Perfect Day
Kindred Spirits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And left a new day
Nothing seems to move everything is still
It's just a perfect day
The shadows and light
That move with the wind
Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray
On the wild and misty hillside
Fear is nature's warning
Hunger here is never far away
On the wild and misty hillside
Fear is nature's warning
Hunger here is never far away
And all of this world
Is for children who play
Days that never end always should remain
Another perfect day
The song "Perfect Day" by Kindred Spirits creates a beautiful picture of a perfect day where everything is still and nothing seems to move. The lyrics "The rain has moved on and left a new day" signals a new beginning and a fresh start, which is perfectly conveyed by the peaceful nature of the scenery. The words "Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray" implies that the day is beautiful and vibrant with nature's colors.
The contrast between the "wild and misty hillside" and the "perfect day" adds depth and complexity to the lyrics. The line "Fear is nature's warning" suggests that life isn't always perfect and that there are dangers in the world, like hunger, that are never far away. The lyrics illustrate that despite these imperfections and life's difficult moments, children playing in a world where "days never end" can create a perfect day.
