Sex Sells
Beyond Beauty: Crude Virtue's Reflection on Vanity and Corporate Desires
Lyrics
I wanna be beautiful
I aspire to be attractive
Adonis and Venus divine
Desire to embody the beauty of Adonis and Venus
Crystallise my dedication
Expressing a commitment to solidify dedication
To the legacy I leave behind
Commitment to creating a lasting legacy
And then my flesh sinks in
Body becoming one with the self
Melts into my bone
Flesh merging with bones
And the media put me on a throne
Media placing the individual in a position of influence
All I care about is losing weight
Primary concern is losing weight
But who cares for dying when you look this great?
Downplaying the significance of mortality in the pursuit of physical perfection
I give myself as an offering to the feast
Offering oneself as a commodity to societal expectations
I'm a commodity
Viewing oneself as a marketable product
I'm just fuel to the fire of another corporate industry
Being a mere component in the profit-driven corporate machinery
While my helpless lovers stand by watching and weep
Depicting the emotional toll on those who care about the individual
Sex sells honey, choose your meat
Highlighting the power of sex appeal as a market force
I wanna be an idol
Desire to be an admired figure
Such perfect imagery
Yearning for a flawless image
It'll all be for nothing
Concern about being forgotten if not remembered
If you don't remember me
Emphasizing the importance of leaving a lasting impression
And then my heart gives in
Heart surrendering to external pressures
At the start of the day
Vulnerability at the beginning of each day
Please don't let me fade away
Plea not to be forgotten or overlooked
So consumed in my own vanity
Excessive focus on personal appearance
Until all that's left is just my memory
Transformation into a memory due to self-absorption
I give myself as an offering to the feast
Repeated reference to offering oneself as a commodity
I'm a commodity
Reiteration of being viewed as a marketable item
I'm just fuel to the fire of another corporate industry
Reinforcing the idea of being fuel for profit-driven industries
While my helpless lovers stand by watching and weep
Repeating the impact on those emotionally invested in the individual
Sex sells honey, choose your meat
Reemphasizing the influence of sex appeal in the marketplace
I give myself as an offering to the feast
Reiteration of offering oneself as a commodity
I'm a commodity
Reemphasis on being a marketable entity in the corporate system
I'm just fuel to the fire of another corporate industry
Restating the idea of being fuel for profit-driven industries
While my helpless lovers stand by watching and weep
Repeating the emotional impact on those connected to the individual
Sex sells honey, choose your meat
Reemphasizing the power of sex appeal in influencing choices
