Red - Perfect Life (Official Music Video)

[@Deannac_art]

It's about not falling victim to the world and other material things. We as Christians are promised eternal life in heaven, yet we are just as human as anyone else. That being said, we give in to all the worldly things that truly don't matter. RED is singing about turning away from that and realizing there are better things to be found when we follow God. This is personally one of my favorites on this album :)

[@Kyrnyx]

Understanding the concept of duality is key to living a long life. Happiness cannot exist without sadness. Whoever reads this, know that your suffering won't last forever. Keep going.

[@niky9965]

This is so true about society! Love this band

[@accumulator4825]

Yeah, love how RED portrays the faults in today's society.

[@UnbornTurd]

I agree :D The faults in the individuals who set other values above God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person can go through the gates of Heaven. Something like that lol Sorry for my going on lol RED sings what I feel. Pieces, So Far Away, Breathe, etc etc etc. And as I write this my heart has softened to allow God to come in again. Please pray that I remember to act as Jesus would and show love. I tend to have that pesky "I got my feelings hurt" junk and then react.

[@accumulator4825]

I'm glad you like thinking about these things as much as I do haha, keep it up and stay open-minded ;)

You pretend what you say you feel You pretend that you're something special All the lies that you hide behind I see right through you, see right through you Paint it on, cover every inch Any flaw will expose your weakness I'm immune to your fantasy I won't become you, won't become you.. You want a perfect, PERFECT LIFE Nothing wrong, nothing real inside All I see is a perfect lie. I don't want your perfect life [x2] So, keep your dream with no consequence You'd damage me just to feed your senses All you fake for reality I see right through you, see right through you Take your pride, take your vanity Can't you see that your ego's empty? I will turn, I will walk away I won't become you, won't become you.. You want a perfect, PERFECT LIFE Nothing wrong, nothing real inside All I see is a perfect lie I don't want your perfect life [x3] My eyes are wide open.. I see the enemy, the hypocrisy Your cover is fading Secrets pouring out, castles falling down There's nothing to hide behind I know who I am inside I'm perfectly broken.. You want a perfect, PERFECT LIFE Nothing wrong, nothing real inside All I see is an empty lie I don't want your PERFECT LIFE [x4] The perfect life!

I began listening to this band simply as a fan of alt metal. Although I tend to hold secular misgivings about religion and Christian-themed content, I have come to highly respect them for their ability to communicate uplifting themes in ways that everyone can find meaning in.

[@idontcare8267]

Red deserves more respect than it gets. The reasons are possibly not being dub step and no song has sex in it.

[@14reasons58]

Red is beautiful. It's unlike the poison in the mainstream.

[@Sav3TheWorld]

I agree. The real reason is probably because the band tells the truth and the people in charge don't want the public hearing That.

[@FiftyFlames]

Did anyone see and look up the "Accedia" thing in this video? Acedia is a state of carelessness about the world's condition. Well played, Red.

[@crazycheme6260]

Also, at the end of the "Release the Panic" video, they had Accedia show up saying that the communication had been restored.

I know I am. I have always believed that Satan was the one who broke me in ways I could never understand…but by my faith I know that Jesus Christ with me. 🙏✝️💪🏻 As Michael says here, “I’m perfectly broken.”

[@richdelaney9500]

I don't just view this video or listen to this phenomenal song as us Christians versus the world. I also listen to this song and think of all of the wolves in sheep's clothing from with inside of the churches....in other words, modern day Pharisees and Saduccees hiding behind the veil of a fake smile, but are inwardly ravening wolves.

[@BrianHawkinsJ]

They have polished their sound, but these guys are far more real than most people I meet. Their passion is as intense as it has ever been, and I think it is fantastic that they have the courage and resources to experiment. I expect them to be my favorite band for many more years. Not just because they write good music and put on a good show, but primarily because they are genuine.

[@fpsRussiaviewer]

Just discovered Shinedown and chevelle. . . I'm not very religious at all, but these guys are still awesome. All I can say is, THANK YOU KZbin SUGGESTIONS!

[@RSWrecked]

its hard to get a perfect life... when nothing in this world is fucking perfect... when you think you find the perfect love it allways ends up with the person you think was perfect finds another... it happend to me to many times and i don't know how much more i can... life isn't perfect but death isn't better.

[@78musicdude78]

I'm pretty sure the song is about not wanting what the world projects to us as the "perfect life." All the things the world tells us we need (drugs, money, etc,) pale in comparison to the truly satisfied lifestyle a true Christian lives. The things the world offers take and take and never give back, but living for Christ always proves much more satisfactory, in the depths of our souls, permanently. That's what I believe this song to be about.

[@icymike4205]

this song speaks to me because I just ended a 6 year long friendship. Retired 36 year old millionaire with family. He lied alot, always put me down for what I don't have and what he had. Perfect song for me.

[@MurderedInApril]

I love your guys songs they always have great messages to the songs I love them. I hope you guys don't ever quit making great music like this until you guys decide to stop playing. You guys are honestly one of the best Christian rock bands. God Bless guys!

[@dangerdash4393]

Most people seem to flip out when they find out they're christian. People can't just appreciate them for what they do, just have to base their opinion on what they follow.

[@5tephenmb]

People who dislike this album don’t even like music

[@FullMetalDrumms]

"Perfect Life", "Darkest Part", "Feed The Machine" and "Release The Panic"; Watch these four music videos by Red in this exact sequence and you will see that they're all interconnected with one another, creating a story. There may be more. I don't know. The music is superb; the first three videos are great. I personally do not like the last video for "Release The Panic", but all in all, a great song. Check them out!

[@DJCliftOfficial]

Since you've commented, it's now a sequence of 6: "Perfect Life," "Gone," "Darkest Part," "Feed the Machine," "Release the Panic," and "The Evening Hate." In that order. Red has some of the best music videos ever!

[@Sav3TheWorld]

Wow, thank you so much for this comment. I probably never would have learned about and seen such an amazing story and message if not for you, SoundsLikeLife. Thank you sir, you are a gentlemen in my eyes. You have my respect, and I will always try and be your ally, genuinely.

[@poche41]

how? in the music vídeo or in the lyrincs?

[@ResurgentRaven]

@@poche41 Definitely in the music video. There's most likely something hidden in the lyrics.

[@alexhackler8166]

It's about how the lives that look absolutely flawless in the standards of today's world are nothing but a shell without any substance. The line "I'm perfectly broken" describes how the christian faith acknowledges the deeply flawed people we are and that we are then made perfect through Christ.

[@TheZephyrsWind]

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

These comments..... Th word of God is still the word of God, Whether you read it in King James version, NLT, or LEB. What I am trying to say is that RED gave each song a meaning and that is the meaning we should get from it. But there is those out there who try to replace them. I am glad that RED is preaching to non-believers whether they want to believe it or not. When the word of God through RED reaches you it smacks you hard. Just keep listening to RED and you will hear the difference.

[@lierre7118]

This song reminds me of this game called " The Path ". In this game, you have two options : following the path to make sure that you arrive at your grandma's house ( the end of the path, representation of death ) without any troubles or leaving the path and going into the forest. Everything is very symbolical, and the game is far from being just that, but to resume it, following the path until its end is a representation of a life where nothing bad happens to you, while going into the forest means making experiences. In my opinion, it is very similar to this song.

Living your own life and being who you really are ("perfectly broken") is better then living the li(f)e that the world and other expect us to be.
