They're So Perfect
Unraveling the Depths of Heartache: They're So Perfect Meaning
Lyrics
He’ll take his words to the grave
Expressing a commitment to keep certain information secret until death.
That’s what he said before he broke today
Stating a previous declaration made by someone, followed by a recent emotional breakdown.
Her lies are the reason he doesn’t feel okay
Attributing the person's emotional distress to deceitful actions by another individual.
Her past is the reason she wants to run away
Linking someone's desire to escape to their troubled past.
He holds his breath for another day
Describing the person's emotional endurance, holding on for another day.
Being happy feels like yesterday
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of happiness, feeling like a distant memory.
He knows he’s trying to find another way
Acknowledging the individual's effort to seek an alternative path or solution.
His heart burns black through all the grey
Describing intense emotional pain represented by a heart that burns amidst the grey.
Today she knows exactly what she wants to say
Expressing clarity in a person's thoughts and intentions for the day.
She fights a flame with a blanket everyday
Depicting a continuous struggle against a metaphorical flame using a protective barrier.
She wishes he’d understand her pain
Expressing a desire for understanding and empathy from another person.
The pain of not knowing how they ended up this way
Highlighting the pain of not comprehending how the relationship reached its current state.
Today she wouldn’t understand a word he said
Indicating a moment of emotional disconnect, where understanding becomes difficult.
He speaks so cryptically it’s almost like he’s dead
Describing the person's communication style as cryptic, almost as if emotionally distant or detached.
He’s tied to the letters from her he’s read
Symbolizing emotional attachment through a tangible connection to letters from the other person.
It’s a wonder why he never leaves his head
Expressing curiosity about why the person remains trapped in their thoughts and memories.
He’s got one more message he’d like to send
Announcing the intention to send a final message or communication.
She’s the once unlikely recipient with a heart to mend
Identifying the recipient of the message as someone unexpected, with a heart in need of healing.
To which he will no longer be the one to tend
Declaring the end of the speaker's role in tending to the recipient's emotions.
So here’s to the swift and forgetful end
Toasting to a swift and forgetful conclusion or resolution.
