Beautiful Disease
Maxeen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Small things
makes halos around your head
I know for you I am still yearning
The feelings are not dead
Cause I feel myself falling forward
With no knot there to rescue me
Cause when I love, is killing me
You're a beautiful disease,
The sicker I get, the better I feel
There is no cure, no medication
I suffer with you on my own
I know I'm cursed with infatuation
As I wait by the telephone
Cause I feel myself falling forward
With no knot there to rescue me
My favorite misery
Cause when I love, is killing me
You're a beautiful disease,
The sicker I get, the better I feel
You're a beautiful disease,
The sicker I get, the better I feel
You're killing me
Cause I feel myself falling forward
With no knot there to rescue me
My favorite misery
Cause when I love, is killing me
You're a beautiful disease,
The sicker I get, the better I feel
You're a beautiful disease,
The sicker I get, the better I feel
You're killing me
The lyrics to Maxeen's song "Beautiful Disease" are a poignant representation of the paradoxical nature of love, particularly toxic relationships. The opening lines of "My lipstick cigarette's still burning / small things make halos around your head" illustrate the singer's obsession with the object of their affection, despite the negative impact it has on their well-being. The phrase "small things make halos around your head" suggests a romanticized perception of their lover, almost as if they are an angelic being. However, this perception is likely distorted and amplified by the singer's intense emotional attachment.
The chorus, "You're a beautiful disease, The sicker I get, the better I feel" further emphasizes the singer's self-destructive tendencies in relationships. They liken their lover to a disease that they cannot resist, even though it is slowly killing them. The line "There is no cure, no medication / I suffer with you on my own" highlights the sense of isolation and desperation that often accompanies toxic relationships. Despite knowing the damage it causes, the singer cannot bring themselves to let go.
In conclusion, "Beautiful Disease" is a powerful exploration of the complexities of love, particularly the allure of unhealthy relationships. It conveys the idea that sometimes, the things we crave the most can also be the most harmful to us.
