Otep - Perfectly Flawed Lyrics






If you do this
If you do this you'll never have a chance to try again.
If you do this you'll never have a chance to try.

It's the same sound
Same sting.
The same collapse
Of every thing.

It's the same slice,
Same blade,
The same lie,
Same ol' vein

My weight
My face
My height
My race
I'm a mistake.

My weight
My face
My height
My race
I'm such a disgrace.

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
Like cracks in the glass
And faded photographs

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
Let them condemn
Imperfections will keep you unique

Nothing left to lose, just try again
Nothing left to lose, just try again

Its the same doubt,
The same dream
It's the same sabotage
Cause I'm the enemy

It's the same night
Same day
It's the same parasite,
Feeding on the betrayed.

My weight
My face
My height
My race
I'm a mistake

My weight
My face
My height
My race
I'm such a disgrace

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
Like cracks in the glass
And faded photographs

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
A work in progress
Imperfections will keep you unique

A disguise of self-deception
Hides my secrets perfectly
I'm rejecting my reflection
'Cause I hate the way it judges me

Don't you do it
You're not even you yet
Don't you do it
You're not even you yet

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
Like cracks in the glass
And faded photographs

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
A work in progress
Imperfections will keep you unique

    Middle school sucked.

  18. n.... ....

    I wish every girl feeling imperfect could hear this, they're always trying to fit society's "beautiful", never realizing how pretty they are WITHOUT the makeup tutorials, pushups, and butt injections. They're perfect because they are themselves, not because they fit someone's definition of what perfect is...

    n.... ....

    Will u marry me? Lmfao

  19. M.... S....

  33. C.... P....

    Such a great song….!!!! Love Otep…!!!

  34. w.... ....

    first off,i like otep! with that being said,how can you talk about "your race"? like it's a mistake,you are white,you don't have any issues when it comes to your race,other than the simple fact it's a dominant one,who preys on other races! and you have white privilage,so what the fuck could you possibly be upset about,in terms of race? white people should not be the ones to talk about anything when it comes to their race! period! unless otep is a white supremist.....omg! i pray that's not the case!

    w.... ....

    I'll say that her program "all shapes and sizes" was to connect people of all backgrounds, looks, ethnicities, etc, so they can all hang out and not be judged by each other.
    Maybe she knows people who are insecure about their race. Maybe she's being artistic about "race" and she means people that are like her, in an alternative sense of the word. Like, abused people? A race of them. I don't know. 

    w.... ....

    You're a fucking moron.

    There is no white privilege. It's a fucking myth that people are being indoctrinated to believe.

    We all have the same economic issues. We are all treated the same. If anything, I could argue that Affirmative Action makes getting a job or getting into college harder for white people than it is for other races, due to a diversity quota needing to be met in order to get tax cuts.

    There's a growing malignance in society, in which POCs are being encouraged and even praised for building up this hype of a racism that isn't there. If anything, people throughout society have been encouraged to treat white people (especially white males) differently based on their race, and not in a positive manner.

    These identity politics are disgusting.

    w.... ....

    +Dominic Rose To help you out, the song is supposed to be related to by the listener. That's why it switches back and forth from a second to a first person view in various parts. The pre-chorus, in which the first person POV is being treated like shit because of how they look, is where the listener is supposed to insert themselves. She is the second person POV which goes on in the chorus, telling us, the first person POV, that we are perfectly flawed.

    w.... ....

    Jesus
    Some people just WANT to be offended in some way

  35. b.... s....

    such a inspiring song makes me feel proud of who i'am

  36. D.... S....

    Perfectly Flawed... something so true it could never be explained, but can always be embraced

    D.... S....

    monkeykid797 actually I can explain it. In like 1992ish our teacher asked us to explain ourselves to the class and introduce ourselves.

    And I watched kids get up and say popular or pretty or athletic or funny or smart or cool.... And none of those fit me. And when put on the spot to say a word to describe myself my response was I am perfectly flawed.

    And it became my catchphrase after that.

