Perfect
Crash Palace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I take you from behind
The things that you love to hate
Are the things that make you mine
Nothing is gonna change
Nothing is gonna change Oh
You like it when we fight
The one who is always right
The one who can do no wrong
You like it when I bite
And I lie and make you cry Oh
Keep my mouth shut
Say it's my fault
Can't be you, Your perfect
Lay the blame on me
I don't care
Can't be you
Your perfcet, So perfect
I try to drag you down
But you like to speak for god
Agreeing to disagree
Keep on keeping on
Nothing is gonna change
Nothing is gonna change Oh
Keep my mouth shut
Say it's my fault
Can't be you, Your perfect
Lay the blame on me
I don't care
Can't be you
Your perfect, So perfect
Oh you pretty thing
I love to let you win
I love to see you smile girl
Keep my mouth shut
Say it's my fault
Can't be you, Your perfect
Lay the blame on me
I don't care
Can't be you
Your perfect, So perfect
The song Perfect by Crash Palace is a hard-hitting rock ballad that explores the dynamics of a toxic relationship. The lyrics talk about the willingness of the singer's partner to keep things on their terms, even if it means manipulating, accusing, or fighting their way to the top. The opening lines of the song create a vivid contrast between the two partners' perspectives, with one preferring things up-front and in their face, while the other likes to stay in the background and manipulate from a distance.
The refrain 'nothing is gonna change' repeats twice in the song, highlighting the dysfunctionality of the relationship. Despite the constant fights and manipulations, the singer is unable to break out of the toxic cycle, often being blamed for things that aren't their fault.
The song's powerful conclusion centers on the singer's desire to see their partner smile and be happy, even if it means keeping their mouth shut and taking the blame for things that aren't their responsibility. This conclusion highlights the sad reality of many toxic relationships, where love and sacrifice are sometimes taken to unhealthy levels.
