Lyrics to “Too Beautiful”:
The text plays on a constant contrast: the tears that fall silently, the passion that resembles a chaos, and this bitter clarity in the face of frightening emotions.
The chorus hammers home the same idea—that of a story too good to be true, a sentence that Lomepal says he hates her just as much as he loves her.
I watch her chain the cigarettes
Her tears flow in silence, we still hear the cicadas
We'd hurt each other even with zero words
Yet no wall on this earth
Could stifle the cry of our pheromones
We are not likely to last long
You even compared me to Lucifer
Now you drink and you want me
No way, I can't believe it, man
I already know what distance entails
Either that, or 10 years of war without a truce
Either I leave her telling her
The chorus comes across like a resigned sigh. “Keep smiling—nothing is that serious” sounds almost like an attempt to convince oneself. The phrase “a tear hidden in the eye” It sums it all up: the pain held in, the breakup accepted but never truly come to terms with.
Lomepal admits to hating that phrase, “It was too good to be true”, precisely because it fits her situation.
Keep smiling, nothing matters anymore
As long as we have even a second of memory left in our heads
Our two bodies might die—I’ve already come to terms with that
Now go far away from me, a tear hidden in my eye
Our story could never have ended peacefully and tenderly
I hate you just like that saying that goes, “It was too good to be true.”
I will never admit that some of my own emotions scare me
I hate you just like that saying that goes, “It was too good to be true.”
The second verse ramps up the intensity a notch. “It’s chaos all around” returns like a haunting echo.
The image of the “a gaze that pierces the body like a long needle” expresses both attraction and pain. And the comparison of the “a torso that hydroplanes” "on the other's back" is one of the most striking metaphors in the entire song: physical, raw, unexpected.
Baby, hold me tight so I can forget that everything's a mess
It's chaos all around
Look at us—fate has no shame
The gods are not ashamed
I've messed everything up this year—it's still a work in progress
Can we come back in January?
His gaze goes through my body like a long needle
It sure looks like we're done for
The two of us in the same car, we're going to death
We hate each other so much that we make love again
Because it's like a drug—it really gets you high
On her back, my chest is hydroplaning
The problem is that it reminds me why I love him
I see the beginning the first few weeks
We could start from zero
And take the first plane like in a shitty movie
That's crazy
Keep smiling, nothing matters anymore
As long as we have even a second of memory left in our heads
Our two bodies might die—I’ve already come to terms with that
Now go far away from me, a tear hidden in my eye
Our story could never have ended peacefully and tenderly
I hate you just like that saying that goes, “It was too good to be true.”
I will never admit that some of my own emotions scare me
I hate you just like that saying that goes, “It was too good to be true.”
Too good to be true (X9)
Hey, hey, hey
Too good, too good to be true
The conclusion of the title leaves no room for doubt. The phrase “too good to be true” Repeated nine times in a row, it sounds like a broken record—proof that this phrase really was haunting me Lomepal as of this writing.
