Perfect
glee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss knowing it's all good, it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than less then perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You are perfect to me
You're so mean,
When you talk about yourself, you are wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
So complicated,
Look how big you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
Oh, pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
The whole world stared so I swallowed the fear,
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try, try, try,
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, 'cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
We change ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
(Why do I do that?)
(Yeah, oh pretty pretty please, oh)
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
The lyrics of the song “Perfect” by Glee feature an inspiring and empowering message that encourages self-acceptance and self-love. The song is about recognizing one's imperfections and setbacks while still embracing them as part of one's journey. The first verse talks about making mistakes and bad decisions but ultimately accepting them as part of one's silly life. The second verse touches upon feeling misunderstood and underestimated but still prevailing despite these challenges. The chorus's main message is that one shouldn't feel less than perfect and that, in fact, they are perfect just the way they are. The bridge touches upon the pressure of society to conform to certain ideals or standards and how one should instead focus on being true to themselves and accepting their flaws.
The song was originally written and performed by P!nk, and the Glee cover version was part of the show's second season. The vocals are performed by the show's cast members, Lea Michele and Dianna Agron, who portray the characters Rachel Berry and Quinn Fabray. The song was featured in the episode "I Am Unicorn," and it was also included in Glee's second soundtrack album, "Glee: The Music, Volume 7."
Line by Line Meaning
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
I've taken the wrong path a few times
Dug my way out, blood and fire
I clawed myself out of difficult situations, sometimes getting hurt in the process
Bad decisions, that's alright
I've made mistakes, but that's just part of life
Welcome to my silly life
This is just my ordinary, sometimes foolish life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
I've felt neglected, out of place, and misinterpreted
Miss knowing it's all good, it didn't slow me down
I wish I knew everything was going to be fine, but despite that uncertainty, I kept going
Mistaken, always second guessing
I've been wrong before and tend to doubt myself
Under estimated, look, I'm still around
People have underestimated me before, but I'm still here
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than less then perfect
I hope you always feel good about yourself and never feel unworthy or imperfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You are perfect to me
If you ever feel like you're nothing, remember that you are perfect to me
You're so mean,
When you talk about yourself, you are wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
Don't speak to yourself harshly, it's not true. Resist those negative voices in your head, and replace them with positive ones
So complicated,
Look how big you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Life is complex, and we tend to make it worse by hating on others or ourselves. I've reached my limits and tried my best to navigate it
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
I've fought hard to overcome my personal demons and I've seen you do the same
Oh, pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than less than perfect
Again, I hope you never feel like you're less than perfect
The whole world stared so I swallowed the fear,
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
I felt intimidated by everyone's attention, but I shouldn't have. All I want is a cold beer
So cool in line and we try, try, try,
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time
We try to be like everyone else and work hard for it, but it's not worth my time and effort
Done looking for the critics, 'cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
I'm not searching for the haters and critics, because they're everywhere. They don't even like my clothing or hair.
We change ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
We keep changing ourselves, but why do we keep doing that? Why do I keep doing that?
You're perfect, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
In the end, you're perfect. And, as always, you are perfect to me

Perfect (Kurt&Blaine)
Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss no way, it's all good
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try try try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
(why do I do that?)
Yeah! Oooh!
Oh pretty, pretty, please
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
(Hope this helped, give a like if it did)
