Meaning:
 Joe's thoughts on the song: Anything Beautiful is simply an observation--the world can be quite a depressing, ugly place. Originally the song had FIVE verses, but because of time, i was forced to cut it down to two, my favorite senarios. The first verse is about a girl committing suicide and the media's relentless attention to tragedy and ugliness (yes i'm guilty too). The second verse was inspired by a benefit show we played for a boy in a hospital bed (quite possibly the most depressing gig ever). The interlude (rap) is about me and my struggle with a belief in god and goodness in all of this shit. (more about this in believe)

Verse:
awaken to a sun
around a neon earth
to warm a frozen gun
believe that death is worth
the pain of a high school end
the rest in a young suicide
the media drawing in
escape from a young girl’s life
from a young girl’s life.
 
Chorus:
falling further every day
our tallest towers sway
i’m holding on in this world of decay
and i’ve realized that
this is anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful
a world anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful.
 
Verse:
awaken to a day
the fear in the eyes of a boy
the cold of a hospital stay
where a child is a cancer’s toy
and if the angel for the lord
is the angel with the sword
i don’t believe it anymore
i just can’t believe that anymore
holding on for a chance to be strong
 
Chorus:
but falling further every day
our tallest towers sway
i’m holding on in this world of decay
and i’ve realized
this is anything but beautiful...
 
Bridge:
somebody hold my eyes close
somebody make the snow and the rain
one step from the fall don’t you know
i stood next to heaven but the light never came
somebody keep my head turned
give me a soul for a piece of the wire
i came for a god but it all burned down
in the fire
 
Chorus:
falling further everyday
our deepest oceans dry
we’re holding on in this world
of decay
will we realize
open your eyes
this is anything but beautiful...
