Polluted Beauty
Twiddle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The leaves are bursting brightly slowly turning into flame
soon they'll lose their strength shrivel up and turn to gray
the cold takes over little crystals from the sky
a wondrous white blanket covers all throughout the night
in the morning it's the sun sprinklin' glitter all around
the wind blows softly like a lullabye through town
and all this has happened while your mind's preoccupied
it's the ugly way of man that keeps us down and makes us blind
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

From a little tiny ant to the birds up in the sky
We could swim with the dolphins we could climb a mountainside
We could hunt with the lions Lay beneath the stars at night
Procreating our existence underneath the moonlight
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

One great tear splashes down upon the ground
Love paints and magic created life to swim around
The sun burned hotter as the earth grew taller
There was beauty overwhelming all that life had to offer
They crawled above the sky and they crawled above the earth
Life was blooming sweetly as the world was giving birth
the necessities of life were pure and simple in their ways
To sustain and exist, things would love to live each day-ay-ay
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

From a little tiny ant to the birds up in the sky
We could swim with the dolphins we could climb a mountainside
We could hunt with the lions Lay beneath the stars at night
We've been polluting all the beauty that surrounds our daily lives
Technology is killing me It's bleeding me dry
Communication has no patience Radiating inside
Our prophecy's no longer free one great eye in the sky

The sun beams down from the moon like a nightlight shattering the gloom
The sun starts warming up the ground like a warm breath of light beamin' down
The rain starts nourishing the seeds as the sun helps it grow up into trees
The trees give life to all who need so everything on earth can live and breathe
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

You wake up to the shrieks of the angry cars outside
Everybody's way to busy living in this modern life
Always texting driving tweeting into cyber overdrive
It's a hi-def fog blurrin' out the earth's pride
We're the lazy generation our question's answered with a click
to seek out knowledge when it's all at your fingertips
If we just got back to basics put one seed into the earth
We could heal this epidemic save the world before it's cursed
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

From a little tiny ant to the birds up in the sky
We could swim with the dolphins we could climb a mountainside
We could hunt with the lions Lay beneath the stars at night
Procreating our existence underneath the moonlight
We've been polluting all the beauty that surrounds our daily lives
Technology is killing me It's bleeding me dry
Communication has no patience Radiating inside
Our prophesy's no longer free one great eye in the sky
Stop staring at the screens Stop countin' on machines
Start livin' in the world that your eyes were meant to see
We've been polluting our own beauty forgettin' what we shouldn't
We need to keep our bodies happy keep our souls from feelin' empty
The rises in the east and sets in the west
The stars are out at night and the moon it likes the rest
All this is common knowledge which soon will be forgot
Unless we take a second to let the beauty blossom
wooh woh ooh ooh
yeh let that beauty blossom
woh ooh oh
yeh let that beauty blossom
woh ooh oh
woh ooh oh yeh

Overall Meaning

The song Polluted Beauty by Twiddle describes the beauty of nature and how it is being affected by man's ugly ways of polluting and destroying it. The leaves are described as bursting brightly before losing their strength and turning to gray as a metaphor for the fleeting beauty of nature that we often overlook. The cold takes over, bringing little crystals from the sky, which is a reference to snowfall covering the earth like a white blanket. The song also speaks of the wonder and simple joys of life, like swimming with dolphins, hunting with lions, and laying beneath the stars at night. However, the song then speaks of how we are polluting all the beauty that surrounds our daily lives and making ourselves sick with technology instead of living in the world our eyes were meant to see.


The lyrics of the song carry an important message about the need to appreciate and protect nature, and make efforts to reduce pollution so that we can sustain and exist. The song suggests that we should get back to basics by putting one seed into the earth and healing this epidemic, saving the world from being cursed. Through this song, Twiddle expresses that we are living in a hi-def fog, blurring out the earth's pride, and we need to take a moment and let the beauty of nature blossom.
