Perfect Pussy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess he had to wAnnotateonder
Larger than life on screen
And now in technicolor
Where sickness gave me meaning

I'm young again
Consumed in bed by silks and pills
I'm twenty one again
Not yet concerned with men

If you had this chance
You wouldn't be the audience
You'd be the play itself
I'm just the star, baby
All things in time will be well
We just now found
How our light worked to trick the eye
I really think we should slow down

And you keep saying it's ok, but I still don't believe you
I guess I photograph well, remind me again what you do?
Stick your flesh in my mouth, say you like it when I bite
Cross your fingers and be nice and man I just might

But this learning is too much for me
This script is to heavy
I know I can hurt me
Far worse than you can hurt me

I'm no stranger to pain
I'd put a knife to my skin
And wait for some young man
To kick my broken door in

And my skin is full of blood
And my eyes are full of stars
And my blood is full of stars
And I'm so fucking embarrassed
And I'm so fucking happy now
And you had no idea
How much had changed once you left
Now you're back like it's nothing

We make love and fall so and it doesn't feel good
It's not magic it's work
But it's real and that's cool
What we have to lift
Is beyond heavy
Had surpassed normal
It has taken on my likeness

He doesn't change
But somehow he grows
Says he now knows
What life is like without me

And I'll buy anything
As long as it sounds good
But it doesn't matter
Everything is fine

Line by Line Meaning

I guess he had to wonder
He was curious about something


Larger than life on screen
An image that is bigger than in reality


And now in technicolor
Colorful and vivid


Where sickness gave me meaning
Sickness gave my life meaning


I'm young again
I feel young again


Consumed in bed by silks and pills
Taking drugs and resting in bed for long periods


I'm twenty one again
I feel like I'm twenty one again


Not yet concerned with men
Not yet worried about romantic relationships with men


If you had this chance
If you had this opportunity


You wouldn't be the audience
You wouldn't be just watching


You'd be the play itself
You'd be actively participating


I'm just the star, baby
I'm only the center of attention


All things in time will be well
Everything will be okay with time


We just now found
We only recently discovered


How our light worked to trick the eye
How our actions were deceiving to others


I really think we should slow down
I believe we should take things slower


And you keep saying it's ok, but I still don't believe you
You keep assuring me it's fine, but I'm still skeptical


I guess I photograph well, remind me again what you do?
I appear good in photos, but what is it that you do again?


Stick your flesh in my mouth, say you like it when I bite
Put your body part in my mouth and tell me you enjoy when I bite


Cross your fingers and be nice and man I just might
Be polite and maybe I will do what you want


But this learning is too much for me
I can't handle this amount of new information


This script is to heavy
This plan is too burdensome


I know I can hurt me
I know I can harm myself


Far worse than you can hurt me
More severe than any harm you could cause me


I'm no stranger to pain
I am familiar with pain


I'd put a knife to my skin
I would self-harm with a knife


And wait for some young man
Wait for someone young to come


To kick my broken door in
To enter my damaged home


And my skin is full of blood
My skin is bleeding


And my eyes are full of stars
My eyes are sparkling


And my blood is full of stars
My blood is sparkling


And I'm so fucking embarrassed
I am extremely ashamed


And I'm so fucking happy now
I am very happy now


And you had no idea
You had no clue


How much had changed once you left
How much has changed after you departed


Now you're back like it's nothing
Now you are back like nothing happened


We make love and fall so and it doesn't feel good
We have sex and it doesn't feel great


It's not magic it's work
It's not effortless, it requires effort


But it's real and that's cool
But it's true and that's fine


What we have to lift
What we need to carry


Is beyond heavy
Is overwhelmingly heavy


Had surpassed normal
Exceeded what is typical


It has taken on my likeness
It has become similar to me


He doesn't change
He remains the same


But somehow he grows
Yet he still manages to develop


Says he now knows
Claims to have knowledge now


What life is like without me
What it's like to live without me


And I'll buy anything
I will purchase anything


As long as it sounds good
As long as it sounds appealing


But it doesn't matter
But it's ultimately unimportant


Everything is fine
Everything is okay
