The Beautiful Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing 'round like that will drive me crazy.
But why would i want you,
When it's plain you're not ever wanting me?
Well my whole life all i had was this guitar.
Never gonna be lonely when all i have is music in my heart.
Never gonna wanna be something i am not.
'Cause i got music,
and it makes me feel alright.
Got this here music,
and it helps me ease my mind up.
'Cause i got music,
and it takes away the pain.
Got this here music,
and i got it every, every, every day.
Hey my friend's like that,
He drives all those little girls crazy.
Say did you see us,
In the background of the crowd on the TV?
On a summer's day we go and catch some morning waves.
Hanging out with my friends and the vibe can only be ok.
Just like I don't remember rainy days when i was small,
You know i won't remember hatred or nothing at all.
No tempremental alibis,
and I'm not wasting all my time.
And I am looking for the truth in this.
And i don't know just what I'll get, just what ill get.
coz i got this here music
The Beautiful Girls’ song “Music” is a reflection on the beauty and power of music in life. The song initially tells the story of a man who is infatuated with a girl, but knows that she does not reciprocate his feelings. He finds solace in his guitar and music, which he says will never leave him feeling lonely. The chorus emphasizes the healing power of music on the soul, stating that it makes everything feel “alright” and helps to “ease [the] mind up” and “take away the pain.”
The second verse shows the man in a different light, hanging out with his friends on a summer’s day and catching waves. He reflects on how he cannot recall rainy days from his childhood, suggesting that he will forget negativity and hatred as he grows older. The bridge shows the singer’s desire to find truth and fulfillment through music, even though he knows that he cannot predict what he will find along the way. Ultimately, what he returns to is the fact that he has “this here music”, stressing the importance that music plays in his life.
