Perfect Life
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song Perfect Life by Useless ID speaks to the struggles and frustrations that many people feel as they navigate through life. The opening lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and directionless, unsure of how to succeed in a world that often feels like a dead end. The use of the phrase "big race" reinforces the idea that life can be a competition, where success and failure are often determined by external factors rather than personal merit.
The chorus highlights the dichotomy between the outward appearance of success and the inner turmoil that can accompany it. The sunny day that looks so gray represents the gap between the expectations of a perfect life and the reality of everyday struggles. The game of life can often feel like a never-ending cycle of disappointment and loss, making it difficult to find meaning and purpose.
Despite the challenges, the song encourages listeners to keep fighting and not give up. The final lines suggest that there is power in understanding and accepting one's place in the world, even if it doesn't fit the conventional mold of success. By embracing their individuality and facing their fears, people can find a sense of fulfillment and purpose that goes beyond the superficial trappings of a perfect life.
Line by Line Meaning
haven't got a sign or a clue of how you should be of what you should do to win the big race
You have no idea how to be successful in life
such a disgrace when there is no way out on a dead end street
It's shameful when you're stuck on a path with no future
can't make it right can't stand on your feet when you got knocked down fell on the cold ground
You struggle to get back up when life knocks you down
so what now?
What's your next move?
how come such a sunny day can look so gray?
Even good days can feel depressing
And you just can not figure out why you don't want to keep on playing
You feel lost and unsure of your purpose
is this game a bunch of lies and you feel you have had enough
You're starting to question the authenticity of life
you want to fill the empty half of what you lost on your way here
You yearn to regain what you've lost
you have got to fight through all your fears in this game of life
You must overcome your fears to succeed in life
no need to run no need to hide
You don't have to hide from your problems
next time you fall on the cold ground you will know why the sky is so grey
You'll understand why life can feel bleak when you fall again
why there is no need for you to keep on playing
You realize you don't need to follow everyone else's path
cause you don't belong in this big race at all!
You don't fit into society's expectations and that's okay

I first heard this song a few weeks ago when I started listening to the Useless I.D. albums. I instantly loved it, and I hadn't looked at the lyrics then until later on. The lyrics are perfect. The final chorus really hits you. 🔥
