Cover art for Hours lyrics by TV on the Radio

I think this song is about a girl who thought she was quite beautiful, tried to get somewhere in the world with her looks and was shot down and torn apart for not being pretty enough.

she then exiles from the people "summoned from the sky" angel like beauty and goes into a dark world, her confidence broken.

the "too bad they lied" part is where she realizes that beauty isn't everything like she thought.
