Perfect Day
sugar me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drink sangria in the park
And then later
When it gets dark, we go home
Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later
A movie, too, and then home
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun
Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was
Someone else, someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
The lyrics to "Perfect Day" by Sugar Me depict a day of absolute tranquility and happiness. The song paints the picture of spending time in the park with friends, indulging in sangria, feeding animals at the zoo, watching a movie and finally, spending enjoyable quality time with the person who makes the day "perfect." Each stanza of the song describes a different activity that comprises the perfect day. The mood of the song is mellow and relaxed, capturing the essence of a stress-free day spent with loved ones.
However, the last few lines of the song, "You're going to reap just what you sow," suggests that the singer is perhaps regretful of their past actions, and, as a consequence, they will face the consequences. The line is repeated three times, emphasizing its importance and giving the impression that the perfect day might be a fleeting moment of respite from a difficult reality. The ambiguity of the lyrics- the stark contrast between the first and last verses- creates a sense of tension and unease that is not immediately evident when listening to the song.
Overall, "Perfect Day" by Sugar Me is a sweet and melancholic song that describes a flawless day filled with joy, laughter, and intimate moments. However, it leaves the listener with a sense of bittersweetness, as the ending suggests that the calm and peacefulness are only temporary, and that the inevitable consequences of past actions will eventually catch up.
