The Beautiful
P.M.Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!

In a quest to become colorless
I exhault my eyes with a most profound trust
Yet they are masters at deception
I wonder why... a black 4 leaf clover
Prince be sends a purple valentine again
How does it feel to be some kind of beautiful?

Once more my feelings have succeeded in confusing me
But whats most amusing is
I like the way it looks.

Distorted isn't it?
But its beautiful!
Exceptionally beautiful!
Damn.

How does it feel to be some kind of beautiful?

I drift along in a sea of compulsion
Whether or not I'm dead
I have no idea
I'm standing on a hill that overlooks a meadow
And I'm thinking

Of absolutely nothing
My current mood must resemble electric blue
Its always tranquil, but
It makes me bleed

Question marks constantly arrest my persona
Ironic how that creates one for me
Whatever is whatever

A phenomenon that consists of life and death
Hi Mr. Experience
How was your trip to the moon
I tear my thoughts with my own sarcastically piercing blade
I love you
Because you make me sick

Distorted isn't it?




But its beautiful!
Exceptionally beautiful!

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song, “In a quest to become colorless, I exalt my eyes with a most profound trust, yet they are masters at deception, I wonder why… a black 4 leaf clover, Prince be sends a purple valentine again,” depicts the struggle of an individual trying to fit in, trying to be part of the world where everything is colorful, but failing to do so. The mention of the black 4 leaf clover and the purple valentine, both being out of the ordinary items, signifies the singer’s desire to escape conformity and seek out a unique identity. The second verse, “Once more, my feelings have succeeded in confusing me, but what’s most amusing is I like the way it looks,” reveals the internal conflict, where the person is confused about their identity but secretly enjoys the uniqueness that it brings.


The chorus, “How does it feel to be some kind of beautiful?” further emphasizes the meaning of the song. Beauty is often perceived in a certain way, and people are judged based on these preconceived notions of beauty. The song questions this perception and acknowledges the beauty in being unconventional. The line “I tear my thoughts with my own sarcastically piercing blade. I love you because you make me sick,” illustrates the complexity of human emotions, where love and pain coexist, and the singer is drawn to it.


Overall, the song delves into the introspective thoughts of an individual who is trying to find their place in the world, but at the same time, tries to embrace the beauty in being unconventional.

This is one of the most unique songs ever created. Its nice in a weird way and very abstract. It takes an "abnormal" mind to really understand what the message is but whatever it is.....It's Beautiful.
