I think pamelachae is approaching it from the right angle, but the song title ("cool goddess") seems to be describing this woman's 'coolness factor' and not really her 'beauty'
I agree with the vanity assessment. The singer suggests that beneath the hollow, empty, 'act' which coolness amounts to, there is an obscured and marginalized human dignity. In a way, the vanity that a lot of people can get locked into is dehumanizing - it's tiring to maintain the illusion, that image you present to everyone, when underneath there's perhaps a starving 'true' identity.
The line "You're so different / In a different way" seems to capture what being cool is all about: a subtle and controlled iconoclasm to make people think certain ways toward you. But, as the singer says, "what goes up has so far down to fall / So go salvage / Some of that human dignity / It'll be a long /Hard / Road"
People need to stop being so superficial and trying to meet 'cool' expectations.
