Lyrics
The perfect time
The ideal moment
The perfect home
The perfect place of residence
I still think of it
Reflection on that ideal situation persists
I'd tell you "I'll have it all myself
Expressing a desire to possess everything without sharing
I just haven't yet"
Admitting that the goal hasn't been achieved yet
You said
Referring to a previous statement or promise
"It'll end up the same"
Cynical remark suggesting a pessimistic outcome
How come it's so fucked then
Questioning the contradiction between expectation and reality
"It'll be okay"
Assurance that everything will be fine
Why can't I see it that way
Expressing difficulty in adopting a positive perspective
Hold on
An urging to persevere or endure
How did that perfect thing end
Questioning the downfall of the seemingly perfect situation
How did those few years
Reflecting on the passage of a few years
just slip right through my hands
Regret about the swift passage of time
I want to feel that free again
Desire to experience freedom again
I'll hold what it felt like
Intention to preserve the memory of that feeling
Everything must end
Philosophical acknowledgment that everything has an end
I'd call to lie over the phone
Expressing a willingness to deceive over the phone
You knew I did
Acknowledging awareness of dishonesty
I'd tell you all the reasons
Listing reasons why the world seemed hostile
The world wanted me dead
Recalling someone's response to life's challenges
You said, "well that's how it goes"
Acceptance of life's uncertainties
You were pushing me
Highlighting someone's role in pushing for personal growth
So my skin wasn't paper thin
Describing efforts to develop resilience
You just wanted me to grow up
Implying a desire for maturity
Somehow I did
Confirmation of personal growth
Somehow I did
Reiteration of personal growth
It's not for lack of trying
Emphasizing the attempt despite apparent failure
Your love couldn't stop it
Acknowledging the limitations of love in preventing challenges
The flatline was calling
Reference to a critical moment or turning point
Nothing could stop me
Asserting an unstoppable force or determination
Hold on
Encouragement to persevere
How did that perfect thing end
Questioning the downfall of the seemingly perfect situation (repeated)
How did those few years
Reflecting on the passage of a few years (repeated)
just slip right through my hands
Regret about the swift passage of time (repeated)
I want to feel that free again
Desire to experience freedom again (repeated)
I'll hold what it felt like
Intention to preserve the memory of that feeling (repeated)
Everything must end
Philosophical acknowledgment that everything has an end (repeated)
