Lyrics

Console me

Seeking comfort or solace

Clothe me in denial

Choosing to be shielded from the truth or reality

Wanna wear all the things you like

Expressing a desire to conform to the preferences of someone else


Expose me

Revealing oneself, being vulnerable

Scold me like a child

Being reprimanded or criticized like a child

Good intentions, they cut like a knife

Good intentions causing emotional pain


Looking back at a face

Reflecting on the past and seeing a changed face

Barely recognize you

Struggling to recognize one's own identity

But the eyes are a shade

Despite changes, the eyes still possess a familiar quality

Of the same perfect blue

The eyes share the same shade of perfect blue


I watched you change into someone new

Observing a transformation into a different person

Saw it all degrade into deja vu

Witnessing a decline into a sense of déjà vu or repetition

Who are you

Pondering the true identity of the changed person

Perfect blue

Associating the transformed self with the concept of "Perfect Blue"


Control me

Desiring to be controlled by someone else

I don't own myself

Feeling a lack of ownership over one's own existence

Just a product of your design

Being a creation or result of someone else's influence


Turning slowly

Undergoing a gradual transformation into a different persona

Into someone else

Losing authenticity, becoming someone unrecognizable

All these words in my mouth aren't mine

Expressing words that do not truly belong to oneself


Looking back at a face

Reflecting on the past, again struggling to recognize a changed face

Barely recognize you

Reiterating the difficulty of self-recognition

But the eyes are a shade

Noting that, despite changes, the eyes still share a familiar hue

of the same perfect blue

Emphasizing the consistency of the perfect blue gaze


I watched you change into someone new

Observing a repeated change into a new identity

Saw it all degrade into deja vu

Seeing a recurring degradation, a return to déjà vu

Who are you

Persistently questioning the true identity of the transformed self

Perfect Blue

Reaffirming the association of the transformed self with the concept of "Perfect Blue"
