Definition of ugly is

The Rose


The song Definition of Ugly Is explores themes of insecurity and a sense of not belonging. The lyrics describe a person who stands out from everyone else and struggles to meet society's beauty and normality standards.

The opening lines set the tone for the song as the narrator sees themselves reflected in the waves and feels inadequate. They feel like they stand out negatively and are self-conscious about their appearance and personality.

In the chorus, the narrator questions why they feel so insecure and wonders if their uniqueness is a mistake or something to celebrate. The pressure to conform to societal norms makes them feel like an outsider, and they long for a place where they can be accepted.

The second verse delves deeper into the narrator's feelings of isolation and loneliness. They express a kind of resignation about being different and not fitting in, but they still yearn for someone to understand and comfort them.

The outro shows that even though the narrator sees themselves in a new light, they still feel like an ugly duckling—an outsider in a world that values conformity. Ultimately, the song emphasizes the struggle of accepting oneself in a society that often values homogeneity over individuality.

물결 속에 비춰지는 날 보면
부족한 게 너무 잘 보여지네
난 이상해 다들 말해
또 날 피해 이젠 익숙해
속상해도
모두가 밀어내 날 I know
I don't belong here

Why am I so insecure
차갑게 비웃어 날
다르단 게 틀린 것일까 maybe
특별한 게 잘못 된 걸까

왜 기대해 말해 뭐해
난 특이해 또 쓸쓸해
외로워도
모두가 미워해도 it's alright
I really don't belong

Why am I so insecure
차갑게 비웃어 날
Is there anywhere I can go
날 위로해줘

물결 속에 다시 비춰본 내 모습
미운 오리 한 마리가 보이네

I'm weird, everyone says it
You're avoiding me again. I'm used to it now
Even if you're upset
Everyone pushes me away
I know I don't belong here

Why am I so insecure?
You're laughing at me coldly
Is it wrong to be different? Maybe?
Is something special wrong?

What do you expect me to say?
I'm peculiar, and I'm lonely
Even if I'm lonely
Even if everyone hates it, it's right
I really don't belong

Why am I so insecure?
You're laughing at me coldly
Is there anywhere I can go?
Comfort me

I look at my reflection in the waves again
I see an ugly duckling

I´m very ugly
So don´t try to convince me that
I am a very beautiful person
Because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
And I´m not going to lie to myself by saying
There is beauty inside of me that matters
So rest assured I will remind myself
That i am a worthless, terrible person
And nothing you say will make me believe
I still deserve love
Because no matter what
I am in not good enough to be loved
And i am in no position to believe that Beauty does exist within me
Because whenever I look in the mirroe I always think
Am I as ugly as people say?

two people hugging each other, personification of the colours balck and white
