Song Meaning of “Beneath Your Beautiful” by Labrinth
This hauntingly beautiful ballad celebrates the power of vulnerability and true connection as Labrinth reflects on how love can transcend the superficial layers of vanity and physical appearance which often prevent us from allowing ourselves to become intimate with others. He encourages the listener to look beyond the outer layers of an individual and unlock the access to their true self — the person they are beneath the surface. Even if that hidden person is too terrified to show their innermost self to the world, Labrinth encourages the listener to recognize the real individual who lies beneath the masks they may hide behind. In short, he is calling on us to recognize the beauty and authenticity of people, regardless of how different they may seem, and to dare to offer intimacy to those who seem the most closed-off and unapproachable.
