| The Cure – How Beautiful You Are... Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I agree. Smith looks at these people and sees the beauty in them. His girlfriend sees beggers. He sees the uglyness of her soul and recoils in her uglyness.. Pretty simple. | |
| The Cure – Just Like Heaven Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
He is on the stage singing a song about a girl that he left for his music. Breakdown The first part of the song describes her and how much she loved him. The "You soft and Only - You lost and lonley" is sung as "You who, soft and only, You who lost and lonley" as if he is looking for her in the dark. His eyes are closed while he is thinking about her. He has his eyes closed and is imagining her being with him. The next verse talks about him being away. He is away on the road with his music. The third verse is where all is revieled. Until this point he is dreaming of this girl that he left to go on the road. "Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone Alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me " Daylight licked me into shape means that the spotligthts of the stage hit him and snapped him out of his dreaming. He is singing a song about her "moved his lips to breath her name" . "..and found myself alone above a raging sea" is him looking out from the stage at the audience. Have you ever seen an audience from that point of view... all waving and movement as if an ocean of people are in front of him. Finally, the sea that stole the only girl he knows is that the people in his audience are the ones that took him away from his girl. Get it. It's about being on stage away from the girl he loves because he is on the road doing concerts to a raging sea of people. When he is up on stage, he sometimes dreams about her with his eyes closed until something snaps him out of it. In this case it was "daylight" or in reality, the spotlights. Next time you listen to the song, you will figure it out. It's actually very good poetry. "Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream" she said "The one that makes me laugh" she said And threw her arms around my neck "Show me how you do it and I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you" Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To make her glow "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you? That I'm in love with you?" You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream... Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone Alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven |
