Beauty and the Beast (미녀와 야수)

The song 'Beauty and the Beast' by The Rose is a poignant love ballad that draws inspiration from the classic fairy tale to express the feelings of a love that seems impossible. The lyrics tell the story of two lovers who are perceived as mismatched by society, much like the characters in the original 'Beauty and the Beast' story. The repeated references to the characters from the tale serve as a metaphor for the societal judgment the couple faces, with the singer identifying as the 'Beast' and their lover as 'Beauty'.

The song's chorus emphasizes the transformative power of love, suggesting that it can break curses and breathe life into what was once withered. The imagery of the last petal falling and the magic that seems to be cast speaks to the urgency and the preciousness of their love. The phrase 'It's a beautiful life, you and I' reinforces the idea that despite the challenges, the life they share is beautiful and worth cherishing.

The Rose, known for their emotive music and heartfelt lyrics, captures the essence of a love that defies expectations and societal norms. The song's narrative arc moves from a sense of foreboding to one of hope and renewal, mirroring the fairy tale's theme of looking beyond appearances to find true love. The repetition of 'You are the Beauty' and 'It's a beautiful life, you and I' serves as an affirmation of their bond and the beauty they find in each other, regardless of the world's perceptions.
