Perfect
Perfect Harmony of Desires: Marianas Trench Unveils a Soul Struggling for Perfection
Lyrics
Please sing to me,
Desire for someone to express themselves through song to the speaker.
I can see you open up to breathe.
Observing someone opening up emotionally.
Fast words make it easier on me,
Using quick words to alleviate the speaker's discomfort.
Make a point to never disappoint you,
Determined to never let the listener down.
Somebodies got to tell me what to do.
Seeking guidance or advice from someone.
Just wish you would've seen me
Regret about not being noticed or appreciated as before.
When it used to come so easy.
Reflecting on past times when things were effortless.
I like to say it's easy to stay
Claiming it's simple to remain but admitting it's challenging for the speaker.
But it's not for me,
Expressing the difficulty in staying committed or present.
Cause I'm barely here at all.
Feeling disconnected or absent from the situation.
Slow down now, the secrets out.
Advising to slow down as a secret is revealed.
And I swear now everything is perfect.
Claiming that everything is perfect now, possibly sarcastically or to reassure.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Struggling to meet the wants and needs of another person.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
Attempting to fulfill the expectations set by someone else.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Willingness to comply, even if it means compromising.
Now I'll change everything until it's perfect again.
Commitment to change everything until it reaches perfection.
Coming down, coming around,
Coming to terms with reality, acknowledging a downturn.
Giving a frown to the sound when I hit ground.
Expressing displeasure upon hitting rock bottom.
I hate the way that I say I should say
Disliking the insincere way the speaker talks about what they should do.
When I know that I don't give a fuck about it anyway.
Not caring about something despite saying otherwise.
Shake hands, and shoot smiles all around,
Superficially engaging with others while feeling used.
As I sell my body by the pounds.
Feeling exploited or commodified.
Sign my name on the dotted line,
Signing away oneself for a gain, possibly inauthentically.
It would be fate, to not recessitate.
Preferably not being revived, indicating a sense of hopelessness.
Slow down now, the secrets out.
A repetition of advising to slow down with a revealed secret.
And I swear now I'll still make this perfect.
Commitment to making things perfect despite the revealed secret.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Continued struggle with meeting wants and needs.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
Continued effort to meet others' expectations.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Willingness to comply, even at personal cost, to achieve perfection.
Now I'll change everything till it's perfect again.
Commitment to changing everything to attain perfection once more.
I think it's better this way,
Belief that the current situation is preferable or beneficial.
This is good in a better way.
Expressing contentment in a new or improved situation.
It's better this way.
Reiterating satisfaction with the current state of affairs.
I'll make this perfect again.
Determination to make things perfect again.
I'll make this perfect again.
Reassertion of the commitment to achieve perfection once more.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Continued struggle with meeting wants and needs.
And I will change everything you want me to be.
Commitment to changing everything to meet the other person's desires.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Willingness to comply, even if it means sacrificing more.
Now I'll change everything, woah yeah.
Recommitment to changing everything.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Continued struggle with meeting wants and needs.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
Continued effort to meet the expectations set by someone else.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Willingness to comply, even if it means sacrificing more.
Now I'll change everything, I'll make this perfect again.
Recommitment to changing everything to attain perfection once more.
