Beautiful
The Drown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Senses fear
Chills up my spine
I know you're here
It's been so long
So what did you expect?
I know where you've been
And I disrespect
I choke and spit up words
They all mean nothing
It's all absurd
Your body has been used up
Your mind has changed direction
I can't believe I touched you
I can't believe it
Inside I wish it wasn't true
It makes it hard to look at you
Ugly I feel
My body's inside you
Tongue in, tongue out
I can taste him on you
You're naked as a child
Your innocence is gone
Given away for nothing
And I hate what's left
Inside I wish it wasn't true
It makes it hard to look at you
I close my eyes; I close my mind
But it makes nothing go away
Look back in anger
Look back in pain
Look back in disrespect
It's you I can't respect
I look back in anger
And it's so hard to look back
I close my eyes; I close my mind
But it makes nothing go away
The lyrics of The Drown's song "Beautiful" are haunting, visceral and intense. The song speaks of a sense of betrayal and disgust, as the singer encounters someone who has clearly been through a harrowing experience. The singer's senses are heightened, and they can sense fear coming off the other person. The lyrics are full of disgust as the singer realizes that this person's body has been used up and their mind has gone in a different direction. The singer feels physically sick and can barely speak. They close their eyes and mind, but it makes nothing go away. It's clear that whatever the other person has been through has left them broken, while the singer cannot reconcile with the situation.
The lyrics conjure a sense of shock, pain, and heartbreak. The raw emotions in the lyrics make the narration of the song come alive. It echoes the betrayal and disgust that the singer feels, with the use of words like "ugly" and "disrespect." The lyrics describe a situation of someone who has lost their innocence and their sense of self. The pain and depravity of what has been lost is evident in the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
Like an animal
With instincts as raw as those of an animal
Senses fear
Able to detect fear in the air
Chills up my spine
The feeling of fear sends shivers down my back
I know you're here
I am aware of your presence
It's been so long
It has been a considerable amount of time
So what did you expect?
What was your expectation?
I know where you've been
I am aware of your past actions
And I disrespect
I have no respect for you
I feel sickened
A feeling of being disgusted
I choke and spit up words
Struggling to express myself
They all mean nothing
My words hold no weight
It's all absurd
The situation is ridiculous
Your body has been used up
Your body has been mistreated
Your mind has changed direction
Your thoughts have taken a different course
I can't believe I touched you
Regret for having any physical contact with you
I can't believe it
Unable to comprehend the situation
Inside I wish it wasn't true
Internally hoping everything was just a bad dream
It makes it hard to look at you
Difficult to face you
Ugly I feel
A sense of ugliness fills me
My body's inside you
Disgusted by the thought of being connected to you physically
Tongue in, tongue out
A graphic memory of past events
I can taste him on you
Detecting the presence of another person on you
You're naked as a child
Physically exposed and vulnerable
Your innocence is gone
The purity you once had is lost
Given away for nothing
Sacrificed without any reward
And I hate what's left
The bitterness is directed toward what remains of you
I close my eyes; I close my mind
Trying to block out the traumatic memory
But it makes nothing go away
Unsuccessful in escaping the reality
Look back in anger
Reflecting on the situation with feelings of anger
Look back in pain
The memory is associated with emotional pain
Look back in disrespect
Looking back with a sense of disrespect for what happened
It's you I can't respect
The disrespect is directed toward you specifically
And it's so hard to look back
The memory is hard to bear

What was your favorite part about filming this video? I’d imagine dressing up in different costumes was a lot of fun!

I'm new to this band and I absolutely love them. I like how they all look like mythical beings. Like Kota looks like a fairy, and Tommy and Tim look like vampires and Alicia looks like a valkyrie or an enchanter.
Bad Wolf
Love your feedback! Thank you Delaine!

Which one is Tommy and which one is Tim? Soory, I'm new :)
