Beauty Lies Within
Edge of Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is falling apart,
We never wanted to find out,
What it's like to go up in flames,
Now the world is cold and grey,
It's harder to face the truth,
Locked in our minds,
You can't save me,
I can't save you,
Beauty lies within,
Traces deliberately left me out,
Beauty lies within,
Face full of scars,
Poison's leaking into her skin,
I wish we could smell the sea,
I wish I could hold you,
and you would hold me,
In the end,
Far too late,
We asked "what will remain"?
But the world had closed her eyes,
And there's nothing left but pain,
I wish we could smell the sea,
I wish I could hold you,
And you would hold me,
You can't save me,
I can't save you
The song "Beauty Lies Within" by Edge of Dawn delves into the concept of beauty, both inside and out, and the turmoil that comes with loss and disappointment. The opening verse talks about how everything is falling apart and crashing down, which may refer to a relationship or a personal struggle. The second verse shifts to a more abstract theme, addressing how the world has turned cold and grey, making it harder to face the truth. The chorus speaks directly about beauty being within, rather than external, and how sometimes pain and trauma can leave scars, and even poison, on a person.
The lyrics continue with the wish to hold someone, perhaps in comfort or consolation, but in the end, it is too late. The question is raised of what will remain, but the answer is pain. The final verse and chorus repeat the refrain of wishing for closeness and the acknowledgment that neither party can save the other. The song ultimately discusses the isolation and desolation that comes with experiencing trauma or loss, and finding the beauty within despite external struggles.

Everything is crashing down,
The world around us is falling apart.
Everything is falling apart,
The world is in a state of chaos and decay.
We never wanted to find out,
We never wanted to face the reality of our situation.
What it's like to go up in flames,
What it feels like to experience destruction and devastation.
Now the world is cold and grey,
The world is bleak and lifeless.
It's harder to face the truth,
As things deteriorate, it becomes increasingly difficult to confront the harsh reality.
Locked in our minds,
Trapped in our own thoughts and emotions.
You can't save me,
There is no saving either of us from the pain we are experiencing.
I can't save you,
We are both helpless to save each other from our suffering.
Beauty lies within,
True beauty can only be found on the inside, within a person's character and soul.
Traces deliberately left me out,
Someone intentionally excluded us, leaving us feeling isolated and alone.
Face full of scars,
Our external appearance bears the marks of the pain and turmoil we have experienced.
Poison's leaking into her skin,
Our suffering is having a toxic effect on us, both physically and emotionally.
I wish we could smell the sea,
We yearn for the comfort and tranquility of the ocean.
I wish I could hold you,
We long for the support and comfort of each other.
And you would hold me,
We want to feel safe and protected in each other's arms.
In the end,
Ultimately, when all is said and done...
Far too late,
Unfortunately, it is too little, too late.
We asked "what will remain"?
As everything falls apart, we can't help but wonder what will be left in the aftermath.
But the world had closed her eyes,
It seems that the world has turned a blind eye to our suffering.
And there's nothing left but pain,
All we are left with is the agony of our torment.
