A simple blur becomes something. A light becomes a shape.
A world becomes colorful."
This is the introductory line in Jessie J's Nobody's Perfect video from her album "Who You Are." The line doesn't appear to be so meaningful the first time you listen to it or read to it, however, as the statement goes, if you think about it closely, you'll realize there's something more to how majestically Jessie J stated it or how colorful it's written. Read it again so you'll "see" what I mean..
The song is about how sorry Jessie J is for what she's done against someone who loves her. On the song, it implies mostly on how she talks undesirably against the person she loves. This being driven by her strong egoistic emotion that she's forgotten to make some sense and turned out to be the reason of her loved person losing the trust for her.
First two verses of the song:
When I'm nervous, I have this thing that I talk too much
Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
It's like I need to tell someone, anyone who'll listen
And that's where I seem to fuck up
Yeah, I forget about the consequences
For a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment my mouth starts going
The words start flowing, oh
Although the song is really apologetic in itself, but I don't agree much on that line where she somehow used the human imperfection to excuse her from not being forgiven: “Don’t tell me you can’t forgive me ’cause nobody’s perfect,"
Yes, nobody's perfect, but I don't think it's right to tell that in front of a person whom you'd like to say sorry for. But anyway, Other than that, the song is perfectly beautiful for me.
I think the introductory part explains it all. True enough, we all know that there's more than just what the person sees. We all know that there's more than just what occurs. We all know that there's more than just what others do to us and for us. The truth of the matter is, we have the tendency to forget it. Needless to say, we have the tendency to take everything for granted, especially to our loved ones. That makes us human and that's what makes Jessie J and the people of the world say, "Nobody's Perfect."
Of course, the song is not just about the tendency of a person to badmouth a love one, I believe it simply includes everything that leads us having to regret in the end because we fail to look closely, we fail to understand what our eyes have picked for us more than we think,
and because of it, we fail to keep the trust from the one we love, and it really is so hard to win it back.
The song has an acoustic version and in case you might want to check it out, I have provided the
video below. It's up to you to decide which version is much better, but for me, I like both. :)
Gives me goosebumps... Almost makes me want to cry. <:'/
