Beautiful Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's keep it simple, babe
Don't make it complicated
Don't tell me to be glad when I'm sad
I really hate that
I try not to be bad
Eccentricity's holding me back
If I could be more like you, I would
But I can't and I'm glad about that

[Pre-Chorus]
What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?
Never known who he was or the man he'd become
There would be no blue period
Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do
Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
I can turn blue into something

[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you

[Verse 2]
Let's keep it simple, babe
We can't afford to change it
Don't turn me into something I'm not
There's no way to sustain it
I try not to hold back
It seems, either way, it makes you mad
So I'll be who I'll be, if you think that that's cool
Then I'll take you back

What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?
Never known who he was or the man he'd become
There would be no blue period
Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do
Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
I can turn blue into something

[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you

[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Beautiful is the 7th track on Lana Del Rey’s 7th Major-Label album, “Blue Banisters”.

In Beautiful, Del Rey stresses independence from others and embraces her melancholy, arguing that without sadness and independence, she (and many others) wouldn’t have accomplished what they had in their careers. Yet still, Del Rey throughout the song subtly asks permission for this independence from her lover, stuck in a haze of doubt.

The song’s instrumentals are simple yet beautiful, driving home Del Rey’s confliction she displays in her lyrics.
