Becoming Velveteen: Embracing Imperfection and Real Love
Lyrics
Love spoke my name
Love has personally addressed or recognized me
And I felt life run through me
I experienced a renewed sense of vitality
Reborn in the flame
I've undergone a transformative process symbolized by fire
Nothing can undo me
I am now invincible or unaffected by external forces
Ooh, I believe
I have faith in a particular belief or outcome
That I'm becoming
I am in the process of evolving or changing
So if my beauty starts to fade
If my physical attractiveness diminishes
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
I have experienced various forms of affection or support
And if my heart looks broken in
If my emotional state appears shattered
Then I've been brave enough to live
I have been courageous in living my life
If perfect turns to perfect mess
If the pursuit of perfection results in chaos
And all your love is all that's left
Love is the only enduring and meaningful essence
Then I'm as real as real can be
I am authentically genuine despite imperfections
Call me Velveteen
I am named Velveteen, suggesting authenticity and warmth
Shadow and light
Contrasts and contradictions are integral to my identity
I learned to let them find me
I have learned to accept both darkness and light
Coming alive
Finding vitality feels like a challenging but rewarding process
Feels a lot like dying
Reviving oneself can be emotionally intense
Ooh, I believe
I have faith in a particular belief or outcome (repeated)
That I'm becoming
I am in the process of evolving or changing (repeated)
I know it's true no matter
Regardless of circumstances, a certain truth persists
True no matter how
This truth remains constant despite emotional fluctuations
I feel
My feelings don't alter this fundamental truth
'Cause I'm becoming
I am in the process of becoming
I'm becoming real
This becoming is a genuine and authentic process
So if my beauty starts to fade
If my physical attractiveness diminishes (repeated)
If my heart looks broken in
If my emotional state appears shattered (repeated)
So if my beauty starts to fade
If my physical attractiveness diminishes (repeated)
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
I have experienced various forms of affection or support (repeated)
And if my heart looks broken in
If my emotional state appears shattered (repeated)
Then I've been brave enough to live
I have been courageous in living my life (repeated)
If perfect turns to perfect mess
If the pursuit of perfection results in chaos (repeated)
And all your love is all that's left
Love is the only enduring and meaningful essence (repeated)
Then I'm as real as real can be
I am authentically genuine despite imperfections (repeated)
I'm as real as real can be
-Then I'm as real as real can be
-Call me Velveteen
I am named Velveteen, suggesting authenticity and warmth (repeated)
