Cute and Ugly
Embracing the Quirks: MOLLY DUVALLE's "Cute and Ugly" Tale
Lyrics
Some people say I am a freak
Some people label me as an unusual person
The cute and ugly sort of guy
Describing oneself as a mix of both attractive and unattractive qualities
Life is peculiar for the weak
Life is challenging for those perceived as vulnerable
A world in constant decay
Portrays the world as continuously deteriorating
A face you would not ask for
A face that is not conventionally appealing
It sticks to you anyway
Unpleasant qualities persist despite attempts to avoid them
I hear your gruesome whispers
Receiving negative comments or rumors
Someday I'll make you pay
Expressing a desire for retribution in the future
Some people say I am a creep
Being perceived as socially awkward or disturbing
When I play hide they wont seek
Choosing to isolate oneself, anticipating avoidance from others
They would pretend and look the other way
Others feign ignorance and deliberately ignore
Its the darkness that I ought to stay
Preferring the darkness as a place of comfort
I'm not your sideshow monster
Rejecting the role of a spectacle or oddity
I'm not your dogfaced boy
Refusing to be objectified as an oddity or novelty
I'm not your sideshow monster
Reiteration of rejecting a sideshow role
I'm not your creepy toy
Insisting on not being a disturbing plaything
My mother said I was special
Recollection of being considered special by the mother
Before she ran away
The mother abandoned the speaker
My father said I was a twisted child
The father perceives the speaker as a troubled child
I caused him pain every day
Causing pain to the father regularly
My mother said I was special
Recollection of being considered special by the mother
Before she ran away
The mother abandoned the speaker
My father said I was a twisted child
The father perceives the speaker as a troubled child
I caused him pain every day
Causing pain to the father regularly
Some people say I am the beast
Others perceive the speaker as a beast or monster
May the beauty rest in peace
Wishing for beauty to find peace, possibly referring to a loved one
I'll be the keeper of her shrine
Committing to preserving the memory of a loved one
Till I meet her at the end of time
Anticipating a reunion with the loved one in the afterlife
I surrender to my bartender
Seeking solace from a bartender
I beg him for a remedy
Pleading for a remedy to alleviate bitterness
A cure from my bitterness
Desiring an end to loneliness
An end to my solitude
Expressing a yearning for relief from solitude
My mother said I was special
Recollection of being considered special by the mother
Before she ran away
The mother abandoned the speaker
My father said I was a twisted child
The father perceives the speaker as a troubled child
I caused him pain every day
Causing pain to the father regularly
I caused him pain every day
Repetition emphasizing the consistent pain inflicted on the father
I caused him pain every day
