Perfect
The Cruxshadows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting difficult
Each moment here alone
And it's getting dark outside
And stranger here without you
But I see a firefly
Glowing in the summer sky
Like bright confetti
Burning in the night
How do you do it?
You make me feel this way
How do you do it?
All these games we play
How do you do it?
How can you say the things you say?
How do you do it?
It breaks my heart every day
Eveyday like yesterday
I don't think you know that I believe in you
I don't think you understand how much I love you still
I don't think you realize, that you are perfect in my eyes
And I don't think you know that I believe...
In you
It's getting harder
Everyday like yesterday
And tomorrow feels unreachable
A thousand years away
But I see a firefly
Swimming in the air tonight
Like bright confetti
Dancing in my mind
I spiral into circles
And all of this for you




So tell me how to find you now
And tell me what to do...

Overall Meaning

The Cruxshadows's song Perfect is a poignant and emotional expression of the struggle to cope with the absence of a loved one. The lyrics depict a feeling of despair and loneliness, shown by the line "It's getting difficult / each moment here alone," and the imagery of the "dark outside" and feeling "stranger here without you." However, amidst the darkness, the singer finds hope in the image of a "firefly / glowing in the summer sky / like bright confetti / burning in the night." The firefly serves as a symbol of a little light of hope in the darkness and a reminder of the beauty of the world.


The singer then addresses the person they are missing, asking, "How do you do it? / You make me feel this way / How do you do it? / All these games we play / How do you do it? / How can you say the things you say?" It's clear that the person has a powerful impact on the singer's emotions and inner state, but at the same time, they cause pain and heartbreak. The singer emphasizes the depth of their feelings by saying, "It breaks my heart every day / Every day like yesterday."


Despite the pain and heartbreak, the singer makes it clear that they still hold a deep affection for the person, stating, "I don't think you realize, that you are perfect in my eyes / And I don't think you know that I believe... in you." The song ends on a note of uncertainty, as the singer wonders how to cope with their feelings, asking, "So tell me how to find you now / And tell me what to do..."
