I know this song is supposed to be hopeful because we don't all know 'the beauty we are' and if we did we'd be termed arrogant but its still so sad. There is no resolution to the song, at the end Nico is still saying 'please put down your hands' and it just feels like the person she is trying to reassure will never see themselves as others see them. I played this song a lot when one of my friends killed themselves-I spent my entire life trying to explain to her how amazing she was and she never saw it. Although it is pretty, it is also hopeless
