Taller Beauty
Time's Reflection: Transformations of Beauty and Youth
Lyrics
You dyed your hair this year
You changed your hair color this year.
You didn't like the color
You were dissatisfied with the chosen color.
Looked the same to me
The change wasn't noticeable to the speaker.
The same, but only darker
It looked the same, just darker.
You cut your hair last year
You had a haircut last year.
I find it makes you taller
The speaker feels the haircut makes you appear taller.
And your face looks smooth
Post-haircut, your face appears smoother.
You really do look younger
Overall, you seem younger to the speaker.
And you envied me once truly
Once, you truly envied the speaker.
For my youth and all my beauty
The envy was due to the speaker's youth and beauty.
It was nice of you to tell me
You expressed this sentiment to the speaker.
Oh I wonder why you told me
The speaker wonders about the motive behind your disclosure.
And I wish you would've seen me more
The speaker wishes you had spent more time with them.
In the letter you sent me once
In a letter, you shared your experiences and adventures.
You wrote of all you'd seen and done
You mentioned missing the speaker.
Said that you quite missed me
The speaker grew their hair out during this time.
Me, I grew my hair out
The hair dye applied by the speaker is fading.
And the dye is almost gone now
The speaker has undergone significant personal growth.
But I've grown too much since then
You believe the speaker has lost their youth.
And you think my youth is gone
You acknowledge both positive and negative aspects of this loss.
But said that's good and bad
The acknowledgment saddens the speaker.
Though this makes me kind of sad
The speaker reflects on your comments.
It was nice of you to tell me
Similar to line 11, the speaker questions the intent behind your words.
Oh I wonder why you told me?
The speaker wonders again about the reason behind your statement.
But I wish you would have left me alone
You are requested to have left the speaker alone.
