What is the meaning behind Daniel merriweathers song red?

Answer 1

I believe it is about the stress and strains you get during a relationship and the fact that it takes two to make things work, sometimes you can't change who you are but you have to adapt to your partner if things are to workout.

"I can't do this by myself" = takes two to make it a successful relationship.

I'm not sure about the Perfect being painted Red though.
