Goddamn Perfect
Yearning Echoes: A Soul's Struggle in Goddamn Perfect
Lyrics
I'm hoping that my feet won't fail me
I hope to remain steadfast and not lose my determination.
Cause I see the smoke forming off your lips
The sight of smoke from your lips is noticed, possibly indicating a troubled situation.
I can feel it exploding from my fingertips like
Intense emotions are overwhelming, expressed through the imagery of exploding feelings.
What's the use in stitching it together
Questioning the purpose of fixing things when the desire is to be alone.
When you long to be alone
Expressing a longing for solitude.
Running down like mercury before your feet
Comparing emotions to mercury running down, perhaps symbolizing vulnerability.
When I know I don't belong
An awareness of not fitting in or belonging.
Invested everything that's left in me
Invested all remaining energy or emotions.
Hoping that I won't let go of you
Hoping to hold on to a connection.
Like you let go of me
Reflecting on being let go, suggesting a past separation.
When all I ever see are
Constantly confronted with unsettling images or experiences.
Eyes like torches slowly swarming in
Describing intense and persistent gazes resembling torches.
And you struggle to cover it while you pretend
Struggling to conceal emotions while pretending.
You're not steadily heading in for the deep end
Acknowledging a steady progression towards a difficult situation.
(The deep end)
Reiteration of the challenging situation or "deep end."
I'm hoping that my feet won't fail me now
Repeating the hope that one won't fail despite challenges.
I've grown tired of searching for an easy way out
Tired of seeking an easy escape from difficulties.
Why's everything so goddamn perfect from way up high
Questioning the perfection observed from a higher perspective.
I'd rather stay dreaming than believing a lie
Prefer dreaming over embracing deceptive beliefs.
Had every chance to turn and run away from everything
Had opportunities to avoid problems but haunted by the mind.
But my mind is haunted, my mind is haunted
Being emotionally tied to a fever, anticipating an inevitable end.
Tied to the fever holding onto me, I'm just waiting for the end
Addressing someone who achieved their desires but tried to hide their true self.
You got exactly what you wanted
Confirmation that the person obtained what they desired.
After everything you did, you tried to hide who you have been
Feeling medicated and relapsing as a coping mechanism.
Leaving me medicated, I backslid
Struggling to feel secure in one's own identity.
Just to try and feel safe in my own skin
Repeating the hope not to fail despite challenges.
I'm hoping that my feet won't fail me now
Reiterating weariness in seeking an easy way out.
I've grown tired of searching for an easy way out
Questioning the perfection observed from a higher perspective.
Why's everything so goddamn perfect from way up high
Prefer dreaming over embracing deceptive beliefs.
I'd rather stay dreaming than believing a lie
Being emotionally tied to a fever, anticipating an inevitable end.
Tied to the fever holding onto me, I'm just waiting for the end
Addressing someone who achieved their desires but tried to hide their true self.
You got exactly what you wanted
Repeating the anticipation of an inevitable end.
Tied to the fever holding onto me I'm just waiting for the end
-You got exactly what you wanted
Confirmation that the person obtained what they desired.
I'm hoping that my feet won't fail me now
Repeating the hope that one won't fail despite challenges.
I've grown tired of searching for an easy way out
Reiterating weariness in seeking an easy way out.
Why's everything so goddamn perfect from way up high
Questioning the perfection observed from a higher perspective.
I'd rather stay dreaming, than believing a lie
Prefer dreaming over embracing deceptive beliefs.
I'm hoping that my feet won't fail me now
Repeating the hope not to fail despite challenges.
I've grown tired of searching for an easy way out
Reiterating weariness in seeking an easy way out.
Why's everything so goddamn perfect from way up high
Questioning the perfection observed from a higher perspective.
I'd rather stay dreaming, than believing a lie
Prefer dreaming over embracing deceptive beliefs.
