Ugly
Embracing Imperfection: The Anthem for the Unconventional Souls
Lyrics
Here's a song for all the freaks, for all us ugly people out there
Expressing solidarity with those considered unconventional or unattractive.
Here's a song for all the creeps, for all us freaky people out there
Extending the song's message to those who might be socially awkward or different.
Here's a song for all who've said they've never truly turned a head
Acknowledging the feeling of being overlooked or unnoticed despite one's efforts.
A knocked down creature on the road, slowly covered up by snow oh!
Describing a downtrodden individual on a snowy road, possibly symbolizing isolation or neglect.
I once heard a song that said you're beautiful inside no matter'.
Referencing a song promoting inner beauty but expressing skepticism about its impact.
I hoped it wouldn't build up in me a premise that's designed to shatter
Fearing that positive messages might lead to unrealistic expectations, setting one up for disappointment.
What if I don't have within, enough to break out through my skin
Doubting one's internal qualities and the ability to break through societal expectations.
To raise me up to other creatures, to give me some redeeming features.
Desiring qualities that elevate one's status and redeem perceived flaws.
And I I've so much love to give, but people just can't see past
Expressing a wealth of love to offer, but feeling unacknowledged due to external appearance.
My slightly pock-marked skin, my glasses, my protruding chin
Listing physical features that may be perceived as unattractive by societal standards.
And I How do I stand a chance? When people just can't see past
Questioning the possibility of being accepted when physical attributes hinder perception.
My large ungainly figure, I'm sure I heard them snigger.
Noting the awareness of others' judgment regarding one's physical appearance.
Here's a world where beauty's pushed, for all to stand, worship, aspire to
Criticizing societal emphasis on external beauty and the pressure to conform.
Beach parties, with bronzed and confident young things I'm being lied to
Challenging the authenticity of social scenes that prioritize physical attractiveness.
How can no one notice me, I've such a storm inside of me
Expressing internal turmoil and the desire for recognition.
A tidal wave, a pressure pot rate me if you think I'm hot!
Using metaphors like a tidal wave and a pressure pot to convey inner intensity, inviting judgment based on attractiveness.
And I I've so much love to give, but people just can't see past
Reiterating the presence of love to give but lamenting the lack of visibility due to external appearance.
Water beautiful water, water beautiful water
Introducing the motif of water, possibly symbolizing clarity or transparency.
My slightly pock-marked skin, my glasses, my protruding chin
Repeating physical attributes and questioning the paradox of being apparent yet ignored.
How can something so apparent, be so ignored and transparent
Expressing frustration at the apparent visibility of one's attributes being disregarded.
And I How do I stand a chance? When people just can't see past
Persisting doubt about standing a chance when external appearance dominates perception.
Water beautiful water, water beautiful water
Reiterating the motif of water and the theme of apparent yet ignored qualities.
My large ungainly figure, I'm sure I heard them snigger.
Acknowledging awareness of judgment based on physical appearance.
How can something so apparent, be so ignored and transparent
Repeating frustration at the paradox of apparent visibility and transparent neglect.
Here's a song for all the freaks, for all us ugly people out there
Recalling the initial theme of solidarity with unconventional or unattractive individuals.
Ah - I've so much love to give
Expressing a surplus of love to offer despite external judgments.
Ah How do I stand a chance
Persisting doubt about standing a chance given societal focus on external appearance.
