| Belle & Sebastian – Beautiful Lyrics | 8 years ago |

My favorite line in this song is "The world was at here feet and she was looking down" That really resonates with me. Everyone thinks she's got things together and sees her as someone who could do/get anything she wants, but she's doesn't feel that way due to her depression. It also evokes this feeling of her being on the edge. |

I think the lyrics actually go: "I was born to do it My daddy had enough so I put my back into it That man was born to do it too He didn’t have enough so he cannot sing for you" Which makes more sense to me. It's about how some people come from backgrounds where they are privileged enough pursue their dreams (in this case singing) but some people don't have that as an option. Even if they were born with the talent and the potential. |

Not sure what this song is about as a whole, but the first half is definitely about being a woman walking home late. She describes holding her keys, which is something I know I've done when I'm nervous and walking. You put your keys in between your fingers and make a fist so that if someone were to attack you, you could punch them in the face and the sharp end of the keys would stab into them. |

I really like this song, but for a long time I thought the line "feel the waltz" was "feel the walls" which to me made more sense to me. The fastest way to get out of a maze or a dark room is to put your hand on one of the walls and just keep it there as you walk. It keeps you from getting turned around and back tracking. Since the girl was saying how she wanted to get out of there, I thought maybe feeling the walls was advice on how to do that. |

It seems like a lot of people feel like the singer doesn't care about the girl in this song, but I feel like it might be the opposite. This song always reminds me of a summer relationship I was in that ended when my girlfriend and I both went back to separate colleges in different states. She made me promise I'd stay in touch but the thought of writing to her or talking to her on the phone just hurt too much. I just wanted to forget about her and how I felt. |
