Beautiful Girl
Fitzsimmons William Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A distant fuller skin
I knew you once
My God the sun
The windows bear your bones
Reveal your crime
Let the sunrise come again
Beautiful girl
Your sailor eyes
The water in the well
A thirst to fill
Let down your arms
The purging of this dark
The fall to free
Beautiful girl
Let the sunrise come again
Beautiful girl
May the weight of world resign
You will get better
The song Beautiful Girl by William Fitzsimmons is a hauntingly beautiful piece that talks about someone struggling with their inner demons and trying to find hope in the midst of their struggles. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery that paint a picture of a lost and broken soul trying to find their way back to the light.
The opening verse talks about a distant fuller skin and a gown being unfurled. The imagery of the skin suggests a sense of vulnerability and rawness, while the gown could be symbolic of a protective covering or facade being stripped away. The singer then says "I knew you once" which suggests that this person was once whole and happy before something happened to break them.
The chorus of the song is a plea for the beauty in life to return. The singer sings "Beautiful girl, let the sunrise come again" which is a powerful metaphor for hope and new beginnings. The second verse talks about "sailor eyes" and a "thirst to fill" which suggests that the person is searching for something to quench their inner turmoil. The repetition of "beautiful girl" throughout the song is a reminder that this person is still worthy of love and light.
Overall, the song Beautiful Girl is a poignant reminder that no matter how lost and broken we feel, there is always hope for a new beginning and a brighter future.

How is it possible that this song makes me care so much about every one of the people in the comments. Their losses, Their loves, Their strengths, Their sadness. It’s like some sort of intersection, and regardless of what brought us all here, I care very much just because we all are. It’s like Magick and we need so much more of this in the world right now.

This song proves that music reaches something primal, instinctual and intrinsic in us...I cannot listen to this song without being brought to the brink of tears simply because of the beauty of it.

I'm 16 and I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Just when I thought there was no hope left for me, I heard this song. I now know the light I once had will return to me again and shine brighter than ever. and I have William Fitzsimmons to thank for that<3

Hi Fayth. I'm 26 now and like you struggled very badly with my mental health when I was 16. Music like this really helped me find a way through the darkness. I hope you found your way back to the light too.
