

If it's not you then do it for the sake of fashion

If friends like a certain you, that's who you've got to be



Junior high legs, blond hair gone brown, from removing it

Waxing since thirteen, wisdom from a beauty queen

Her tiara digging deep in her head



Put on whatever makes you attractive

If it's not you then do it for the sake of fashion

If friends like a certain you, that's who you've got to be

That's who you've got to be



I'm staring to think that I'm kind of shy

Or at least I'd like to be

Winter legs give me heart attacks

So take it of with laser so it never comes back





Then we can pretend it's natural

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to De///Lion's song "Beauty" delve into society's obsession with conforming to a certain standard of beauty and the pressures it places on individuals, particularly women. The song questions the assumption that what is natural is not beautiful and explores the lengths that people go to alter their appearances in order to fit into societal expectations.


The first verse challenges the idea that something as trivial as hair growth should be perceived negatively. The line "What makes you think that it won't grow back in a day or two" suggests that the expectation to remove body hair is arbitrary and temporary. The next line, "Husbands in Winter, they know the truth, but what can they do," humorously points out the futility of such beauty standards.


The chorus reflects the frustration with society's emphasis on appearance, advocating for individuals to change themselves for the sake of fitting in. The lyrics "Put on whatever makes you attractive, if it's not you then do it for the sake of fashion" reveal the pressure to conform and sacrifice authenticity for societal acceptance.


The next verse discusses the impact of beauty standards on young girls, highlighting the pressure to remove body hair at an early age. The line "Junior high legs, blond hair gone brown from removing it, waxing since thirteen, wisdom from a beauty queen" illustrates the long-lasting impact of societal pressure and the influence of role models in perpetuating harmful beauty standards.


The second chorus reiterates the theme of conformity, emphasizing the idea that one should become the version of themselves that others find acceptable: "If friends like a certain you, that's who you've got to be."


The final verse sarcastically expresses the desire to be shy or reserved, attributing it to the anxiety caused by unshaven legs. The line "So take it off with laser so it never comes back, then we can pretend it's natural" suggests the extreme measures people are willing to take to conform to society's idea of beauty.


Overall, "Beauty" sheds light on the superficiality of beauty standards and the toll it can take on individual authenticity, raising questions about the societal pressures surrounding appearance.


Line by Line Meaning

What makes you think
What is your justification or reasoning


That it wont grow back
That the hair will not regrow


In a day or two
Within a short period of time


Husbands in Winter, they know the truth
Men in marriages understand the reality during the colder season


But what can they do
But they are unable to take action


I don't like girls the way they are
I am not fond of girls in their natural state


So shave their legs and make them look like movie stars
Therefore, I suggest shaving their legs to resemble celebrities


Then we can pretend it's natural
Thus, we can pretend it is inherent


Put on whatever makes you attractive
Wear whatever enhances your appeal


If it's not you then do it for the sake of fashion
If it is not your authentic self, do it for the sake of current trends


If friends like a certain you, that's who you've got to be
If your friends prefer a specific version of you, that is the person you must embody


Junior high legs, blond hair gone brown, from removing it
Legs resembling those of individuals in their early teenage years, blonde hair turning brunette due to hair removal


Waxing since thirteen, wisdom from a beauty queen
Engaging in waxing treatments since the age of thirteen, acquiring knowledge from someone knowledgeable about beauty


Her tiara digging deep in her head
Her crown pressing into her head deeply


I'm staring to think that I'm kind of shy
I am beginning to believe that I am somewhat reserved or introverted


Or at least I'd like to be
Or at the very least, it is a quality I desire


Winter legs give me heart attacks
Bare legs during winter cause great distress


So take it of with laser so it never comes back
Thus, remove the hair permanently using laser treatment to prevent regrowth


Then we can pretend it's natural
Consequently, we can feign its naturalness
