Ivory is the adjective used to describe the tower because it is a hard material and additionally, it is a beautifully white material. The song uses “ivory” (00:03:06) to imply that these walls are difficult to tear down.
The tower mentioned is a representation of the walls of isolation one builds around themselves. Moreover, the bridge is the peak of the song as it explains more clearly the speakers’ intentions that reflect the theme of Jackson’s My Body. As a result, readers and listeners are introduced to looking at the body from a new perspective. On the other hand, the story simply narrates a collection of stories wherein the body is explored with an unconventional approach Describing it with repulsive imagery. The song pushes away the idea of perfection and beauty by allowing the listeners’ imagination to come up with what might be “beneath beautiful” (00:00:59). Both the song and the interactive hypertext fiction evoke the revelation of the grotesque body. The chorus of “Beneath Your Beautiful” by Labrinth, featuring Emeli Sandé, is an evident reflection of Shelley Jackson’s My Body-A WunderKammer. Oh tonight, we ain’t perfect, we ain’t perfect Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight? Take it off now girl, take it off now girl Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful I’ll hold your hand and then we’ll jump right out
