Born Beautiful
Radiant Dreams and Classless Fates: Born Beautiful Revelations
Lyrics
They were born beautiful, so right away
Expressing that they were inherently beautiful from birth.
They swore that they'd get themselves a house one day
Committing to the goal of owning a house in the future.
And read to each other, despite all the others
Deciding to read to each other, despite external influences.
That have passed through their back gates
Referring to the people who entered their lives but didn't stay.
They were both radiant, and far away
Both partners were radiant and distant.
Living on a diet of romance and faith
Living on a diet of love and belief, emphasizing a romantic lifestyle.
'Til history crept in and wouldn't leave them
History and past experiences intruded, disrupting their idyllic life.
It's a classless kind of fate
Describing the challenges they face as a universal fate, regardless of class.
It holds its ground in the way that death just makes you wait
Suggesting that challenges persist, akin to the inevitability of death.
New fears to edit
Introducing new fears to confront.
The cutting room floor is where their hopes are
Indicating that unfulfilled hopes accumulate in the cutting room of life.
Because it's not pretty
Highlighting the unpleasant reality that contrasts with romantic ideals.
And if you had to watch a movie of it
Imagining the unappealing nature of their life as a movie.
I'm sure you'd both be horrified and bored
Suggesting that an observer would find their story both horrifying and dull.
All the hope that gets shafted
Expressing the disappointment of unrealized hope in pursuing the good life.
To bet on the good life
Using hope as a gamble on achieving a better life.
For all the granite etched in
Describing the enduring nature of their commitment, like an etched monument.
They may as well have been man and wife
Suggesting that their commitment is as significant as a marital relationship.
All the fits he'd throw
Referring to emotional outbursts or tantrums.
Feeling her anger grow
Describing the partner's anger growing in response to fits.
It never gets found, lost in used to be's
Expressing the loss of hope in what used to be, overshadowed by past experiences.
You're left with so much wasted energy
Highlighting the wasted energy resulting from holding onto the past.
So now to cold satellites that have crashed to earth:
Transitioning to a metaphor of cold satellites crashing to earth, representing a harsh reality.
Welcome home.
Welcoming them back to the harsh reality symbolized by crashed satellites.
