In a Perfect World

"Even if I wise up there's always a price
Serenity betrays and troubles arise

But baby, they're not here to stay

...
'Cause any day fortune may wander down, dear
And we can see a world that is milk and honey
The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
There's always a promise of a silver lining
There's that elation of perfect timing
In a perfect world"


It talks about the rollercoaster life is. All the problems and challenges we face every day. The emotions that we feel, even when we don't understand them or even want them. And the reason why we keep trying is hope, we believe something good will come, at the right time. For me though, sometimes this is not enough.

"Serenity betrays and troubles arise" has a special meaning for me. I wish for internal peace more than I wish for anything else in this world. But serenity is never permanent, only in death, I assume.

The Sweet Escape

Two beautiful verses:

"Cause you're fearless in your love
Devoted to compassion
The highest state of art
Piercing in your truth
Sincere in all intention
The way you wear your heart
The way you hold my heart"

I think this is how love should be. I wish I could be fearless, and never hold back. I wish my intentions were only pure, without desiring anything in return. And I wish I could care about others more times than I do about myself.

"And this is why I love you
Why you're the only one
You're the only one
Who has seen me come undone
And then seen beyond"

And this is how I think love would reply back. Someone that is there for you and think the world of you, even after seeing the darkest part of your soul.
