Perfect
Cult To Follow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help me forget, these memories of you
And everything that never was

I'll mend from this, with all of my regrets
And all your secrets of the past

There's nothing wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with you
My god we are so perfect.

Perfect laugh
Perfect fake
Perfect chance to get away

Perfect love
Perfect hate
My Perfect fate that you could obtain

You do anything to make me suffer
But I could not let you go
Your so perfect
Perfect

You will forget
These memories of me
And everything that could have been

There's nothing wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with you
My god we are so perfect.

Perfect laugh
Perfect fake
Perfect chance to get away

Perfect love
Perfect hate
My Perfect fate that you could obtain

You do anything to make me suffer
But I could not let you go
Your so perfect
PERFECT!

(There's nothing wrong with me)
(There's nothing wrong with you)

(There's nothing wrong with me)
(There's nothing wrong with you)

(There's nothing wrong with me)
(There's nothing wrong with you)

(There's nothing wrong with me)
(There's nothing wrong with you)

(There's nothing wrong with me)
(There's nothing wrong with you)

My god, your so perfect!
My god, your so perfect!

Perfect laugh
Perfect fake
Perfect chance to get away

Perfect love
Perfect hate
My Perfect fate that you could obtain

You'd do anything to make me suffer
But I could not let you go
Your so perfect

Perfect laugh
Perfect fake
Perfect chance to get away

Perfect love
Perfect hate
My Perfect fate that you could obtain

Your so perfect

Could obtain

Your so perfect

Could obtain

Your so perfect





Could obtain

Overall Meaning

The song "Perfect" by Cult To Follow describes a toxic relationship where one partner is manipulative and emotionally abusive towards the other, yet the victim cannot let go of their perfection. The lyrics show the victim asking for help in forgetting everything about their partner since nothing ever worked out between them. Still, they cannot let go due to the false impression of a perfect relationship. The victim acknowledges the "perfect" moments and the "perfect" chances for their partner to escape, but they do not want to leave.


The chorus, "There's nothing wrong with me, there's nothing wrong with you, my god we are so perfect," is a sarcastic response to the fact that there is clearly an issue in their relationship. The victim realizes that their partner is not really perfect, but they cannot leave the toxic individual. The bridge of the song illustrates the victim reaching a realization that their partner will eventually forget them and everything they could have been, whereas the victim will continue to romanticize their partner's perfection in their mind.


Overall, the song is a painful reminder of the victims of abusive relationships, where they cannot acknowledge the situation they are in and accept the reality of the situation. It highlights how the perception of perfection can keep someone in a harmful situation.
