Perfect World
Ring of Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone has demands
One grain of sand makes a pearl
I want a perfect world
Making promises is easier
That to fulfill
A miracle will last forever
We all imagine a perfect world
The kind of place where everything's alright
We are connected, we are troubled
So many answers, still no cure
Sleeping on dreams of a perfect world tonight
Why are you trying to hide
We're all the same inside
So many flags are unfurled
I want a perfect world
All our life is only just a feather in the wind
A miracle will last forever
We are the people of the planet
We all imagine a perfect world
The kind of place where everything's alright
We are connected, we are troubled
So many answers, still no cure
Sleeping on dreams of a perfect world tonight
The lyrics of Ring of Fire's song Perfect World express the universal human desire to attain a utopian world. The opening lines reveal that everyone has a plan and demands, but ultimately, one small effort can turn into something beautiful, represented by the pearl formed by a grain of sand. The singer then longs for a perfect world where promises are fulfilled easily and miracles last forever.
The second verse continues with the theme of unity, emphasizing that we are all connected and dream of a world where everything is okay. However, the reality is that we are troubled and still struggling to find answers. The last line implies that even though we may not have achieved it yet, we continue to sleep on dreams of a perfect world tonight.
Overall, the song's message is that we all hope to achieve a world free of problems and full of love, but we must recognize our struggles and work towards finding solutions. Instead of hiding behind our differences and unfurled flags, we should focus on our common goals and aspirations for a brighter future.
