Has anyone realized that that One Direction song "What Makes You Beautiful" is a total paradox?
Because the lyrics are trying to tell this girl that she's beautiful, and what makes her so is the fact that she doesn't know it.
So say this song actually accomplishes its purpose - to convince this chick she's beautiful.
Now that she knows she's beautiful, then by the song's definition, she automatically de-beautifies herself in the act of knowing she is beautiful.
So now we're back to the start...
Listening to this song hurts my head
Any thoughts?
