This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Compare the way my body looks through the magazines,
don't know why everybody's buying into the scene.
So I'm gonna drive down the boulevard
not caring who has the fastest car,
tone down the makeup, and the noise,
cause whats inside will bring the boys.
I don't wanna look like you because
you're too perfect
you're too perfect.
and I don't wanna fill your shoes cause
its not worth it
its not worth it
don't fill the mold, i am real
too colorful to conceal.
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
if skin and bones is the secret to all your happiness
then pop your pills cause the money is never gonna last
so save the plastic for the toys,
come out your shell just make a noise
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna smile and not fit in
I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna strut
I'll shake my curves
and not give a fuck
I don't wanna look like you because
your too perfect
your too perfect.
and i don't wanna fill your shoes cause its
not worth it its not worth it
don't fit the mold, i am real.
too colorful to conceal.
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
just dry your eyes your beautiful
I understand its logical
cause these images are everywhere
they're make believe so don't compare
I don't wanna compare
were every shape and size
you know we're
just perfect
were just perfect
we love our hips our thighs
because they're
just perfect
just perfect
don't fit the mold, I am real.
to colorful to conceal.
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
I don't wanna look like you because
your too perfect
your too perfect.
and i don't wanna fill your shoes because its
not worth it its not worth it
don't fit the mold, i am real
too colorful to conceal.
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
imperfect is the new perfect
don't know why everybody's buying into the scene.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i found this song through a shanedawsontv video on youtube, too. its my favorite song at the moment.. hah. the message is ungodly obvious. the idea of 'perfect' that the media gives us is a load of crap. no REAL person is anything like that. "Were every shape and size, you know were just perfect" People are in every size and shape and were perfect in our own way. Our imperfections make us perfect. my favorite line in the entire song is- "I don't fit the mold, I am real, too colorful, to conceal."
