Perfect
Lightning Seeds Lyrics

See the rivers filled with rain
The rainwater has filled up the rivers and they look different, like most things do when they change. Change can be hard.

I wish it could be blue again
The blue color seems to be symbolic of something good and pure, and the singer wishes things could go back to being that way.

Hazy petrol nights
The singer is probably sitting in a car and looking out at the streetlights with the warm, dull light that petrol fumes can create. It's a specific atmosphere that can evoke different feelings in people.

Crimson sun on traffic lights
The crimson color creates an image of heat, passion, and intensity, and the reference to traffic lights probably suggests a feeling of being trapped in some way.

A perfect day a perfect night
The idea of a perfect day and a perfect night might seem unattainable, but it's something that people still strive for. It's a human desire to have things be good and happy all the time.

Tell me all those perfect lies
The singer is asking someone to tell them what they want to hear, even if it's not true. Sometimes people tell lies to avoid hurting others, but the truth can be painful too.

And lie back in the garden 'till it's light
The singer seems content with taking things slow and relaxing, even if it means doing nothing for a while. It's a moment of peace and tranquility to just rest and be still.

Streets get full up every night
The streets are always crowded, especially at night when everyone is out and about. People are drawn to certain places for specific reasons, and the artist is acknowledging that fact.

With people buzzing round the lights
The bustling activity on the streets can be compared to the buzzing of bees around flowers. It's a busy and loud environment that can be both exciting and overwhelming.

And waving at the taxis driving by
The artist is probably a part of the crowd, and there are taxis passing by that people are waving to. It's a moment of connection with strangers in a chaotic environment.

Now tomorrow's here today
The future always becomes the present, and time keeps moving. It's easy to feel like things are moving too fast, but it's important to live in the moment as much as possible.

And yesterday's today's just fade away
The past seems to become less vivid as we move further from it. Memories can become hazy and details can be forgotten, but they still shape who we are in the present.

Watch the morning chase the night
As the night fades away, the sun rises and the morning begins. It's the start of a new day with new opportunities and challenges to face.

Rolling home, it's getting light
The singer is either driving or being driven home, and it's starting to become light outside. It's the end of a long night and a time to unwind.

Feeling sleepy, full of wine
The singer might have had a bit to drink and is feeling the effects. They're probably feeling relaxed but also tired, ready to rest after a long night.

Fall in bed, just in time
The artist is finally able to lay down and rest. It's a moment of relief and comfort after a long day, and everything feels just right.

The perfect stare of perfect eyes
The reference to perfect eyes might suggest a feeling of being infatuated or in love with someone. It's a powerful feeling that can make everything else feel insignificant.

That kiss you as they tell you lies
The singer is probably referring to a moment of being deceived or misled by someone they care about. Lies can be hurtful and damaging, even if they're told with good intentions.

And wonder where you're going, where've you been
The singer is questioning their own path in life and is probably feeling a bit lost or uncertain. It's a common feeling to wonder if we're on the right track, but it can also be liberating to explore different paths.

In towers high with time to fill
The reference to towers might suggest a feeling of being isolated or disconnected from the world below. It can be lonely up high, and the artist is acknowledging that they have time to fill and things to do.

Gardens on your window sill
The idea of a garden on a window sill might suggest a feeling of being trapped or confined, but it's also a way to bring a little bit of nature inside. It's a small way of finding beauty in unexpected places.

In between the pavement and the sky
The reference to pavement might suggest a feeling of being grounded or rooted to the earth, while the sky represents endless possibilities and dreams. It's a balancing act between the two worlds.

Perfect silence me and you
The idea of perfect silence might suggest a moment of clarity or understanding. The singer is probably with someone they care about and there's nothing that needs to be said.

It's really me, I really do
The artist might be reassuring themselves that they're being authentic and true to their own beliefs and values. It's a moment of self-validation.

Remember every moment magnified
The idea of magnifying memories might suggest a feeling of nostalgia or longing for the past. It's a reminder that even small moments can have a big impact on our lives and should be cherished.

Tell me why all the words will never come out right
The singer is acknowledging that words can fail us at times, even when we have the best intentions. Communication can be difficult, but it's still important to keep trying.

Fumbling blind, I've been driving through the danger signs
The singer is probably feeling lost or unsure about where they're going in life. They're driving through unfamiliar territory and might be taking risks or making mistakes along the way.
