Beautiful?
illymation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall apart on the floor in the kitchen
You're always there, I don't wanna make you listen
I'd rather do it on my own, try to fix it
Cuz maybe this time it'll be different

Yknow, I've been burned before
You walk over to my door
Late at night when I knew better
The air was getting colder
You saw what I did to my shoulder
Late at night when I knew better

But you say
You're beautiful
And who'da known that I'd believe it?
Beautiful?
But that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

I'd like to say it'll go away with time
But it never really fades on the inside
What does it matter when it's all in your mind?
It's a fight every day to stay alive

And I've tried eight years
To conquer all my fears
But they got worse
Maybe I don't deserve
To be happy in this world
Maybe I deserve to hurt

But you say
You're beautiful
And who'da known that I'd believe it?
Beautiful?
But that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

But if you saw me on the street you wouldn't know
Cuz I'm wearing long sleeves, say I'm cold
It feels bad feeling bad and I'm sorry
I'm a wreck and you're fine, so what are we?

The overpass is close
No one would even know
And no one would even care
I'll call my mom goodbye
I'll probably make her cry
But I won't be here to care

But she says
You're beautiful
So please don't go
You're loved more than you know
That's why you're beautiful
And who'da known that's all I needed?
Beautiful?
You're beautiful
Do you know?
I hope you see it
Beautiful
And that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

Oooooo
Oooooo

Overall Meaning

The song "Beautiful" by Illymation talks about the struggles of dealing with mental health issues and the importance of having someone there to support you. The lyrics mention the singer falling apart in the kitchen and not wanting to burden their loved one with their issues. They prefer to try to fix their problems themselves so that things may turn out differently this time. The song mentions the crippling effects of mental illness and how it continues to haunt you from the inside, making it a daily battle to stay alive.


The singer goes on to talk about how they have been battling their fears for eight years, and yet they have only worsened over time. They begin to wonder if happiness in this world is something they deserve or not. The song takes a dark turn when they contemplate suicide - "The overpass is close, no one would even know. And no one would even care. I'll call my mom goodbye, I'll probably make her cry, but I won't be here to care." However, the singer is pulled back from the brink of despair by their loved one who reminds them that they are beautiful, loved, and that they matter.


The song explores how someone who is dealing with mental illness may be unable to see or feel their worth, but the support of their loved ones can make a massive difference in how they view themselves. The message of the song is that mental illness is not something to be ashamed of and that it's essential to have a support system to get through the toughest moments.

@mikamuis14

I'm going through the same things but i'm getting help and as i was reading comments i taught i could give you some help out of my story❣️

okay so my story is quite the same, i also had depression and then also found out that i was non-binary. so... i did started self harm.
i didnt wanted to talk about it or even come out just like you.
but one day when i was feeling very bad and was feeling my world should end a random guy out of my class saw me sitting and he walked over too me, i didnt know him that wel but somehow i trusted him because i tolt him everything. and after that he helped me with so much
and now about 2 uears later he helped me come out to my parents (they still don't understand but i kinda made a point) and im getting help for my depression. and i feel a lot better

i don't know if you have something from my story but what im trying to say to you is... try to find someone that's not that much in your friend circle and ask them for help
they will fix for you that your mom will let you get therapy or even get you there!

i hope i even helped you (or someone else) just a little bit further when they struggle with depression because that would make my day

i wish you much strongness and love!

(p.s. sorry for bad grammar I am not that good in English)
