Perfectly
TNT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know who I really am, don't you girl
Even I don't understand me
You've seen darker days than I've ever known
Still you shine brighter than anyone

Stay in this dream forever
Hoping that tomorrow never comes
To take this life away from me

You said that you're not going anywhere
And I believe you when you say it
But sometimes I forget you're not like the rest
And I go down into my weakness

Stay in this dream forever
Hoping that tomorrow never comes
To take this life away from me
Couldn't be any better
Maybe if tomorrow never comes
Everything ends perfectly

Stay in this dream forever
Hoping that tomorrow never comes
To take this life away from me
Couldn't be any better




Maybe if tomorrow never comes
Everything ends perfectly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of TNT's song "Perfectly" express both gratitude and fear of losing someone who understands and loves the singer at their worst. The first verse conveys how the person the singer addresses in the song knows them better than they know themselves. This could be a reference to how we sometimes struggle to understand our own emotions or actions, and how someone close to us can see us more objectively. The second line of the verse, "Even I don't understand me", could also refer to the idea that we constantly change and evolve as people, and that it's hard to keep up with ourselves sometimes. The following line, "You've seen darker days than I've ever known", suggests that this person has been through challenging times, possibly with the singer, but they haven't given up on them. "Still you shine brighter than anyone" is a beautiful way of saying that this person exudes positivity and hope, which is a contrast to the darkness that's implied.


The chorus repeats the line "Stay in this dream forever" as a plea to the person to not leave, and the sentiment behind it is that the singer sees their life as a dream because it's too good to be true. However, they're also afraid of the possibility of this dream ending, which is why they hope that tomorrow never comes to take their life away. The line "Couldn't be any better" repeats twice, and it seems like the singer is trying to convince themselves of this idea, that things are so good right now that there's no way it could get better, so they want this moment to last forever. The last line, "Maybe if tomorrow never comes, everything ends perfectly" is a bittersweet one, because it suggests that the singer would rather die in this perfect moment than face the reality of life moving on.


Overall, the song is a tribute to the love and support that we receive from people who see us as we are, without judgment or criticism. It's also a cautionary tale of how we need to cherish these relationships and not take them for granted, as life can be unpredictable and fleeting.

You know who I really am, don't you girl
You understand me better than anyone else


Even I don't understand me
I am confused about my own identity


You've seen darker days than I've ever known
You have experienced more difficult times than I have


Still you shine brighter than anyone
Despite your past, you radiate strength and positivity

Maybe if tomorrow never comes
Maybe if I could stay in this moment forever


Everything ends perfectly
This moment and our love is all I need
