HOAX - Pretty
“Pretty” is an observation. I wrote the song after going to multiple bars, clubs, enviornments and seeing how mistreated women are (in almost every sense, and how collectively its kind of a norm (WTF). From my experiences, a lot of times woman are rated based on their physical appearance first, and then (if given the chance) on their actual personalities (intellect, passions, everything that makes them - them, etc.) second. The second verse is more about how I think that people are to being boxed into preconceived categories (especially women), when in reality we are all complex creatures and its not fair to be bogged down by someones desire to compartmentalize and index us into something that is understandable, on their terms. Someones inability to understand us should never be a determinant of who we are. - Mike & HOAX
Lyrics:
Pretty Girls From The Night School
Who Knows what they've been through
Sinking Low in your bar stools
Oh no heres a new fool
He thinks he knows whatchu been through
Go home and leave her alone, leave her alone
Chorus:
Cause Even in our darkest Hours
I still stop and stare
even in a world full of flowers
You are there
Verse 2:
Burn My mind and my mental
your cigarettes with the menthol
a holy kiss from the temple
your buddhist monks and heavy metal, I'm up
And when we're thinking a lot
and when we're drinking a lot
and when we're sinking a lot
are we figuring out
its not about when its happening
but are you listening to the moment
and making it work
Chorus:
Cause Even in our darkest Hours
I still stop and stare
even in a world full of flowers
You are there
Bridge:
Even, Even
Even, Even
Chorus:
Cause Even in our darkest Hours
I still stop and stare
even in a world full of flowers
You are there
