Beautiful

Beautiful
Eminem(에미넴) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

I'm just so fuckin' depressed
I just can't seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
In order for me to pick that mic back up
I don't know how or why or when
And I ended up in this position I'm in
I starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to pick this pen
Up and tried to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admit
Or come to grips, with the fact that
I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet
I know some shits so hard to swallow
And I just can't sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow, but I know one fact
I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow, copy, one tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow
But you have to walk a thousand miles

In my shoes, just to see
What it'd be like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find
Look at shit through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
Everything is so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
Just as soon as I walk in
It's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation, like I want that
I'm not looking for extra attention
I just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room
Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need no fucking manservant
Follow me around, and wiping my ass
Laugh at every single joke I crack
And half of 'em ain't even funny like
Haha Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn
Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit down
Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes
And you don't have to walk no thousand miles

In my shoes, just to see
What it'd be like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find
Look at shit through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so so
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you

Nobody asked for life to deal us
With these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves
Flip them, don't expect no help, now I could have either just
Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
But take this situation in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my own, I was never the type of kid
To wait but I know to unpack his bags
Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in, every single place, every school I went
I dreamed of being that cool kid
Even if it meant acting stupid, Aunt Edna always told me
Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there
Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
Till I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign pole at eight years old
I learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
Is probably a hundred and ten percent different
I guess we would have to walk a mile
In each other's shoes, at least
What size you where? I wear tens
Let's see if you can fit your feet

In my shoes, just to see
What it'd be like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find
Look at shit through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

Yea, to my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be home soon
And to the rest of the world, God gave you the shoes
That fit you, so put em on and wear 'em
And be yourself man, be proud of who you are




Even if it sounds corny,
Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful

Line by Line Meaning

Lately I've been hard to reach
Recently, I have been difficult to contact


I've been too long on my own
I have been by myself for an extended period of time


Everybody has a private world
Each person has their own personal and private space


Where they can be alone
Where they can have solitude


Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you attempting to contact me


Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you
Are you trying to connect with me and vice versa


I'm just so fuckin' depressed
I am extremely overwhelmed with sadness


I just can't seem to get out this slump
I am struggling to overcome this low point


If I could just get over this hump
If I could overcome this obstacle


But I need something to pull me out this dump
But I require something to uplift me from this state of despair


I took my bruises, took my lumps
I have endured my fair share of hardships


Fell down and I got right back up
I stumbled, but quickly recovered


But I need that spark to get psyched back up
However, I need that inspiration to regain my enthusiasm


In order for me to pick that mic back up
So that I can resume my career in music


I don't know how or why or when
I am uncertain of the circumstances that led me to this point


And I ended up in this position I'm in
And now I find myself in this situation


I starting to feel distant again
I am beginning to feel disconnected once more


So I decided just to pick this pen
So I made the choice to pick up my pen


Up and tried to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admit
And I made an effort to express my emotions, but I am unable to fully acknowledge


Or come to grips, with the fact that
Or come to terms with the reality that


I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet
I may have reached the end of my rap career and require a new creative outlet


I know some shits so hard to swallow
I recognize that certain things are difficult to accept


And I just can't sit back and wallow
And I cannot simply sit back and dwell on my problems


In my own sorrow, but I know one fact
In my own sadness, but I am aware of one truth


I'll be one tough act to follow
I will be a formidable figure to surpass


One tough act to follow, copy, one tough act to follow
An outstanding performer to emulate, indeed, an exceptional figure to emulate


Here today, gone tomorrow
Present today, gone tomorrow


But you have to walk a thousand miles
However, you must endure numerous challenges


In my shoes, just to see
Experience what it is like from my perspective


What it'd be like, to be me
To understand the experience of being me


I'll be you, let's trade shoes
I will take on your identity, let's exchange roles


Just to see what I'd be like to
To explore what it would feel like to


Feel your pain, you feel mine
To empathize with your pain, and you with mine


Go inside each other's mind
To delve into each other's thoughts and perspectives


Just to see what we find
Simply to discover what revelations await us


Look at shit through each other's eyes
To examine situations from each other's point of view


But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
But do not allow others to claim that you are not magnificent


They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so
Disregard their opinions. Remain authentic to yourself


I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
I believe I am gradually losing my ability to find things funny


Everything is so tense and gloom
The atmosphere feels filled with tension and despair


I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
I almost feel the need to gauge the mood of the surroundings


Just as soon as I walk in
As soon as I enter a room


It's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact
I sense that everyone's attention is focused on me, so I attempt to avoid making eye contact


Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation, like I want that
Because if I make eye contact, it invites others to engage in conversation, as if I desire that


I'm not looking for extra attention
I am not seeking additional attention


I just want to be just like you
I simply desire to fit in and be like everyone else


Blend in with the rest of the room
To integrate seamlessly with the others present


Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
Perhaps just direct me to the nearest restroom


I don't need no fucking manservant
I do not require a goddamn servant


Follow me around, and wiping my ass
Shadowing my every move, and taking care of my every need


Laugh at every single joke I crack
Finding humor in every joke I make


And half of 'em ain't even funny like
Even though half of them aren't truly humorous


Haha Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn
Haha, Marshall, you are hilarious! You should pursue a career in comedy, damn!


Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
Regrettably, I indeed am a comedian, but I mask my true emotions beneath a facade of happiness


So why don't you all sit down
So why don't all of you take a seat


Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
Pay attention to the story I am about to share


Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes
Well, we don't necessarily have to exchange our roles


And you don't have to walk no thousand miles
And you don't have to face numerous challenges


Yea, to my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be home soon
Yes, to my children. Stay resilient. I will return home shortly


And to the rest of the world, God gave you the shoes
And to everyone else, God has given you the necessary tools


That fit you, so put em on and wear 'em
That suit you, so wear them proudly


And be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Embrace who you are, and take pride in yourself, my friend


Even if it sounds corny,
Even if it may seem cheesy,


Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
Never allow anyone to convince you that you are not remarkable

That moment when you come back to a song and your English has improved enough to actually understand the lyrics.

I love Eminem's songs since I didn't speak English.

"I may be done with rap", the day Eminem is done with rap, the world won't be the same

@Supermateo97

PREACH. Em is one of the 2 people on the planet that actually have the right to be called the greatest rapper (alive) the other being Kendrick of course.

@masyn5819

Arvind Dhaliwal agreed

@itechnia1907

It would be the start of world war 3 actually
