The Perfect Life
Embracing Imperfections: The Pursuit of a Life Filled with Meaning
Lyrics
Everyday I'm feeling well
Expressing a positive emotional state in daily life.
Don't need no pills to make me swell
Rejecting the need for external substances to feel good.
I'm not sure what I'll become
Uncertain about future identity but embracing the uncertainty.
But that's okay I trust the sun
Embracing trust in the positive aspects of life symbolized by the sun.
Maybe I will write a book
Contemplating the possibility of writing a book.
Teach myself how to cook
Considering self-improvement through learning to cook.
But when it's all said and done
Acknowledging life's completion and retrospection.
I'll have lived a life that's
Reflecting on a life that is fulfilling.
Full of...
Leaving the completion of the phrase open-ended.
He's having a bad day
Introducing a character experiencing a difficult day.
Drank too many cans of heartaches
Indicating coping with emotional pain through excessive drinking.
Slowly twisting his head back on now
Describing a process of emotional recovery.
Same three thoughts of yesterday
Repeating lingering thoughts from the past.
Hey-hey-hey
An exclamation expressing emotion or attention.
Going through what your Dad has never felt
Empathizing with challenges not experienced by one's father.
Armed with nothing but tattoos on your chest
Highlighting reliance on personal symbols (tattoos) for strength.
Nothing bad will ever come your way
Expressing a belief in immunity from negative experiences.
Nothing good will ever fade away
Suggesting skepticism about the endurance of positive experiences.
Fade away
Reiterating the impermanence of positive states.
So look up and make a wish (make a wish)
Encouraging hopeful actions and divine intervention.
And God will give you a kiss
Imagining a divine response to a wish.
The perfect life, it don't exist (you're living it)
Denying the existence of a perfect life while affirming current contentment.
The perfect life, it don't exist (if you insist)
Repeating the denial of a perfect life with a conditional acknowledgment.
The perfect life, it don't exist (you're living it)
Restating the denial with emphasis on current satisfaction.
The perfect life, it don't, it don't exist
Emphasizing the non-existence of a perfect life.
