Because She's Beautiful
Chasing Shadows of Beauty: Gary Bender's Tale of Yearning and Loss
Lyrics
There's a party tonight and anyone who's anyone will be there
Anticipation builds for a prestigious gathering tonight, drawing the elite.
The cars line up the block so every bachelor can have his shot with the unattainable
High-status individuals aim to impress an attractive, unattainable woman as cars line up.
She said "There's not enough slow songs that can right all his wrongs." The dance is over and so are we
She desires slow songs to mend emotional wounds, signaling the end of a relationship.
I need a suitor who will suit me well; and take some time to find myself
The narrator seeks a suitable partner to explore self-discovery.
And everybody wants her because he lost her
Others covet her due to losing her, creating widespread desire.
And everybody wants her because she's beautiful
Her beauty makes her universally desired.
There's so much more
Implies complexity beyond mere physical beauty.
She's gonna step out of the limelight and into the dark for once
She plans to step away from the public eye, seeking solitude.
The clock is ticking, but she's in no rush tonight
Despite time passing, she remains unhurried.
So boys be patient
A plea for patience from potential suitors.
She knows when she'll decides
She holds the power to decide the timing of her actions.
(She knows when she'll decide)
(Reiteration) Emphasizes her agency in decision-making.
And everybody wants her because he lost her
Reiterates that widespread desire for her stems from loss.
And everybody wants her because she's beautiful
Reaffirms universal desire due to her beauty.
And everybody wants her because he lost her
(Reiteration) Desiring her due to personal loss.
And everybody wants her because she's beautiful
(Reiteration) Universal desire due to her beauty.
There's so much more
Reiterates complexity beyond physical allure.
She's gonna step out of the limelight and into the dark for once
Her decision to step into darkness hints at seeking privacy and introspection.
