Only pretty things can be seen
Suggesting that only beautiful or attractive things are noticeable or valued.
Take what you can from me
Encouraging the listener to take whatever they desire from the speaker.
Oh these pretty things aren't free
Highlighting that attractive things come at a cost and are not free.
Pretty little creatures
Referring to aesthetically pleasing beings or objects.
Funny how they teach us
Commenting on the irony of how these beautiful things teach us.
Ohh
Expressing emotion or emphasis, possibly related to the preceding lines.
Cover up in glitter
Describing the act of concealing oneself in a shiny, superficial manner.
Doesn't really fit her
Noting that the glittery cover-up doesn't suit the person.
Ohh ohh
Expressing emotion or emphasis, possibly related to the preceding lines.
Picture in your mind is
Describing an image in the mind, suggesting it can be as negative as a feeling.
Just as bad as feeling
Stating that imagining can be just as harmful as experiencing.
If we were all blind
Exploring the hypothetical scenario of everyone being blind.
Would they still be appealing?
Raising the question of whether these pretty things would still be attractive if sight were absent.

They don't beat beat beat
