The Beauty Inside
This song is all about that deep, universal yearning to be truly seen for who you are, rather than just what people see on the surface. I wanted to write something that tackles the pressure of societal beauty standards head-on, especially the feeling that you might be overlooked because of perceived physical flaws.
The heart of the lyrics is that conflict between outward appearance and inner strength. It’s a bit of a challenge to potential partners—asking if they actually have the depth to value inner beauty and resilience. I really wanted to emphasize a sense of self-worth and independence, asserting that even if the world is fixated on the superficial, there is a fierce self-love that remains untouched.
The repeated plea to "behold the beauty inside" serves as the anchor for the whole track. It’s a reminder that looking beyond the surface isn't just a request; it’s a necessity if you want to find something real. It’s a song about standing tall in your own skin and demanding to be valued for the person you’ve become.
