You Are The Only Beautiful Thing
Eternal Beauty Amid Chaos: Joshua Bond's Poetic Revelation
Lyrics
Summer thunder, evening rain
Various contrasting elements in nature are mentioned, symbolizing the unpredictability of life.
Sunny showers, dying flame
More contrasting elements, suggesting the fleeting and transient nature of experiences.
Doesn't matter, looks the same
Despite differences, everything appears similar, possibly highlighting the speaker's unique perspective.
You are the only beautiful thing
The central theme is introduced - the person addressed is the only beautiful thing amidst chaos.
Friendly spiders, evil nuns
Mention of both positive and negative elements, emphasizing the dualities in life.
Poison flowers, plastic guns
More contrasting images, suggesting a complex and multifaceted existence.
Live for hours all at once
The idea of living intensely and fully is conveyed.
You are the only beautiful thing
Reiteration of the central theme that the person is the speaker's source of beauty.
You woke me up to tell me we had to wake up early
A disruption in the routine is highlighted, possibly indicating a wake-up call or realization.
You woke me up with your screaming
A negative disruption involving screaming, suggesting conflict or tension.
You shook me up and told me they arrived early
Another disruption, possibly the arrival of unwelcome events or challenges.
I heard the drop, I was hoping I was dreaming
The speaker experiences a disturbing event and hopes it's just a bad dream.
Something shatters, homes destroyed
Mentions of destruction and chaos, portraying a grim picture.
Sudden laughter, drones deployed
Introduction of military or technological elements, adding to the sense of upheaval.
Forever after, through the void
Despite challenges, the speaker envisions a lasting connection through difficulties.
You are the only beautiful thing
Reaffirmation that the addressed person is the only beautiful thing, emphasizing their importance.
Stop and listen, form a line
Call to pause, notice, and conform to a certain order or discipline.
Steady rhythm, march in time
Emphasis on a steady and synchronized pace in life.
Stars may glisten, and bullets shine
Acknowledgment of external beauty but assertion that the person is more significant.
But you are the only beautiful thing
Repetition of the central theme amid cosmic references.
Spinning arrows, graceful flight
Mention of dynamic and potentially dangerous situations, yet beauty persists.
Shining barrel, a flash of light
Imagery involving weaponry and conflict, emphasizing the intensity of the struggle.
And to our peril, this gorgeous fight
The beauty of the fight despite its perilous nature.
But you are the only beautiful thing
Restatement of the person's unique beauty amidst adversity.
You sat me down and told me there's no point in running
A moment of truth where the speaker is confronted with a harsh reality.
You sat me down so I'd understand
A deliberate attempt to make the speaker understand a difficult situation.
We heard the sound that warned us worse things were coming
A warning about impending challenges, with a shared experience of fear.
It shook the ground, and you took my hand
A bonding moment in the face of adversity, with physical support offered.
Hold your lover, target hit
Instructions to hold onto what matters most when confronted with danger.
Run for cover, blown to bits
An urgent need to seek shelter or protection as a destructive event unfolds.
And with a burst of colour, the atom splits
A vivid description of a catastrophic event, contrasted with bursts of color.
But you are the only beautiful thing
Reiteration of the enduring beauty of the person despite the chaos.
