The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Gorgeous" by the artist "X Ambassadors"

The song "Gorgeous" by X Ambassadors explores the complex feelings of the narrator towards a girl he finds incredibly attractive yet unattainable and surrounded by admirers.

On one hand, he acknowledges that she might not be good for him ("Maybe I'd be better on my own"), seeing through the superficiality of her entourage ("All these vultures circling you, they don't know a thing about you"). He senses that she is misunderstood and underestimated ("Nobody gets you").

On the other hand, he's completely captivated by her and the way she makes him feel: confident, attractive, "like I'm ten feet off the ground". This duality is highlighted by the repetition of the phrase "You're so gorgeous, 'cause you make me feel amazing," which sounds like a mantra, expressing both admiration and dependence.

The image of James Dean and the motif of freedom ("We're young and freeā€¦ You set me loose, you set me free") emphasize the rebellious spirit and thirst for life that the girl awakens in him. "Bang the drums, sing off-key" is a call to abandon conventions and embrace the moment.

Ultimately, the song is about a captivating yet potentially doomed infatuation, about the feeling of euphoria and uncertainty that one person can evoke.

I might be better off without you

There's too many people all around you

All these vultures that surround you

They don't know a thing about you

You're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

Ooh, you're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

Nobody understands you

You ain't nothing they can handle

Every man you put your hands on

You make him feel so god damn handsome

Feel, ooh, so pretty whenever you're around

Ooh, so pretty

Feel ten feet off the ground

You're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

Ooh, you're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

We are young, we are free

Like renegades, like James Dean

Beat the drum, sing off-key

You set me free, you set me free

Cause you're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

Ooh, you're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

You're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

You're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

You're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous

Ooh, you're so gorgeous

Cause you make me feel gorgeous
