Mathieu Bouthier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Repair machine is set in my hand
Escape and show me wonders undefined
Because I need to feel the heat
Here come the better version of me
It's all bout here and now not what's gone by
So come on take my hand let's run towards the light
Something real, something good, something beautiful's inside
Something real, something good, something beautiful and it is hidden in the night
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
It's not enough to wait on the door
It's in the shadows I am reborn
I know I'll find my freedom in the crowd
And my heaven underground
Come with me and run towards the light
Something beautiful must be inside
Show me something wonderful tonight
Some kind of beautiful
To see the light,
(See the light, the light, the light, the light, the light...)
So come on take my hand let's run towards the light
Something real, something good, something beautiful is inside
And when I feel this way, I know I need to find
Something real, something good, something beautiful and it is hidden in the night
Lalalalala

The lyrics of "Beautiful" by Mathieu Bouthier ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor speak of finding something real, good and beautiful from a place of darkness and uncertainty. The singer talks about trusting the night and finding wonders that are undefined, perhaps indicating a willingness to step out of their comfort zone and explore the unknown. With a repair machine in hand, the singer brings a sense of agency to the situation - their efforts to find something beautiful are purposeful and driven.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of urgency - the better version of the singer is here and now, not in the past. The repetition of "something real, something good, something beautiful" reinforces the idea that finding these things is essential to the singer's wellbeing. The lyrics "It's in the shadows I am reborn / I know I'll find my freedom in the crowd / And my heaven underground" suggest that the singer finds liberation in dark, underground spaces where they can truly be themselves. Ultimately, the song encourages the listener to join the singer in their quest for beauty and wonder.
Overall, "Beautiful" is a song about seeking out something life-affirming and meaningful, even in the face of uncertainty and darkness. The lyrics convey a sense of determination and hope that make the song feel empowering.

Trust the night is my friend
I have faith in the night and its ability to comfort me

Because I need to feel the heat

It's not enough to wait on the door
Waiting for opportunities to come to me is insufficient
It's in the shadows I am reborn
Out of the darkness, a new and improved version of myself emerges
I know I'll find my freedom in the crowd
My liberation is found in the midst of a group of people
And my heaven underground
A place of happiness and contentment is where I least expect it
Come with me and run towards the light
Join me on this journey towards positivity and happiness
Something beautiful must be inside
Surely, something breathtaking lies within me
Show me something wonderful tonight
Display something marvelous to me under the guise of darkness
Some kind of beautiful
A form of startling and exquisite beauty
To see the light, (See the light, the light, the light, the light, the light...)
To achieve enlightenment and understanding
So come on take my hand let's run towards the light
Join me on this journey towards positivity and happiness
Something real, something good, something beautiful is inside
There is something genuine, positive, and exquisite within me
And when I feel this way, I know I need to find
When I feel this sense of yearning, I know I must seek out
Something real, something good, something beautiful and it is hidden in the night
Something meaningful, positive, and stunning is concealed in the dark
