BE PERFECT Lyrics – Odetari

Meaning of ‘BE PERFECT’ Lyrics Explained

Intro Meaning:
Just sounds and vibes, no clear words or story.

Chorus Meaning:
The singer admits they often do silly or bad things when they are alone. They feel unsure and confused about themselves during those moments, showing a side of vulnerability and struggle.

Verse Meaning:
The singer confesses they didn’t use good judgment and acted impulsively. Their life changed a lot, and now they’re trying to fix things. They mention mixing fame with drinking, which causes problems. They feel trapped inside themselves, like a prisoner. Even though they have many people around, they feel overwhelmed and like they’re sinking or drowning. The fame and attention don’t feel as great as they expected, and they’re lost about where to stand or find stability.

Pre-Chorus Meaning:
The singer repeats that they don’t know where their stability or balance is. They feel unsure about their place or direction in life.

Chorus Meaning:
Again, the singer repeats how they make many mistakes when alone. It shows that being by themselves brings out a side of them that’s reckless or confused. They keep emphasizing how lost and unsure they are, almost like they don’t fully understand themselves or why they act this way. This repetition underlines their ongoing struggle with their feelings and decisions, especially when there’s no one else around to influence them.

Outro Meaning:
The singer says no one should blame just them because others share responsibility too. They recognize everyone’s life is different, so it’s hard to compare. They question what’s worse — suffering in life or facing something worse. They see people hurting in their family, but it feels like no one really cares or values that pain. People only want to see them succeed and keep working, not to feel sad or weak. Even when feeling overwhelmed, they put on a strong front, telling others they have everything and are perfect, hiding their real struggles.
