Beneath Your Beautiful

Beneath Your Beautiful (Labrinth Feat Emeli Sandé)

You tell all the boys "No"

Makes you feel good, yeah.

I know you're out of my league

But that won't scare me away, oh, no

You've carried on so long,

You couldn't stop if you tried it.

You've built your wall so high

That no one could climb it,

But I'm gonna try.

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?

Would you let me see beneath your perfect?

Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl

I wanna see inside

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

You let all the girls go

Makes you feel good, don't it?

Behind your Broadway show

I heard a boy say, "Please, don't hurt me"

You've carried on so long

You couldn't stop if you tried it.

You've built your wall so high

That no one could climb it.

But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?

Would you let me see beneath your perfect?

Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy

I wanna see inside

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?

I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower

I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out

We'll be falling, falling but that's OK

'Cause I'll be right here

I just wanna know

This song is so beautiful. Just so beautiful. It teaches us to not love someone by seeing her/his surface only. Everyone for sure has flaws. If we fall in love with someone only based on his/her appearance, I bet the number of singles in the world will increase rapidly. Yeah, there are some sane, smart and wise people who want to see beneath of others' looks. They don't judge based on what can be seen, they want to dig the invisible things out since the visible ones can trick.

It would be so nice to meet someone who wants to see beneath myself. From outside, I'm not that good, not that special, not having magnetic charms. Hence, I want to bump into someone who plans to know me deeper. Someone who intends to discover me on his own not by interviewing others. Someone whose goal is finding my inner beauty not just blinking at my outer skin. Someone who aims to knock on my heart using his arrow. That person won't give up easily to win me and beat my doubts up, that person will be so excited to share thoughts with me because from it he will know who I really am more.

That person will investigate me first before jumping to conclusions. We will have unending discussions in our lifetime journey. He is wise and so mature to find out the reasons of who I am rather than judging me based on not-sure-who-I-am physical image. After exploring my inward self, he undoubtedly will face my lacks of perfection. But, he is so prudent to not throwing me away because he knows within my deficiencies, there are unique attractions hidden. And he is the only man who is patient enough to uncover them.

My insecurities always force me to separate myself from the crowds. I like to lock myself inside a dark room waiting for someone who is brave enough to break in and pull me out to see the lights. I'm insecure but I still dream of future, myself is so cloistered but I still can love and be loved, see beneath my beautiful first and you will understand. Because everyone is beautiful despite his/her anxieties in living the life.
