Beautiful
Embracing Inner Beauty: Unveiling the Message of 'Beautiful'
Lyrics
When I look at you it's plain to see
Expressing admiration upon looking at the person, emphasizing their visible qualities.
You have the grace of an angel and the beauty of a dove
Describing the person's grace and beauty with angelic and dove-like qualities.
But now there's a girl staring back at me
Noticing another aspect of the person, possibly a change or inner struggle.
She just can't see what I see
The person is unable to perceive their own beauty as the speaker does.
And she always thinks she's not good enough
Highlighting the person's self-doubt, feeling inadequate despite their beauty.
Don't you know that you're beautiful
Affirming the person's beauty and expressing the speaker's awareness of it.
Don't you know I need you in my life
Stating the speaker's need for the person in their life and declaring love.
That I love you
Reiterating the depth of the speaker's love for the person.
And I will for all time
Committing to love the person indefinitely.
Floating on a breeze
Using imagery of floating on a breeze, portraying a carefree or detached state.
Cannot feel the earth beneath your feet
Sensory description, implying a lack of connection to reality.
I see you fly away further from me
Observing the person moving away, possibly emotionally or physically.
The boys come around and they stay for a while
Noting the presence of others but emphasizing their temporary nature.
But they take what they want and they leave you there in the dust
Warning about people who take advantage and leave the person abandoned.
You want the affection but without the attention
Desire for affection without attracting unwanted attention.
Don't you know that you're beautiful
Reassuring the person of their beauty and the speaker's need for them.
Don't you know I need you in my life
Reiterating the importance of the person in the speaker's life.
That I love you
Expressing enduring love for the person.
And I will for all time
Pledging long-lasting love and commitment.
Fly away little black balloon
Using metaphorical imagery of a black balloon flying away, possibly symbolizing emotional detachment or departure.
Land upon the stars and the moon
Imagining the person landing on distant celestial bodies, emphasizing distance.
Don't you know that you're beautiful
Repeating the affirmation of the person's beauty and the speaker's need for them.
Don't you know I need you in my life
Restating the importance of the person in the speaker's life.
That I love you
Reiterating the depth of the speaker's love for the person.
And I will for all time
Committing to love the person indefinitely, echoing earlier sentiments.
Don't you know that you're beautiful
Reaffirming the person's beauty and the speaker's need for them.
Don't you know I need you in my life
Emphasizing the ongoing importance of the person in the speaker's life.
That I love you
Reiterating the depth of the speaker's love for the person.
And I will for all time
Pledging enduring love and commitment to the person for all time.
