Imperfect Love

SEVENTEEN's 'Imperfect Love' is a touching exploration of love's imperfections and the beauty found within them. The song opens with imagery of a dark world illuminated by sunlight and stars, symbolizing the transformative power of love. Despite the many things that shine in the world, the lyrics emphasize that the person they love is the most precious of all. This sets the tone for a narrative that values emotional connection over perfection.

The chorus reveals a vulnerability, acknowledging that the singer may not always be the perfect match or provide the ideal conditions for their partner. Yet, they ask for acceptance and love despite these flaws. This sentiment is further deepened by the metaphor of an old book with endless stories hidden within its pages. It suggests that their love, though not perfect, is rich with potential and depth, waiting to be discovered and cherished over time.

As the song progresses, it delves into the idea of enduring love. Even when the singer feels worn out or useless, they promise to remain a lasting, fragrant presence until their love becomes complete. The repetition of the phrase '어쩌면 아직 완벽하지 않은 사랑일지도 모르지만' (which translates to 'It may still be an imperfect love') underscores the theme of embracing imperfection. The song concludes with a heartfelt declaration that every day is brighter and happier because of their loved one, despite the imperfections. This message resonates with the idea that true love is not about being flawless but about finding joy and meaning in the journey together.
