Young and Pretty
Navigating Desires and Realities: Young and Pretty Unveiled
Lyrics
I’m among those desperate faces
I find myself in a group of desperate individuals.
Say what desperate faces say
Expressing what desperate individuals typically express.
The life that I accused you of
Referring to a life that was criticized before, but now I am experiencing it.
I’m living it myself today
I am currently living the life that I once accused you of.
I no longer wish for changes
I no longer desire or hope for changes.
I no longer disagree
I no longer have disagreements or conflicts.
Drag myself along the hallway
I move through life with difficulty, perhaps feeling sluggish or depressed.
Paintings making fun of me
Artistic representations mock or taunt me as I traverse the hallway.
When you’re young and pretty
Describing the perspective when one is young and attractive.
The world is real
The world seems authentic and tangible.
Full of pain and pleasure
The world is filled with both pain and pleasure.
When you’re young and pretty
Reiterating the perspective of being young and attractive.
Your wounds won’t come in handy
When you're no longer young and pretty, past wounds lose their significance.
Once you’re back on your own
After returning to independence, previous wounds become irrelevant.
They’ll turn your trust against you
Trust, once regained, can be used against you.
And you’re split in half
You end up torn apart by a sudden revelation or realization.
By a sunshine’s ray
Symbolizing a turning point caused by a bright and unexpected event.
I’m among those desperate faces
Similar to the first stanza, feeling desperate and expressing it.
Say what desperate faces say
Reiterating the expressions of desperate individuals.
Once you stick around too long
Once you stay in one place for too long, someone takes away the beauty or joy.
Someone takes the scenery down
Someone removes the positive elements of your surroundings after a prolonged stay.
When you’re young and pretty
Repeating the earlier perspective of youth and beauty.
The world is real
The world is genuine and filled with both joy and pain for the young and pretty.
Full of pain and pleasure
Emphasizing the dual nature of life's experiences for the young and attractive.
When you’re young and pretty
Restating the viewpoint of being young and pretty.
Young and pretty
Summarizing the essence of being young and attractive.