    Like 15 years later I asked a tattoo artist to make a couple of concept ideas for it to put on my body....

    And I do love hugs. :)

  37. B.... O....

    I love being perfectly flawed, its who i am.

    B.... O....

    :D great

  38. A.... W....

    I got "perfectly flawed" as my first tattoo on my chest a couple of days ago. My next couple of tattoos I get will also be inspired by this amazing woman <3

    A.... W....

    I feel so honored that youre wearing my catchphrase onyou

    A.... W....

    I got it tatted on my left hand after a long stay in a behavioral health unit. Never heard it prior to that.

    A.... W....

    I also have perfectly flawed as a tattoo, but I got mine before this song came out. Mines in reference to the beginning of the song my confession.

  39. S.... ....

    I cry everytime I hear this song...

  40. s.... w....

    Have no sad story to go with this song. I am merely a madman who is often abandoned and or betrayed. I like this song for the song not for a moment it is attached to.

    s.... w....

    "I like this song for the song not for a moment it is attached to."

    That´s how it should be. Idiots should stop with the "oh this reminds me of blah blah blah..." Nobody cares just enjoy the fuckin song.

  41. I.... ....

  63. S.... S....

    You are definitely beautiful. I felt the same way. I struggled through, made it out alive and I heard this song the first time and cried. I wished it came five years earlier. This is exactly what I needed. I hope teenagers who feel like we did hear this song. It changed my life.

  64. J.... D....

    marry me!

  65. j.... ....

    This woman (and Slipknot of course) is the reason why I have a sense of self-esteem...

  75. P.... ....

    there is no need to utter those cursed names here, and yes, you are right, but leave it be, we dont need them

  76. M.... S....

    Better, took her to an all friends sleepover, got everysingle person to give her a minute long hug.

  77. M.... S....

    Take him/her to a park with few or no people (preferably on a sunny day or a clear night), make them look at the clouds and look at the sky, look at the trees. Ask them, is this really the last time you want to see the world?
    I know what my answer. I decided that if everyday I could just see one more night sky and all the stars it holds, then I would live for one more day.

  78. M.... S....

    I AM PLAYING THIS SONG AS I AM TRYING TO CONVINCE MY FRIEND NOT TO COMMIT SUICIDE, I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON HER!

  79. i.... ....

    I love you. I love.

  80. M.... T....

    Perfect love it

  81. b.... s....

    amazing

  82. M.... C....

    lovely song.

  83. R.... ....

    I don't know you xAshlyy, but I like you(also, I think we might share a name in real life :p)

  84. T.... B....

    who are you? not being rude was just curious.

  85. T.... B....

    its the kind of song thatd be in a sad part or series finale xD i watch lots of crime shows like csi,supernatural stuff like true blood(theyve used a otep song before),shameless, freaks and geeks,dexter,buffy,united states of tara :)

  86. T.... B....

    This song makes me feel better.

  87. D.... S....

    What was Capitol thinking when they dropped Otep? Shes just beautiful in both hard rock and metal. Only if more female singers were like her. Capitol lost out on a big opportunity.

  88. H.... ....

    It's pretty amazing and i'd say a misstep that they didn't release this as a single with an official video.

  89. M.... ....

    Good work. I'm genuinely happy for you. :)

  90. S.... ....

    this song makes me think of that band garbage.

  91. T.... B....

    ive loved otep for years :D i feel like ive heard this song in a movie or on telly,anyone know?

  92. r.... ....

    I'm not imperfect! I'm PERFECTLY flawed :)

  93. F.... ....

    Well you can take this song and edit it with audacity to remove the lyrics so you can get An instrumental Version ;)

  94. G.... _....

    i'm not going to say my life story because i dont want to be sympathized with but i grew up hiding my emotions because of my family and i lost 75 pounds in the last 4 months. i solved all my problems without help but i still feel uncomfortable around people who express their emotions and its unfair but you really annoy me try to stand up on your own without constantly reaching out for someone to be your crutch

  95. P.... ....

    cool story
