Beauty
Layto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember what you taught us
And I know it's been a while
But I'm tired of being honest
I just really need you now
I just need a safe bet
I just need to cozy up i just need to forget
And time, just really want time
And they're runnin' through my mind
And so and so although I know
How she gonna love
Old beauty comin' back home
Beauty, baby imma go crazy
You turnin' me into a fiend
I just wanna doze off lately
I wanna feel hazy oh it's so so sweet
But baby leave me beauty, baby
Imma go crazy you turnin' me into a fiend
I just wanna doze off lately
I wanna feel hazy oh it's so so sweet
But baby leave me
You know that feeling when you miss so much
Your stomach's in a knot
You know that pinpoint ain't exacto
When you started with this thought
But like a cape to me became a great to me
We always talked when everybody hated me
You see
All my friends they're tryin' to be
What mom and dad spent time to see
But you and me we never went home
I never was alone
I've seen some beauty never known
I remember back then, oh
Back then when the high was free
Beauty, baby i'm a little hazy
Please don't come to me miss beauty queen
I remember back then, oh
Back then when the high was free
Beauty, baby i'm a little hazy
Please don't come to me miss beauty queen
Beauty, baby imma go crazy
You turnin' me into a fiend
I just wanna doze off lately
I wanna feel hazy oh it's so so sweet
But baby leave me beauty, baby
Imma go crazy you turnin' me into a feign
I just wanna doze off lately
I wanna feel hazy oh it's so so sweet
But baby leave me
The song "Beauty" by Layto is an emotional and heartfelt composition that deals with the topic of missing someone or something and craving it back. The opening line, "Beauty queen goddess, I remember what you taught us," reflects the singer's admiration for a person or an experience, which had a significant impact on his life. He remembers the lessons he learned from this individual and how they helped shape his perspective on things. But now, he is tired of being honest and wants to go back to the comforting feeling of being around that person or experience. The lyrics, "I just need a safe bet, I just need to cozy up, I just need to forget" signify his yearning for a peaceful and secure environment in the presence of the subject.
Throughout the song, the singer describes his current mental state, where his mind is clouded with a million thoughts, and he is unable to focus. He craves time to sort his thoughts and gain some clarity. The line "All my friends they're tryin' to be, what mom and dad spent time to see, but you and me we never went home, I never was alone," highlights the singer's feeling of being different from the others and his connection to the subject. He feels that he was never truly alone, and the person or experience was always there for him.
The chorus of the song, "Beauty, baby, I'm a little hazy, please don't come to me, miss beauty queen" repeats throughout the song and signifies the singer's mixed feelings towards the subject. He misses the person, but at the same time, he is aware that their presence could make him lose control and fall deeper into his emotional turmoil.
