Perfection Lyrics

Oh, how you stop me
With your mad dark eyes
Something has caught me
Between here and the outside

Oh, a fantasy
Makes its own light
I sink into it
Night after night after night

Oh, you're closed for the season
All snowed in
But I need power and reason
Some recognition for keeping my feet on the ground

Raise your hopes up high
High horses
I'm made of birds
So you don't have no choices

Ah, you're heaven sent (oh, you're heavy)
I know not how (oh, you're heavy)
Ah, you're heaven sent (oh, you're heavy)
It's too heavy for me now

Oh, how you got me
With your harshest test
I can't deal, I can't deal
Oh, with your perfection yet

I can't deal, I can't deal
I can't deal with your perfection yet
I can't deal, I can't deal
I can't deal with your perfection yet

I can't deal, I can't deal
Deal, I can't deal
Oh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Oh a fantasy makes it's own light" - this is her song to the perceived "perfection" of the person who she has become intensely infatuated with. She is enveloped in that fantastical beginning of a relationship where it is so blinding that you only see a person's unique beauty. The cracks in their facade and their human failings are not evident as of yet. To quote Bane," Now is not the time for fear. That comes later."
