Beautiful People
Mark Pritchard Lyrics

I'll smile careful
I will put on a fake smile, being cautious in front of the people who look good on the outside but might not be the same on the inside

Beautiful people
The people whom the singer is referring to are the ones who might have physical beauty, but that does not imply inner beauty

You know you're there
The people who possess beauty are aware of it, but they might not be as aware of the falseness it brings with it

I can't go back
The singer cannot go back to a time where he/she used to believe that external beauty is everything

To know you're there
The singer refers to the people who possess external beauty being present around them

'Till the love is ours
The singer will continue to carry a fake smile until he/she finds true love and feels like being himself/herself

A flap of the wings
Unexpected things can happen at any moment in time, just like how the flap of the wings of a bird can lead to chaos

And the chaos that it brings
The chaos that is brought due to the unexpected outcomes can affect the singer

I killed my love
The singer regrets having fallen in love with external beauty and killing the love that was inside him/her

Please come to see
The singer requests someone to come and see the pain that he/she is experiencing

To lose no time
The singer does not want to waste any more time being in the same situation and tries to seek help

'Till the light goes off
The singer will continue being cautious until the opportunity comes, that is, until the light goes off

Flies out of the window
Things can change rapidly or disappear like how flies can leave one's presence through the window

But angel stroke your head
Despite the negative thoughts, the singer hopes for good things to happen and someone to come and stroke his/her head like an angel

To know you're there
The presence of someone can bring a sense of comfort and hope in difficult times

To kill for most (in the morning light)
The pursuit of external beauty is something that most people would almost kill for, especially in the morning light where the looks are fresher

To lose your goal
Focusing too much on external beauty can make a person lose sight of his/her true goal in life

And I am fearful
The singer is afraid of the impact of external beauty and the consequences that come with it

Am I'm gonna fly
The singer questions his/her own ability to fly and whether it's worth trying

To the faces I fly
The singer wonders if flying to confront the people with external beauty is worth the effort

I planned everything
The singer has planned to take certain actions to get rid of the impact of external beauty on his/her life

If I had to go
The singer would rather be gone than to fall in the same trap of external beauty again

To lose yourself
Falling in love with external beauty can make one lose his/her true self and become someone else
