Perfect Life
Levina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside the light of the unexpected
Maybe I thrive
Outside the comfort zone
What is a prize without a fight
Yeah I got addicted
To what I thought I wanted
And all along
I've been walking asleep
Dreaming awake
Finding I bend but I don't break
I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint
Finding with every breath I take
I'm not afraid of making mistakes
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
That's what you call a perfect life
Gathering thorns from the stems of a thousand roses
Weathering storms on the long way home
I look for the sweet in every bitter moment tasted
In every last mistake I see the other side
I've been walking asleep
Dreaming awake
Finding I bend but I don't break
I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint
Finding with every breath I take
I'm not afraid of making mistakes
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
That's what you call a perfect
That's what you call a perfect
That's what you call a perfect life
I've been walking asleep
Dreaming awake
Finding I bend but I don't break
I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint
Finding with every breath I take
I'm not afraid of making mistakes
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
And that's what you call a perfect
That's what you call a perfect
And that's what you call a perfect life
Levina's song "Perfect Life" is a tribute to the beauty of imperfection and the lessons learned from making mistakes. The artist recognizes that life is not always as perfect as we envision it to be, but rather full of challenges that we must accept and overcome. The opening lines express an appreciation for unexpected experiences that allow her to thrive outside her comfort zone. She acknowledges that the things she once thought she wanted may not have been what she truly needed, and that sometimes the journey towards her goals is more important than the final result.
The song continues with a powerful message about self-discovery and resilience. Levina embraces her flaws and sees them as opportunities for growth. Despite facing hardships and obstacles, she remains steadfast and determined, refusing to be broken by the storms of life. The lyrics "I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint" suggest that she is neither entirely good nor entirely bad, but rather a complex and multi-dimensional human being.
Ultimately, Levina suggests that a "perfect life" is not one without problems or mistakes, but rather one where we embrace our imperfections and use them to learn, grow and evolve. She encourages her listeners to have faith in themselves and to approach life with a positive attitude, recognizing that sometimes things can go wrong before they go right.

Now I know! When I listen to her, I see the summer. My childhood sounded like this. It s a mass of green grass, flowers, woods and a super blue clear summer sky. It tastes just like this. Still, I can't remember exactly what it was that brought back all of the memories. But I m pretty sure that s the sound of warm sunny summer day to me💗💖💖💕u, Levina!
