Beautiful
Labrinth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You tell all the boys no
Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh no
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Oh, tonight

I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling
But that's okay
'Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
'Cause I wanna see you say
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, tonight, see beneath your beautiful




Oh, tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect, no
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Labrinth's song "Beneath Your Beautiful" send a powerful message about the importance of vulnerability in human relationships. The singer recognizes the girl's tendency to shut others out and puts himself out there by asking her to let him see beneath her facade--to see both her flaws and her beauty. He's willing to risk the possibility of rejection because he recognizes that true connection requires authenticity and vulnerability.


The song also explores the theme of societal expectations and the pressure to present oneself as "perfect." In particular, the line "Behind your Broadway show, I heard a voice say please don't hurt me" suggests that the girl is putting on a performance for the world to see, but is actually struggling emotionally. The singer wants to see through this facade and connect with her on a deeper level.


Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace vulnerability and authenticity in their relationships, recognizing that true beauty lies beneath the surface.

@@d.r.carmel BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.
