Elliott Smith – Pretty (Ugly Before) Lyrics 20 years ago
to, me this song isn't particularly about drugs or love or something. it kind of just represents the moodswings of a very sensitive person. maybe even a person who suffers from this sensitivity, like a borderliner or something. he feels "pretty" in this particular moment, but he knows that it's only "a passing face". sounds pretty much like borderline moodswings to me. swinging between the extremes.
