The Beautiful Ones Lyrics Meaning

"paint a perfect picture, bring to life a vision in ones mind, the beautiful ones always smash the picture, always every time"

"paint a perfect picture" You envision your life with this person. you believe this is the person who you will travel with, have children with ,and grow with.You contemplate how much joy they can add to your life.

"bring to life a vision in ones mind" You start to make preparations for welcoming that person into your life; whether you take on another job to be closer to them, get off of birth control, introduce them to your family, rent a more spacious and nicer apartment to prove to this person your intent and sincerity.

"beautiful ones always smash the picture, always every time" Then after you finally make the plunge to invest all that you have into them; you have proven to them that YOU are the one for THEM and you are committed to only them; they (the beautiful ones) have to go in smash the picture and ruin everything you've planned, while still believing that you haven't done enough, or it's too much; or someone else is willing to do more even though they haven't met that person yet; or someone else has their attention while you were out shopping for an engagement ring....lol

So while they are playing the field, they miss out on a good thing, and in the end they lose.
