Mythological Beauty Lyrics

You have a mythological beauty
You have the eye of someone I have seen
Outside of ordinary situations
Even outside of dreams
You lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen
There is a child inside you who's trying to raise a child in me

If you wanna leave
You just have to say
You're all caught up inside
But you know the way

You cut the flesh of your left thumb
Using your boyfriend's knife
Seventeen, you took his cum
And you gave birth to your first life
You gave Andrew a family who you thought would love and take better care
I have an older brother I don't know
He could be anywhere

If you wanna leave
You just have to say
You're all caught up inside
But you know the way
You're all caught up inside
But you know the way

Rented a house in Niswah, Minnesota
Shrapnel and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard
I built a ladder out of metal pieces
Father was working hard
Standing beneath the oak tree by the front door
You were inside baking bread
Sister came out and put her arms around me
Blood gushing from my head
You held me in the backseat with a dishrag, soaking up blood with your eyes
I was just five and you were twenty-seven
Praying "don't let my baby die"

If you wanna leave
You just have to say
You're all caught up inside
But you know the way
You're all caught up inside
But you know the way

So much more to live your life
To walk the floor
To say goodnight
Do you leave your light on?
Do you leave your light on?

You're all caught up inside
But you know the way

What is the Meaning of Mythological Beauty?

Imagine a heartfelt letter written by a child to their mother, sprinkled with the poetic dust of myth and memory. This song is an ode to maternal resilience and the generational dance of love and sacrifice. Our protagonist reminisces about moments that shaped them—like a kitchen accident turned life lesson or the haunting absence of an older brother. The lyrics paint a picture of vulnerability, beauty, and raw human connection as they grapple with past wounds and present emotions 🩸. It's like flipping through an old family album where every snapshot tells a story of survival, love, and unspoken understanding.
