Beauty In The Beast
Gavin Rossdale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm awake now,
The buzz open to the night.
You're the libertine.
You're philistine
When I first saw you,
I knew I was done.
You. I arise
Feeling invincible, this moment?s mine.
[Chorus]
Strangers, landscapes,
See the sky flip inside out,
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you round.
There's danger in the street,
That's the beauty in the beast.
There's danger in the street,
That's the beauty in the beast.
In a blink of an eye,
You seem to get me.
You are my fox and I can't see your eye
I am the wheel,
The knob of my heart,
I know this road goes back to the star.
You are feel again,
You. I rise
Feeling invincible this moments mine.
[Chorus]
Yellow moon works when everyone's asleep.
Sometimes what you want is just out of reach.
[Chorus]
Strangers, landscapes,
See the sky flip inside out
How you make me turn around
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you round
Theres danger in the street [Repeat: x 5]
Thats the beauty in the beast
In "Beauty In The Beast" by Gavin Rossdale, the singer is describing the thrill of being in love with someone who is dangerous, unpredictable, and exciting. The song is set in the middle of the city, where there is a sense of frenetic energy and anything can happen. The singer is awakened by the buzz of the city and the presence of their lover. The lover is compared to a libertine and a philistine, suggesting that they are not bound by the rules of society and are perhaps a little rough around the edges. When the singer first sees their lover, they know that they are hooked.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their sense of invincibility and power when they are with their lover. The chorus repeats the phrase "There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast," suggesting that the thrill of being with this lover lies in the fact that they are unpredictable and potentially dangerous. The lover is like a beautiful but dangerous beast that the singer can't resist. The song ends with the singer acknowledging the difficulty of getting what you really want, but also expressing the sense that anything is possible with this lover by their side.
Overall, "Beauty In The Beast" captures the feeling of being swept away by a powerful and dangerous love, and the sense of exhilaration that comes with embracing the unknown.
Line by Line Meaning
In the heart of the city,
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city
I'm awake now,
I'm alert, aware and ready
The buzz open to the night.
The city's sounds enveloping me into the night
You're the libertine.
You're free-spirited and indulge in sensual pleasures
You're philistine
You're lacking in cultural appreciation or education
When I first saw you,
The moment I laid eyes on you
I knew I was done.
I knew I was captivated and powerless to resist you
You are feel again,
You make me feel alive again
You. I arise
I awaken to the energy you bring
Feeling invincible, this moment?s mine.
Feeling unstoppable and in the present moment
[Chorus]
Refrain or chorus
Strangers, landscapes,
Foreign surroundings and unfamiliar people
See the sky flip inside out,
Surreal experience or perception of reality warping
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you round.
Transmuting negative experiences into positive growth
There's danger in the street,
The world poses threats and risks
That's the beauty in the beast.
Embracing the complexity and duality of life
In a blink of an eye,
In an instant
You seem to get me.
You understand me without explanation
You are my fox and I can't see your eye
You're my seductive mystery
I am the wheel,
I'm the force that propels
The knob of my heart,
The controller of my emotions
I know this road goes back to the star.
I know my journey leads to my destiny
Yellow moon works when everyone's asleep.
Odd or unexplained occurrences happen when no one's looking
Sometimes what you want is just out of reach.
Life doesn't always give you what you desire
How you make me turn around
How you change my perspective and challenge me

In the heart of the city, I'm awake now
And the buzz open to the night
You're the Libertine, you're Philistine
When I first saw you I knew I was done
With you I feel again, with you I arise
Feeling invincible, this moment's mine
Strangest landscapes, see the sky flip inside out
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you 'round
There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast
There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast
In the blink of an eye you seem to get me
You are my first but I can't see your ride
Eye on the wheel another on my heart
I know this road, goes back to the start
With you I feel again, with you I arise
Feeling invincible, this moment's mine
Strangest landscapes, see the sky flip inside out
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you 'round
There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast
There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast
Yellow moon works when everyone's asleep
Sometimes what you want is just out of reach
Strangest landscapes, see the sky flip inside out
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you 'round
There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast
There's danger in the street, that's the beauty in the beast
Strangest landscapes, how you make me come around
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you around
There's danger in the street, there's danger in the street
There's danger in the street, danger in the street
That's the beauty in the beast
