Beautiful People
Sara Farell Lyrics

L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
It's a typical weekend night in Los Angeles. People are looking to have fun.

Sundown, and they all come out
As the sun sets, people come alive and get ready to party.

Lamborghinis and their rented Hummers
Some people flaunt their wealth and status by driving expensive cars.

The party's on, so they're headin' downtown
Everyone's going to the party in the city center where they can show off and be seen.

Everybody's lookin' for a come up
Most of the people there are trying to make a name for themselves and gain more recognition.

And they wanna know what you're about
People want to find out who you are, what you do, and how you fit into their world.

Me in the middle with the one I love and
The singer is with her significant other, and they are together in the midst of everything.

We're just tryin' to figure everything out
They are trying to figure out how they fit in and why they feel out of place in this world of beautiful people.

We don't fit in well
They don't feel like they belong in this world of luxury and wealth.

'Cause we are just ourselves
They don't pretend to be something they're not just to fit in.

I could use some help
The singer wants to leave the current conversation and situation.

Gettin' out of this conversation, yeah
The singer doesn't want to talk about things that don't matter or that make them uncomfortable.

You look stunning, dear
The singer is complimenting their significant other and acknowledging their beauty.

So don't ask that question here
The singer doesn't want to talk about superficial things in a world full of people who are only concerned with their image and status.

This is my only fear, that we become
The singer is afraid of getting caught up in the world and becoming just like everyone else.

Beautiful people
The term 'beautiful people' refers to those who are wealthy, powerful, and influential.

Drop top, designer clothes
People who have everything and can afford to dress in the latest, high-end designer clothing.

Front row at fashion shows
The ultimate expression of status and wealth, to be seen at the front row of a designer fashion show.

"What d'you do?" and, "Who d'you know?"
People who are only interested in your job and who you know, rather than who you are as a person.

Inside the world of beautiful people
A world that exists within a larger society, where people are obsessed with wealth, status, and image.

Champagne and rolled-up notes
The excessive lifestyle of the wealthy, where the drinking of champagne and using rolled-up notes to snort drugs are commonplace.

Prenups and broken homes
Marriages are reduced to mere financial transactions, and many homes are broken due to greed and dishonesty.

Surrounded, but still alone
Even though there are many people around, people can still feel lonely, lost and disconnected from each other.

Let's leave the party
The singer and her significant other want to leave this world of superficiality and materialism.

That's not who we are
The singer doesn't identify with the shallow, soulless world of the 'beautiful people.'

(We are, we are, we are)
Reinforcement of the fact that they know who they are and they're comfortable with themselves.

We are not beautiful
They don't fit the typical image of what society deems as 'beautiful people,' and they don't want to conform to that image.

Yeah, that's not who we are
Reinforcement of the fact that they have their own identity that doesn't conform to societal norms.

(We are, we are, we are)
Reinforcement of the fact that they know who they are and they're comfortable with themselves.

We are not beautiful
They don't fit the typical image of what society deems as 'beautiful people,' and they don't want to conform to that image.
