Gorgeous Lyrics
I am made of a hard skin
So I don't know how so much pain still gets in
Scars between you and me, my friend
A stone thrown, skips across the sea and smokes a child there
So I go down to the sea
Where I will breathe air
Take back a piece of me
I let it bleed out
I rage, from within
My bones break
But when they mend
The stone returns again
So I go down to the sea
Where I will breathe air
Take back a piece of me
Then I'll bleed, bleed, yeah-a-yeah
Wounds held inside
Blown open wide
Open wide
Then I'll bleed
Bleed, yeah-a-yeah
Wounds held inside
They are blown open
Oh, there's a sound of the phone not ringing
It echoes in my home
See all my friends in a crowd of you
Tell me why I'm so goddamn alone
And I felt I could do anything
That's why I made you see for me
Say it's not there, but across the sea
The stone takes a chunk of change from me
I can wait for a long time
Step to me, take a step back boy
Take a chunk of change again
Just let me go down to the sea
Where I will breathe, breathe air
Take back a piece of me
I let it bleed, bleed, yeah-a-yeah
Wounds held inside
They are blown open wide, open wide.
So I don't know how so much pain still gets in
Scars between you and me, my friend
A stone thrown, skips across the sea and smokes a child there
Where I will breathe air
Take back a piece of me
I let it bleed out
My bones break
But when they mend
The stone returns again
Where I will breathe air
Take back a piece of me
Then I'll bleed, bleed, yeah-a-yeah
Blown open wide
Open wide
Bleed, yeah-a-yeah
They are blown open
It echoes in my home
Tell me why I'm so goddamn alone
That's why I made you see for me
The stone takes a chunk of change from me
Step to me, take a step back boy
Take a chunk of change again
Where I will breathe, breathe air
Take back a piece of me
I let it bleed, bleed, yeah-a-yeah
They are blown open wide, open wide.

This is easily my favorite 3eb b-side. I've always gotten a sort of kick out of the ironic undertone of the entire song, with it's title of "Gorgeous".
It's obviously about a relationship with someone, though not necessarily a romantic one.
Anyone else find the idea of wanting to "go down to the sea" or just sink as a great analogy for just wanting to sleep one's problems away?
Gorgeous, to me, is about someone wanting to escape their friends or friendships, yet being imbittered by the irony that is loneliness.
amazing
I'm really amazed that this song hasn't been put on an album. Granted it would've been a bit out of place on OOTV.
I usually experiment with 3eb cover songs. This one is one of my favourites to mess around with. It's just as the song name implies, it's "Gorgeous" but bitter. Love it!
this song reminds me of how you feel after a breakup...you just want to get away, you want to forget everything.
i think this song is about a breakup. "I am made of a hard skin So I don't know how so much pain still gets in Scars between you and me, my friend A stone thrown, skips across the sea and smokes a child there"
"So I go down to the sea Where I will breathe air Take back a piece of me I let it bleed out I rage, from within My bones break But when they mend The stone returns again"
that's just what i get from the song, but there could be other perceptions you could get as well
i am made of hard skin so i don't know how so much pains still gets in
wow story of my life. sj, you are KING and i love what you've done for me
