about

"Perfect Crime is a song about being backstabbed by someone who turns people against you and tries to make you believe they did nothing wrong. The ‘Perfect Crime’ is a metaphor for getting away with toxic behaviour, gaslighting to ‘erase evidence’ from someone’s memory and replace it with a fallacy.

This song felt important for me to write to express a crappy situation I’ve been holding onto for a very long time. Other Terra songs touch on similar themes, but the lyrics haven’t been as transparent as I feel they are in this song. I wrote it for me but I know lots of people have dealt with similar situations, and to me this feels like a way to call out and shed awareness on this kind of toxic behaviour" - Cassie

lyrics

You chose your fate
A harboured vendetta
That’s not getting better
The salt in the wound
It’s too late
Everything sacred
you broke just to break it
Pulling the trigger on me and you

You’ve been lying straight to my face
Trying to erase the bad things you do
You’re burning evidence by gaslight

It’s a perfect crime, crime
A perfect crime, crime

They dug the grave
The moment you told them
The nails in the coffin
The words that you used
You had your say
And right in the moment
I buried us deeper
Than I ever had to
I buried you

It’s a perfect crime, crime
A perfect crime, crime

You’ve been lying straight to my face
Trying to erase the bad things you do
You’re burning evidence by gaslight
It’s a perfect
It’s a perfect

It’s a perfect crime, crime
A perfect crime, crime
It’s a perfect crime
It’s a perfect crime
It’s a perfect crime
It’s a perfect crime
