So Beautiful
Savage Garden(野人花园) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whether I'm right or wrong
There's no phrase that hits
Like an ocean needs the sand
Or a dirty old shoe that fits
And if all the world was perfect
I would only ever want to see your scars
You know they can have their universe
We'll be in the dirt designing stars

And darlin' you know
You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful

Whether I'm up or down
There's no crowd to please
I'm like a faith without a clause to believe in it
And if all the world was smiling
I would only ever want to see your frown
You know they can sail away in sunsets
We'll be right here stranded on the ground
Just happy to be found

You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful

I have lost my illusions
I have drowned in your words
I have left my confusion to a cynical world
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand
Discover enlightenment holding your hand

You are
So beautiful





Yeah darlin' you know!
That you make me feel so beautiful

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Savage Garden's song "So Beautiful" express a deep love and appreciation for a person's imperfections, transforming them into something beautiful. The lyrics draw a comparison between the connection between two people to the natural harmony found in the ocean and sand or a dirty old shoe that fits perfectly. In a world where perfection is sought after, the singer chooses to value the flaws and scars of the person they love. The lyrics also suggest a level of contentment with being together, even if they are stranded on the ground while others sail away.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the impact of the person the singer is addressing has had on them, making them feel beautiful and complete regardless of where they are in life. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and surrender to this person, suggesting that they have found enlightenment or a deeper understanding of themselves through their love. The song ends with a repetition of the sentiment expressed in the chorus, reinforcing the idea that this person makes the singer feel beautiful, and there is nowhere else they would rather be.

Darren has one of the most beautiful male voices on the planet! I could listen to him for hours on end!

@AlejandroFranceschi

This is, by far, one of the best love songs ever written and performed.

It’s 2023! I can’t stop listening to the legendary Darren Hayes!

Likewise, he's not bad looking either. I was so shocked when he "came out of the closet!"
