"Perfect Day" is the seventh track from Allie X's debut album, Waiting For The Prize, released under the name "Allie Hughes".
Background[]
The track leaked online along with the rest of the album in 2017, after an attendee found a CD bought from her show in 2006, in which the album was sold physically.
Composition[]
Perfect Day is a mostly piano-based ballad, although a string section is featured in the chorus. Lyrically, the song deals with themes such as sadness, drug use and escapism.
Lyrics[]
I wait for the perfect day
As I sit through the flight delay
Wishing for a big bouquet of flowers
I wait for the perfect day
So I don't have to stay
Slowly going insane again
So I'll take some amphetamines
And I'll learn some astrology, some astrology
Oh-oh
Mm, mm
Ah-ah-ah
Mm, mm
I'm swimming against the tide
To wash out my bad inside
And when I emerge at last
I'll never have to go back
To fight all the bad inside
I'll never be your bride
'Cause I can't see eye to eye with anyone
Anywhere
So I'll take some amphetamines
And I'll learn some astrology, some astrology
Oh-oh
Mm, mm
Ah-ah-ah
Mm, mm
My eyes are closing now
I'm going to find out how
To live in this vicious world as an unhealthy girl
I'll take some amphetamines
And I'll learn some astrology, some astrology
