Perfume
"yea we're cool but I'm not yours"
Behind The Lyrics
This song is about a suburban girl who’s tired of the same routine. She loves her simple life but feels there’s something more she wants out of life. She decides to move to the city and try something new. Her first weekend out she locks eyes with a man and it seems to be love at first sight. Her naturally sarcastic and hard to get personality is contagious and inviting. He loves what he can't have so this made her love feel so vibrant and addictive like a drug. Their honeymoon love flourishes but she still plays hard to get which makes him want to be with her even more. She feels more vibrant than golden hour and they both decide to just go with it and live life to the fullest. Perfume
This song is not influenced by this movie at all but I thought this movie paired well with the meaning behind "Perfume". If you haven't seen this movie, give it a watch and let me know if you see the resemblance lol.
Lyrics
She dress in all black
And got two moods
She wear it like a perfume
She head for the city
And got no clue
Her boys just old news
She’s got that shine on her face yea
Yea so sweet just like a perfume
She’s so high I need a taste yea
She’ll be the light to your silver spoon
We’ll make some stories we can never tell
Breaking hearts yea you put them right through hell
Close your eyes
And we can pretend
Yea she broke your heart again
Yea you drive me insane
When you move like you do oh
I like the way
You're so sarcastic when you say
Yea we’re cool but I’m not yours
You speak like a dance
I’m tongue tied over you
She floats just like a perfume
She plays hard to get
I’m so into you
Yea babe you look so cool
She’s got that soft touch embrace
Got that glow yea like LA
Bring the color out in malibu
Yea you know just how we do
We’ll make some stories we can never tell
Breaking hearts yea you put them right through hell
Close your eyes
And we can pretend
Yea she broke your heart again
Yea you drive me insane
When you move like you do oh
I like the way
You're so sarcastic when you say
Yea we’re cool but I’m not yours
Here are a few other variations I had for the album art. "Perfume" is used to describe the sweet and niceness of the girl in the story, so that is where the name came from. And that then inspired the album art. I wanted to get a nice photo of a perfume bottle with a vibrant sunset in the back to emphasize the girls presence.
These are the first demos of Perfume. Hope you enjoy!
