Everything of Beauty
Embracing Ugliness: Les Deuxluxes' Powerful Message of Liberation in 'Everything of Beauty'
Lyrics
Everything of beauty has already been done
Existing beautiful creations or acts have been accomplished already.
It's time to let the ugly roam free
It's time to allow the unattractive or less conventional aspects to have freedom.
Everything of beauty has already been gunned
Beautiful things have already been subjected to destruction or attack.
It's time to let the ugly roam free
Time to give space and freedom to what's considered unattractive or unconventional.
Roam free
Emphasis on the idea of liberating oneself.
Roam free
-The snow melts in the spring, and the world over rejoices
The natural cycle of the seasons, where melting snow symbolizes renewal, brings joy worldwide.
Rejoice in the name of your fear
Find joy despite or within your fears.
We rejoice under the sun
Celebrating under the sun but suggesting that ignorance is more enjoyable.
Where ignorance is way more fun
Implies that ignorance is more enjoyable when you're in a place where it's unexpected or unconventional (like tanning in Antarctica).
When you're tanning in Antarctica
Highlighting the irony or absurdity of the situation by picturing a scenario that's contradictory or unconventional (tanning in Antarctica).
We stood by and didn't cry as we watched the whole world die
Observing without emotional reaction as the world faces destruction.
Did you hear it, are you even here now?
Questioning the listener's awareness or presence in the moment of chaos.
They had it turned into a store
The world's beauty or natural elements have been commodified or turned into a commercial enterprise.
To rob and leave behind the poor
Exploitation of beauty for profit, leaving behind the disadvantaged.
Worst things have come to men before
Implies that worse situations have occurred historically.
Worst things have come to men before
Reiteration of historical hardship.
But it never has been quite as upside down as this
Highlighting the unprecedented or exceptionally chaotic nature of the current situation.
Roam free
Reinforcing the idea of liberation and freedom.
Roam free
-Roam free

Reinforcing the concept of freedom.
