Verse They grin but they don’t mean it They sing but they don’t feel it They’re gone but they don’t see it They can call but they can’t heed it They think but they don’t speak it (Break) There’s a beast eating every bit of beauty and they all feed it Verse (Break) Stop a moment try to freeze it They find and they don’t seek it At the bar but they can’t meet it Try their best but they can’t beat it Nice car somebody keys it (Break) There’s a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes they feed it I’m not a finger pointer I will not cry your name For yeah brothers and sisters We are one in the same But when my sister suffers And when my mother cries (Break) All I want to do is look in someone’s eyes and say Verse You sleep and you don’t dream it You’re sly but you don’t seem it You’re busy as a flea pit You struggle to perceive it Is it hard to believe it (Break) There’s a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes you feed it I’m not a finger pointer I will not cry your name For yeah brothers and sisters we are one and the same But when my sister suffers I am my mother’s child (Break) All I want to do is look in someone’s eyes and say Verse Somehow we fear to speak it We’re scared someone will tweet it It’s on the wall but you won’t read it It’s gone before you see it We all dread to re-repeat it (Break) There’s a beast eating bit of beauty yes we can all feed it

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde l'idée que malgré nos sourires et nos chants, beaucoup d'entre nous passent à côté de la véritable essence des choses. Elle évoque une sorte de "bête" qui ronge la beauté du monde, alimentée par notre indifférence et notre incapacité à nous connecter véritablement les uns aux autres. Les paroles mettent en lumière notre tendance à éviter de parler de nos souffrances personnelles et collectives, tout en nous rappelant que nous sommes tous interconnectés. Dans une société où la superficialité prend souvent le pas sur l'authenticité, il est crucial de se rappeler l'importance des liens humains et de l'empathie envers ceux qui souffrent.
