The Beauty Underneath
PHANTOM
Have you ever yearned to go
Past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call
Of the beauty underneath?
Have you let it draw you in
Past the place where dreams begin?
Felt the full breathless pull
Of the beauty underneath?
When the dark unfolds its wings
Do you sense the strangest things?
Things no one would ever guess
Things mere words cannot express?
GUSTAVE
Yes!
PHANTOM
Do you find yourself beguiled
By the dangerous and wild
Do you feed on the need
For the beauty underneath
Have you felt your senses surge
And surrender to the urge
And been hooked as you looked
At the beauty underneath
When you star behind the night
Can you glimpse its primal might
Might you hunger to possess
Hunger that you can't repress
GUSTAVE
Yes!
It seems so beautiful
So strange yet beautiful
Everything's just as you said
PHANTOM
And he's so beautiful
Perhaps too beautiful
What I suspect cannot be
And yet somehow we both see
The very same way
GUSTAVE
Is there music in your head
Have you followed where it led?
And be graced with the taste of the beauty underneath
Does it fill your every sense
Is it terribly intense
Tell me you need it too
Need the beauty underneath
BOTH
When he lifts his voice and sings,
Don't you feel amazing things?
Things you know you can't confess
Things you thirst for, nonetheless
GUSTAVE
It's all so beautiful
PHANTOM
Can it be?
GUSTAVE
Almost too beautiful
BOTH
Do you see what I see?
GUSTAVE
Heavenly
PHANTOM
To him it's beautiful
My world is beautiful
GUSTAVE
How can this be what it seems
BOTH
All of my most secret dreams
Somehow set free!
PHANTOM
You can feel it
GUSTAVE
Yes
PHANTOM

GUSTAVE

PHANTOM

You can face it

PHANTOM

PHANTOM
You see through to the beauty underneath
To the splendor
GUSTAVE
To the splendor
PHANTOM

GUSTAVE
And the glory
PHANTOM
To the truth of the beauty underneath

PHANTOM

To the splendor
GUSTAVE
To the splendor
PHANTOM
And the glory
GUSTAVE
And the glory

FAVORITE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lot of people i showed this to thought this was the weirdest part of the movie, but that just proves that they cant see through to the beauty underneath, to me the beauty underneath is that you cant look with your eyes but see through to the real person inside. yes people who are deformed look different but they are people. to me people who have a disadvantage are just people who were gifted by god. for the better or worse. i can see the beauty of some of the creatures in the song like the man with a 3rd eye, well in Buddhism the 3rd represent is if you focus on only that eyes you see all the good and wounder in the world, and the fairy and mermaid are like fair tails that came to life in the eyes of a child. so many beautiful things. you just have to go past the wall of what the eyes see....
ReplyDeleteMy poor babe :( Erik got so excited for his son to accept him. When he gets giddy and jumps to the other side of the stage to show him-adorable. When his son screams and runs away when he takes off his mask-RIP my heart.
