She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain
And cut her woes away
'Cause cover-girls don't cry
After their face is made
But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, "Cover-girls eat nothing"
She says, "Beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I can go a little while longer," she fades away
She don't see her perfect
She don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface
Ah, oh, ah, ah oh
So to all the girls that's hurting
Let me be your mirror
Help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
No better you than the you that you are
(No better you than the you that you are)
No better life than the life we're living
(No better life than the life we're living)
No better time for your shine, you're a star
(No better time for your shine, you're a star)
Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful
You don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
"Scars To Your Beautiful" by Anthem Lights is a powerful song that speaks to the struggles and insecurities many people face when it comes to their appearance. The song, originally written and performed by Alessia Cara, has been given a unique twist by Anthem Lights, bringing their own style and interpretation to the lyrics.
The meaning behind the song is clear from the title itself. It is a reminder that beauty is not defined by society's standards or physical appearance. The song tells the story of a girl who feels unnoticed and craves attention, believing that she needs to change herself to be beautiful. However, the lyrics challenge this narrative and encourage her to embrace her true self, scars and all.
This theme of embracing one's true self and finding value beyond physical appearance aligns with several scripture verses. One such verse is Psalm 139:14, which says, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." This verse reminds us that we are made in God's image and that our worth is not determined by our outward appearance.
Another verse that relates to the theme of the song is 1 Samuel 16:7, which says, "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'" This verse serves as a reminder that God sees beyond our physical appearance and values the condition of our hearts.
The lyrics of the song itself also convey a message of hope and encouragement. The line "But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark" reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is still hope. It encourages us to see ourselves as beautiful just the way we are, without the need for external validation or the pressure to conform to societal standards.
The song also speaks to the importance of self-acceptance and self-love. It urges listeners to see their own worth and to not compare themselves to others. The lyrics "No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful" remind us that our scars, both physical and emotional, do not diminish our beauty or value. Instead, they are a part of our unique story and make us who we are.
Overall, "Scars To Your Beautiful" by Anthem Lights is a song that carries a powerful message of self-acceptance, hope, and finding true beauty beyond physical appearance. It encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and to see the beauty within themselves and others. It serves as a reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that our worth is not determined by society's standards.
