Greetings~

Currently in happyland. (When my brain is not focusing on the other things.) A new Mariah song leaked two nights ago. When I first heard the song last night, I was drawn to but slightly disappointed about the song. I was hoping, judging from the name which leaked last year, for a ballad-type song. However, what I heard was something filled with auto-tune and synths. Still, I held my judgement until I have read the lyrics. Couldn't find that until today. Now that I've read the lyrics, it makes me appreciate this song in another level. I don't think I'll ever lose faith in the song writing abilities of MC.

Imperfect
(Lyrics courtesy of lambsgohard.com)

I saw you yesterday
And I heard what you had to say
All those ugly ways you think about me
But I know it's okay
Gonna keep the smile on my face
Hate don't change the way I feel about
My inner being

'Cause I won't let them dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
And I know my exterior is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep livin' my life
Defame my name that I made and
Don't care what they say about me

Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
'Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you're tryin' to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect

As I look at the TV screen
In there and in magazines
So much insecurity surrounds me
Wish I could change the page
Got to stay with my self-esteem
Folks so superficial
Makes it hard to just survive

'Cause I won't let them dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
And I know my exterior is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep livin' my life
Defame my name that I made and
Don't care what they say about me

Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
'Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you're tryin' to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect

I may not walk like a supermodel
Or look as flawless as they do
I don't know where you get off judgin'
'Cause I'm impefect just like you
So I don't care about your status
No I swear up t0 here I've had it
Ain't try to win no beauty pageant
'Cause in my heart is all that matters

Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
'Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you're tryin' to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect

Imperfect
That's all I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
'Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect

When you're tryin' to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect
Imperfect, imperfect, imperfect, imperfect

I think these are my favourite lyrics out of MC since Fly Like a Bird. Funny thing, this song leaked at the same time as when I've been thinking some issues and this song (im)perfectly describes how I feel about them.
