Beautiful People
Sam Ock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Iโm feelinโ good, hope the feelings are mutual
If not, well I got the remedy, the cure
Donโt get it twisted, my intentions are pure
I just want to address an ongoing issue
we all struggle with it, maybe with tears and tissues
misusing adjectives, the name of the game
calling some people beautiful and other people plain
putting things on pedestals which are truly inane
got the new kicks and clothes but we still complain
are we really afraid of being some kind of โlameโ
well, Iโm a messenger with something to say
you, yes you are beautiful in every way
donโt let the world tell you anything else
and put a big smile on, โcause itโs good for your health (and sing)
even when the sun goes down
I will shine and spread my love around
even when the moon goes out
I will shine and give my love, my love to you!
now Iโm not trying to say that your troubles go away
Iโm just trying to tell you that youโre lookinโ nice today
even with your sweatpants on
your big, bright smile makes my worries go gone!
I think we all forget how far our words go
mean things to say can make a nice day ice cold
we all know the small things in life:
the smiles, the compliments, that help us get by
so please take this song as a gentle reminder
that life is much BRIGHTER if youโre generally kinder
so once youโve done said it, you canโt hit rewind
and just remember, words are the gates to the mind
and the soul; love is what fills the holes
in the gaps of the hearts that will break the old mold
if youโre resonating with me that love matters the most
from me to you, then I do propose this toast (and so we sing)
The lyrics of Sam Ock's song "Beautiful People" may seem superficial at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they reveal a deeper message about societal beauty standards and the ways in which we uplift and tear down one another with our words. The song is directed towards Mr. Handsome and Ms. Real Beautiful, the seemingly perfect and conventionally attractive individuals that many people strive to be like or be with. Ock acknowledges feeling good when in their presence but stresses that his intentions are pure and that he also wants to address a pervasive issue within our society.
The ongoing issue that Ock references is the misuse of adjectives and the assigning of value based on physical appearances. He argues that it is insane to put things like material possessions or physical beauty on pedestals when they are ultimately meaningless. Ock also notes that even when people do attain these things, they still find a reason to complain or fear being perceived as "lame."
The heart of the song is a reminder to listeners that they are beautiful in every way and that small acts of kindness and positivity can have a tremendous impact on one's well-being. Ock emphasizes that words matter and that they have the power to break or mend hearts. By spreading love and kindness, we can help bridge gaps and create a brighter world.

About 10 years ago, my dad often listened to sam ock's songs, so I started listening to them too. I still can't forget listening to this song with my family, especially in the car at night. As time passed, the feelings I felt at that time became one of my precious memories. Time passes, but the good is still there. You are my role model!
