Discover the story of the song > Mythological Beauty – Big Thief

The song is about a woman who is described as having a unique and beautiful appearance. She has a childlike innocence, and the singer feels responsible for taking care of her. The lyrics also mention a traumatic incident where the protagonist's brother possibly went missing, and the singer himself was hurt as a child, but the protagonist cared for him. The chorus urges the protagonist to speak up if she wants to leave and reminds her that she knows the way. The outro implies that there's more to life than staying trapped and fearful, and that the protagonist has the ability to find her own path.
