"Beauty & the Beast" by Kalandra turns a moonlit garden into a trap where desire and danger are the same pull. A creature waits beneath the lake while a woman, drawn by a flower she knows is bait, chooses to swim toward it anyway. The water lily becomes the image for that choice: lovely, rooted in dark water, and pulled under as the beast takes what it was offered. Hunger and beauty meet without apology, and the song lingers in the strange peace of wanting something even while it consumes you.
Beauty & the Beast Lyrics by Kalandra
Out in the garden
In the lake
A beast is hiding
The creature waits
With hungry eyes
Out in the garden
There’s ghosts on the lake
She sees a flower
The perfect bait
And she knows what she wants
She goes out swimming
In the night
Someone’s waiting
In the moonlight
With open mouth
Swim swim a water lily for the thief
Swim swim from the belly of the beast
Swim swim something’s pulling from beneath
And the lily’s going under
Such a shame
I had to taste
For such a beauty
It can’t go to waste
Swim swim a water lily for the thief
Swim swim from the belly of the beast
Swim swim something’s pulling from beneath
And the lily’s going under
