Came So Far for Beauty
Journey of Sacrifice: Unveiling the Quest for Beauty
Lyrics
I came so far for beauty
I undertook a significant journey in pursuit of beauty.
I left so much behind
I abandoned many things in the process.
My patience and my family
I sacrificed my patience and severed ties with my family.
My masterpiece unsigned
My most significant work remains unsigned and unrecognized.
I thought I'd be rewarded
I expected to be rewarded for making a lonely and challenging choice.
For such a lonely choice
Anticipating acknowledgment for a seemingly hopeless endeavor.
And maybe he would answer
Hoping for a response, perhaps from someone special.
To such a hopeless voice
A voice filled with despair, seeking recognition.
I practiced all my sainthood
I adhered to virtuous behavior and practiced saintliness.
I gave to one and all
I generously gave to everyone.
But the rumors of my virtue
Rumors of my virtue did not influence him in any way.
They moved him not at all
His indifference to my moral character.
I changed my style to silver
I changed my appearance to something more precious, like silver.
I changed my clothes to black
Adopted a darker attire to signify a shift in my approach.
And where I would surrender
Where I once surrendered, I now confront and challenge.
Now I would attack
A transformation from passivity to assertiveness.
I stormed the old casino
I aggressively entered an old casino for both money and pleasure.
For the money and for the flesh
Seeking material wealth and physical desires.
And I myself decided
Personally determining what is corrupt and what is fresh.
What was rotten, what was fresh
Taking control and making decisions autonomously.
And men to do my bidding
Using others to carry out my wishes.
And broken bones to teach
Inflicting harm and teaching lessons through broken bones.
The value of my pardon
Emphasizing the value of my forgiveness and the extent of my influence.
The shadow of my reach
The influence of my power and authority.
But no, I could not touch him
Despite my efforts, I couldn't control him with force.
With such a heavy hand
Unable to impose my will with a heavy hand.
His star beyond my order
His success and status transcended my command.
His nakedness unmanned
His vulnerability and exposure were beyond my influence.
I came so far for beauty
Reiteration of the significant distance traveled for beauty.
I left so much behind
Reaffirmation of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of beauty.
My patience and my family
Recalling the sacrifices of patience and family.
My masterpiece unsigned
Highlighting the unsigned status of my masterpiece.
