Perfume
Veridia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last drop in my cup was tasteless
Fill me up
All my dreams are sleepin'
Nightmares won't quit complaining
Wake me up
Wish I could see how you see
'Cause you got that thing I've been wanting
I wanna bathe inside your light
I wanna live like you do
Breathing life into the room
Tap into and distill it
Bottle it to sell it
Pour it all over me
Like, perfume
You just have that presence
Inhaling all your essence
Is not enough
Show me how you do it
You find joy in every moment
It's all I want
Wish I could see how you see
And telescope behind your eyes
'Cause you got that thing I've been wanting
I wanna bathe inside your light
I needed something to believe in
Reason to fight through this feelin'
You gave me something to believe in
Reason to fight through this feelin'
The song "Perfume" by Veridia is about seeking inspiration and motivation from someone's positive energy. The first verse starts with the singer admitting to being too complacent, feeling uninspired and empty. She asks for some kind of motivation to fill her up and make her feel alive again. The second verse focuses on the desire to understand how this person sees the world, and how they are able to find joy in every moment, even when life is difficult. The chorus references the idea of wanting to "live like you do" and bottle up their positive energy like perfume to always have it with her. In the bridge, the singer expresses gratitude for this person who has given her a reason to keep fighting through difficult times.
The song ultimately encourages listeners to seek out positive role models who can inspire and motivate them to be their best selves. By seeing the world through someone else's eyes and tapping into their energy, we can find hope and a reason to keep going. The metaphor of perfume also connects to the idea of creating a personal brand or identity, and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences.
