A letra de “autiful” mostra que a cantora estava em declínio emocional, provavelmente devido a eventos passados e presentes. Sua interpretação, no entanto, fica a critério do ouvinte, já que a própria Devi não se pronunciou oficialmente sobre o significado da canção.
[Chorus]
I want things to be beautiful
I forgot things could be beautiful
I forgot it was an option
I had given up hope
I want things to be beautiful
I forgot that things were beautiful
I forgot it was an option
I had given up hope
I'm giving up hope
[Verse]
That maybe it could change
That maybe there are options
It could take a different shape
It might not survive the change
But it could survive the change
Will we survive to stay the same?
One thousandth prison in my eyes
I've seen these lonely deaths be died
I'm no stranger to the sight
It doesn't even move me
I'm the type to keep it pushing
I wouldn't be here if I wasn't
I'll walk to work past wasted bodies
I hardly even mind
Change is in my hand
[Outro]
Money changes in my hand
It's in my hand
Money, change is in my hand
I want things to be beautiful
