Beauty Is the Beast
Love's Deception: Unraveling the Beauty in the Beast
Lyrics
I'll sweat you out of my system
I will cleanse myself of your influence through intense effort
I'm not playing your game
I won't participate in your manipulative actions
With hearts on the line
In relationships, with emotions at stake
You're always on the winning end
You always come out as the victor
I'll sweat you out of my system
Reiteration of the determination to rid oneself of the other's influence
I'm not playing your game
Reaffirming the refusal to engage in manipulative behaviors
With hearts on the line
Emphasizing the emotional stakes in relationships
You're always on the winning end
Highlighting the other's consistent advantage in relationships
Are they merchants of love
Questioning if those in love are genuine or if they conceal negative traits
Or are there demons residing under their skin
Speculating about hidden flaws beneath the surface of those in love
We'll fall for their bluffs
Expecting to be deceived repeatedly in romantic relationships
Over and over, again and again
Expressing a cyclical pattern of falling for deception
Don't wanna hear about the time you spent
Rejecting the desire to hear about past romantic experiences
With him and all the things you said but never meant them
Discrediting previous statements and expressions of affection
Guess that all the stories are wrong
Casting doubt on the authenticity of romantic narratives
Cause Beauty is the beast in this one
Contradicting the conventional idea that beauty signifies goodness
So beautiful but toxic
Describing an attractive but harmful person
They'll lure you in and fuck with your head
Warning about being ensnared mentally by deceptive individuals
Until you're love drunk and caught
Describing the feeling of being captivated and deceived in love
You're the fly in their web
Metaphorically depicting the listener as trapped in a deceptive situation
So stop, come on
Encouraging the listener to cease involvement in the harmful relationship
You know a heart ain't meant to be ripped to shreds
Recognizing the destructive nature of tearing apart someone's heart
Now this town is dark and you're seared in the walls
Depicting a gloomy atmosphere in the aftermath of a failed relationship
With everyday I'll hope to forget
Expressing a desire to forget painful memories
And I'll forget
Reiterating the intention to forget
Don't wanna hear about the time you spent
Repeating the rejection of hearing about past romantic experiences
With him and all the things you said but never meant them
Reiterating the lack of credibility in past statements of affection
Guess that all the stories are wrong
Reinforcing skepticism towards conventional romantic narratives
Cause Beauty is the beast in this one
Repeating the assertion that beauty can mask negative qualities
You're just a stray, a saint
Describing the other as a lost and fallen person
That got lost in the world along the way, a shame
Expressing regret for the other's negative journey in life
You've been tearing it down on all we've made
Accusing the other of destroying what was built in the relationship
Too proud to ever take the blame
Highlighting the other's unwillingness to take responsibility
We both know that it's all over
Acknowledging the end of the relationship
So when will we stop hoping
Expressing frustration with unfulfilled hopes
So sick of hearing about the time you spent
Reiterating the aversion to hearing about past romantic experiences
With him and all the things you said but you never meant
Reiterating the lack of credibility in past expressions of affection
Guess that all the stories are wrong
Reinforcing skepticism towards conventional romantic narratives
And Beauty you're the beast in this one
Repeating the assertion that beauty can mask negative qualities
Don't wanna hear it I just can't, I can't handle it
Expressing the inability to handle hearing certain things
Your words mean nothing but I'll always fall for it
Acknowledging vulnerability to deceptive words despite their emptiness
Guess that all your stories are wrong
Reinforcing skepticism towards conventional romantic narratives
And Beauty you're the beast in this one
Repeating the assertion that beauty can mask negative qualities
Cause Beauty you're the bitch in this one
Affirming that the attractive person is also unpleasant in this context
