Perfect Disaster
Drew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel like Russian roulette
With five bullets
I put my money on red
But they all say I lose it
Oh, your lies are so sweet
Jealousy so romantic
We fight so beautifully
So I just gotta have it

With you I'm gonna die young
But without you nothing's fine
And I know that I should run
But I put my money on red
With you I'm gonna die young
The heart wants the things it wants
You know that you should run
But you put your money on red 'cause

First time you laid eyes on me
That second it was tragedy
And third day we were meant to be
Before we were a perfect disaster
Five days in the room
I'm waking up to six missed calls
In seven days we'll give it all
And 'round it goes as perfect disaster
Won't you come back on faster, faster, yeah

If you settle for safe
Hearts won't break
What a boring mistake
You know real love when it aches
When I don't answer your call
Boy, you start to panic
At the end of it all
Guess we love it dramatic

With you I'm gonna die young
But without you nothing's fine
And I know that I should run
But I put my money on red
With you I'm gonna die young
The heart wants the things it wants
You know that you should run
But you put your money on red 'cause

First time you laid eyes on me
That second it was tragedy
And third day we were meant to be
Before we were a perfect disaster
Five days in the room
I'm waking up to six missed calls
In seven days we'll give it all
And 'round it goes as perfect disaster
Won't you come back on faster, faster, yeah

Tell me where you go after, after, after
Could you give me an answer, answer?
Tell me where we go after, after, after
I can't go any faster, faster, faster, faster

First time you laid eyes on me
That second it was tragedy
And third day we were meant to be
Before we were a perfect disaster
Five days in the room
I'm waking up to six missed calls
In seven days we'll give it all
And 'round it goes as perfect disaster
Won't you come back on faster, faster, yeah




Perfect disaster
Won't you come back on faster, faster, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Perfect Disaster" by Drew reflects the feeling of being in an intense and tumultuous relationship that is not healthy but hard to resist. The opening lyrics of the song, "Feel like Russian roulette, With five bullets, I put my money on red, But they all say I lose it," convey a sense of gambling with high stakes. The lyrics imply that the relationship is like a game of chance with dire consequences. Despite the risks, the singer is drawn to the thrill of the relationship.


The chorus of the song, "With you I'm gonna die young, But without you nothing's fine, And I know that I should run, But I put my money on red," reflects the essential themes of the song. The singer knows that it's probably better to leave the relationship, but they are so deeply invested in it that they cannot bring themselves to do it. The line, "The heart wants the things it wants," highlights the strong feeling the person has for their lover that makes it hard to extricate oneself from the situation.


The song "Perfect Disaster" is not about giving up on love. Instead, it is a reflection on the push and pull of a relationship that can be both exhilarating and exhausting. Ultimately, the singer seems resigned to the fact that it may end in disaster but is willing to take the risk.


Line by Line Meaning

Feel like Russian roulette With five bullets
I'm in a precarious situation where danger is lurking around every corner because of the choices I've made.


I put my money on red But they all say I lose it
Despite conventional wisdom, I have faith in my decisions, but others tell me that I'm likely to fail.


Oh, your lies are so sweet Jealousy so romantic We fight so beautifully So I just gotta have it
As toxic as our relationship might be, the passion and intensity of our fights and makeups make it all worth it to me.


With you I'm gonna die young But without you nothing's fine And I know that I should run But I put my money on red
Being with you might lead to a faster demise for me, but without you, life just doesn't feel as vibrant or meaningful. Despite the risks, I'm willing to bet everything on us.


The heart wants the things it wants You know that you should run But you put your money on red 'cause
When it comes to love and desire, logic and reason take a back seat to our deepest desires and impulses.


First time you laid eyes on me That second it was tragedy And third day we were meant to be Before we were a perfect disaster
Our relationship was tumultuous from the start, but there was something about the intensity of our chemistry that made it impossible to resist.


Five days in the room I'm waking up to six missed calls In seven days we'll give it all And 'round it goes as perfect disaster
Our relationship is a rollercoaster, with intense highs and crashing lows, and we keep coming back to each other despite the chaos and drama.


If you settle for safe Hearts won't break What a boring mistake You know real love when it aches
Playing it safe might protect us from pain, but it also robs us of the passion and vulnerability that makes love truly meaningful and transformative.


When I don't answer your call Boy, you start to panic At the end of it all Guess we love it dramatic
Our relationship is defined by heightened emotions and intense reactions, even over the smallest things. We can't help but get wrapped up in the drama.


Tell me where you go after, after, after Could you give me an answer, answer? Tell me where we go after, after, after I can't go any faster, faster, faster, faster
Even as I know we're on a collision course, I can't stop myself from getting wrapped up in the dysfunction and hoping that, somehow, everything will work out in the end.


Perfect disaster Won't you come back on faster, faster, yeah
Despite all the pain and dysfunction, there's something about our relationship that just feels right, like it's meant to be. I can't help but keep coming back, again and again.

I recently had my wedding, pretty small scale, in a small bistro near my house. During the dinner ceremony, the restaurant played this song and I was instantly hooked. I immediately had to search up Spotify and I was utterly shocked when I saw that this song's listens wasn't in the tens of millions.
Whenever I hear this song now, I am teleported back to the wonderful memory of marrying my beloved wife.
Perfect Disaster has earned a permanent spot in my playlist and my heart.

Thank you Drew, for the amazing music!
