Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself
I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flyleaf/perfect.html ]
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
I tried to kill you
You tried to save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
I think it's about her not being perfect because shes lonely without a guy she loves or whatever. I don't think it's about religion because they say they are not a christian band themselves in wikipedia. It's about not being perfect and lonely because the person you love isn't with you anymore.
All my efforts to clean me
leave me putrid and filthy
and how can you look at me
when i can't stand myself
I'm tired to be honest
i'm nobody
Perfect in weakness
i'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Let's accept the fact that we can save ourself... Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life... He's the only one who could save us despite of our imperfections...
We are perfect in weakness because it is god who strenthens me...
"i can do all things through christ who strengthens me... "
philippians 4:13
I tried to be honest i'm nobody,
perfect in weakness
i'm only perfect in just your strength alone
That's my favorite because that's very true... When we are weak, that's the best time that god could exhibit his great power so that we will not rely on our own strength but we should rely on his strength...
No matter how much we try to be good we always seem to eventually fail - but those who are into god through christ are seen as perfect from god's point of view - this is one of the mysteries that we can be perfect in christ and strong through him even when we are weak. In fact when we are weak we end up depending on christ and allow him to be strong for us - he wants us to depend on him because when we depend on ourselves... We always seem to eventually fail
I think people can take their own meanings from the lyrics, to me it speaks of abuse and trying to over come that abuse. When ever i listen to it all i can think of is a character from a book who was abused, molested and raped. And the scene where he's in the tub and scrubbing his skin raw, repeating over and over, "i'm dirty" "i'm poison," "sick, sick, sick... " and it just makes me want to cry.
I think its about she tried to kill someone that loved her but like he didnt die but she thought he did then she was going to be killed but he saved her or not but whatever it means its a kickass song =d chaa!!!
