Simple Plan: Perfect Meaning
Perfect Lyrics
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you...

This is one of my favorite songs. I discovered my interpretation of it a couple of years ago when I was going through a rough time and it just happened to be playing. I had been a rough summer I had gotten myself into a lot of trouble. Before this I had always been the perfect kid who always got straight A's and did everything my parents wanted me to do. That summer I snapped and I was sitting in my basement after a huge fight with my mom about some of the crap I had been doing, when this song came on the radio. After an hour long fight about how I was living up to my potential, it was really good to hear a song that was basically telling me it's fien to not be perfect you can't always do everything right. The even deeper message that helped me through this time was that I felt like the song was addressing my shortcomings and saying you only have to do what you want to do, and I've lived up to those words ever since.

This song is WICKED! People say there whining and saying how crap there life is but its actully deticated to parent who didn't want them in a band. I fell in love with it as soon as it came out.. It makes me cry because it relates to me and my life. I live with my grandparents because my mum is in Rehab and my dad is in prison. My mum wasnt always a druggy she was a smart inteligent person got good grades in school along with all my other uncles and unties. I don't do so well at school as my cousins because I have had a pretty messed up life not living with either or my parents for 6 years. My nana is always saying how good my mum and her brothers and sisters were at school and how my cousins are, and I'm a failer to the family. It sucks soo much, I don't get to do wat most teenages get to do, and I hav to do more then other teenages have to do!

This song allmost makes me cry because I can't stand the music video. I don't mean that its bad, or anything...but it makes me so emotional. I am a child in a mix of 5 and I turned out so much diffrent then the others. They are all in college and when they were high school they made great grades, did all the extra-cir and everything. I on the other hand have not and it makes me so different in their eys(my parents). In all this is a great song and it makes a wonderfull piece of music. I wish that I could get away and still be different.

This is my favorite song, and I agree with the other person who replied, but this is how I think it relates to me. Ever since I was a young kid, I was expected to be good, and do great in everything. I was captain of the cheerleading squad, I went to nationals at an acting tournament, and I even won in a beauty pageant. On top of it all I am expected to get perfect grades. No matter how hard I try at everything, it's never enough. There's never a point when someone says,"good job - you can take a break". No - I have to be perfect. Well I'm sorry - I can't be perfect. An that's how I feel this song when this song plays.
