Perfect Life

Red

You pretend to what you say you feel
You pretend that you're something special
All your lies that you hide behind
I see right through you
See right through you

Paint it on, cover every inch
Any flaw will expose your weakness
I'm immune to your fantasy
I won't become you
Won't become you

You want a perfect, perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a perfect lie
I don't want your perfect life
I don't want your perfect life

So keep your dream with no consequence
You damage me just to feed your senses
All your fake for reality
I see right through you
See right through you

Take your pride, take your vanity
Can't you see that your ego's empty
I will turn, I will walk away
I won't become you
Won't become you

You want a perfect, perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a perfect lie
I don't want your perfect life
I don't want your perfect life
I don't want your perfect life

My eyes are wide open
I see the enemy, the hypocrisy
Your cover is fading
Secrets pouring out, castles falling down
Nothing to hide behind
I know who I am inside
I'm perfectly broken

You want a perfect, perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a empty lie
I don't want your perfect life
I don't want your perfect life

I don't want your perfect life
I don't want your perfect life
The perfect life

    My Interpretation

    This sounds like someone who is complaining about how bad their life is, but they are doing it for attention when they already know that their life is perfect

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
