Everything beautiful is about the dichotomy of perspective. It follows a man who is struggling with his doubt and emptiness about his life. To the rest of the world he's a rock star and has a perfect life with everything his beauty affords him. The songs message basically states that you can't assume because someone is on another side of life or position that it's easy for them. Their struggle is just as real as everyone else's..
Lyrics
I'm looking back on my life and time that I have wasted
Too stuck in my mind to move away from all the hating
I keep it inside so I can push away the feeling
Empty and alone
Doesn't matter what you think you see
Hollow cast of something I can't be
You think that my life is everything everything beautiful
I'm starting to think if all of this can make it worth it
I swallow the pain inside and you think I deserve it
So stuck underneath that I can barely see the surface
Empty and alone
Underneath the surface
Underneath the surface
Underneath
Doesn't matter what you think you see
Hollow cast of something I can't be
You think that my life is everything everything beautiful
Doesn't matter what you think you know
Broken inside when I start to fall
You think that my life is everything everything beautiful
I feel so lost and stuck inside my mind
It doesn't matter what you think you see
Hollow cast of something I can't be
You think that my life is everything everything beautiful
Doesn't matter what you think you know
Broken inside when I start to fall
You think that my life is everything everything beautiful
My life
You think that my life is everything everything beautiful
