Young And Pretty

Share:

I’m among those desperate faces
Say what desperate faces say
The life that I accused you of
I’m living it myself today

I no longer wish for changes
I no longer disagree
Drag myself along the hallway

Paintings making fun of me

When you’re young and pretty
The world is real
Full of pain and pleasure
When you’re young and pretty

Your wounds won’t come in handy
Once you’re back on your own
They’ll turn your trust against you
And you’re split in half
By a sunshine’s ray

I’m among those desperate faces
Say what desperate faces say
Once you stick around too long
Someone takes the scenery down

When you’re young and pretty
The world is real
Full of pain and pleasure

When you’re young and pretty
Young and pretty

The lyrics of Ivy Flindt's song "Young And Pretty" delve into themes of desperation, self-realization, and the harsh realities that come with youth and beauty. The singer reflects on their current state of being among those with desperate faces, a stark contrast to their prior judgment of others in a similar position. The realization that they are now living the life they once accused someone else of living is a powerful acknowledgment of their own shortcomings and vulnerability.

The singer expresses a sense of resignation and acceptance, stating that they no longer wish for changes or disagree with their circ*mstances. They feel like they are merely dragging themselves along, with even the paintings in the hallway mocking them. This imagery suggests a feeling of being trapped and powerless, surrounded by reminders of their own perceived inadequacies.

The chorus emphasizes the fleeting nature of youth and beauty, highlighting the bittersweet nature of this period in life. The idea that the world is real and filled with both pain and pleasure for the young and pretty encapsulates the dichotomy of experiences that come with such attributes. The mention of wounds not being useful once someone is alone speaks to the idea that external validation and attractiveness can easily turn into vulnerabilities when faced with the harshness of reality.

The lyrics conclude by repeating the chorus and reinforcing the notion that being young and pretty comes with its own set of challenges and illusions. The imagery of someone taking the scenery down when one sticks around too long metaphorically suggests that the facade of youth and beauty can quickly fade. Overall, the song conveys a sense of introspection and disillusionment, exploring the complexities of identity and perception in a world that can be both alluring and unforgiving.

I’m among those desperate faces
I find myself in the group of people who are feeling helpless and distressed

Say what desperate faces say
I express the same emotions and thoughts as those who are desperate

The life that I accused you of
I am now experiencing the same difficulties and hardships that I used to blame you for

I’m living it myself today
I am facing those challenges in my own life now

I no longer wish for changes
I have accepted my current situation and do not desire any changes

I no longer disagree
I have stopped resisting and now agree with my circ*mstances

Drag myself along the hallway
I move slowly and wearily through the corridor

Paintings making fun of me
The artwork around me seems to mock or tease me

When you’re young and pretty
During your youthful and attractive years

The world is real
The world seems genuine and authentic

Full of pain and pleasure
Filled with both suffering and joy

Your wounds won’t come in handy
Your past hurts will not serve a purpose

Once you’re back on your own
After being alone again

They’ll turn your trust against you
Others will betray the trust you had in them

And you’re split in half
You feel torn or divided

By a sunshine’s ray
Due to a bright ray of sunlight

Once you stick around too long
If you stay in one place for too long

Someone takes the scenery down
Others will remove the beauty and joy from your surroundings
