Song Meaning of “Ideal Type” by Busker Busker
Ideal Type is about the search for the perfect person, despite the fact that perfection is an impossible expectation. The narrator is feeling isolated and lonely, and is dreaming of the perfect partner to fill the emptiness inside them. They feel like the perfect person they’re seeking is out of reach, asking “where is my ideal type?”.
The narrator is struggling to find true love and happiness, feeling like they’re lost in a world of imperfection and searching for something that may never exist. It’s almost like they want to escape reality, to escape the ‘strange tides of love’ and find someone who can spiritually connect with them on a much deeper level.
No matter how much they want it, perfection is something that only exists in their head. They become aware that the ideal type of person they’re searching for may never exist, and they will have to eventually settle for something less that perfect. Though it may not be what they had initially wanted, the hope is that they will finally be able to find something that gives them a sense of comfort in a sea of constant loneliness.
