Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a Devil's grin
Say hello to the pretty eyes
Say hello to the devilish strides
You got the looks, baby
I could die
You got the looks
You got a murder style
(Perfect)
You can't keep me waiting forever, baby
(Your skin, perfect skin)
It's getting hot
Who's going to rescue me?
Nothing here
You got a perfect skin
With a devil's grin
Say hello to the pretty eyes
Say hello, perfect alibis
Shake your hips, baby
I could die
Shake your hips
You got an L.A. style
(Perfect)
You can't keep me waiting forever, baby
(Your skin, perfect skin)
It's getting hot
Who's going to rescue me?
Nothing here
You got a perfect skin
With a devil's grin
You got a perfect skin
Lies like sin
Jenna, Paris, Jessica
Mara, Gene, Jonna
You got the looks, baby
I could die
You got the looks
You got a murder style
(Perfect)
You can't keep me waiting forever, baby
(Your skin, perfect skin)
It's getting hot
Who's going to rescue me?
Its okay, that's alright now
But I ain't going to burn in flames
Let it go now, let it go now
(Perfect)
You can't keep me waiting forever, baby
(Your skin, perfect skin)
It's getting hot
Who's going to rescue me?
You got a perfect skin
You got a perfect skin
With a devils grin
Perfect skin

Perfect skin
The 69 Eyes's song "Perfect Skin" hints at a woman who has looks so drop-dead gorgeous that the singer feels like he is going to die. He acknowledges the devilish side to her and her perfect skin, and as the chorus kicks in, one feels as if he/she is being hooked to the woman's charm. The lyrics perfectly explain the lyrics-video, which shows a woman dressed in black, appearing as if she is from another planet.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that nothing is getting easier with the beautiful woman who seems to have a hauntingly perfect allure. The woman is compared to a devil, and the singer feels as if he needs to be rescued. The lyrics "You got a murder style" imply that the woman is killing him with her charm.
The bridge gives off a darker mood, as the lyrics "You got a perfect skin, lies like sin" imply that the woman could use her looks to deceive others and do bad things. The song ends with the hook where the singer admits defeat in resisting the woman's deadly beauty.

This song was track number one on the mix CD my friend kept in his car so it was the first thing I heard every day after school when he took me to work. It will always make me think of blowing stop signs doing 80 down country roads with the wind blowing in our hair. It's been...damn, almost 7 years since he died.
