Perfectly Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This part feels like she’s talking about putting things off until she’s ready, not rushing her process. She’s okay with waiting for a better version of herself to show up. She trusts that in the end, people will recognize she did things her own way, and that it was the right way for her. It’s like she’s discovering new ways to live and breathe—different paths, different versions of herself. And through all those shifts, she knows she’ll still be seen as someone who did it “perfectly” in her own unique way.

[Refrain]
She’s painting a picture of her mind as a peaceful place. Even if things look messy or random—like a messy room—it all feels just right to her. In her head, things make sense and she’s the happiest, even if it doesn’t look perfect on the outside.

[Chorus]
Here, she’s being real about messing up. She knows she’s going to make mistakes, probably more than once. But instead of being hard on herself, she’s choosing to let it go each time. The “la-la-la” part gives off a carefree, light vibe, like she’s dancing through the chaos instead of letting it weigh her down.

[Verse 2]
She’s imagining a different version of her life—maybe a future, maybe a fantasy—where everything blends together into something new. This version of her has it all, and people still admire her for being one-of-a-kind. She sees herself as someone who stood out and did things in a way that truly worked.

[Refrain]
Again, she’s reminding us that her mind is her happy place. No matter what’s going on around her, inside her head she’s content. It might not look perfect to others, but it feels just right to her.

[Chorus]
She keeps repeating this honest, raw moment where she accepts she’ll mess up. It’s not dramatic—it’s just part of who she is. And instead of fighting it, she shrugs it off with a soft “let it go.” It shows emotional freedom and self-acceptance.

[Refrain]
Once more, she’s bringing us back to that calm mental space where everything chaotic somehow fits. Even if her surroundings or life seem out of order, it all makes sense in her own world.

[Outro]
In this final part, she fully embraces herself and her life. She feels connected to everything and loved in return. There’s this strong, uplifting energy—like she’s stepped into a new, more powerful version of herself. She calls her journey a “masterpiece,” even if it’s exaggerated or dramatic, because that’s how it feels to her. Something inside is pulling her toward this better future or deeper truth. She’s proud of how far she’s come and believes she did it all just right, with love and confidence guiding her the whole way.
