Flawed (song)

"Flawed" is a song by the American alternative rock band Acceptance. It was released as the lead single from their second studio album, Colliding by Design, in 2017, after the band's reformation.

The song explores themes of self-acceptance, embracing imperfections, and finding strength in vulnerability. Lyrically, it focuses on the idea that acknowledging and accepting one's flaws is crucial for personal growth and genuine connection with others. The narrative encourages listeners to reject the pressure to conform to unrealistic standards and instead celebrate their unique qualities, even the ones they perceive as negative.

Musically, "Flawed" features Acceptance's signature blend of melodic pop-punk and alternative rock elements. It is characterized by its driving rhythm, soaring vocals, and anthemic chorus. The song's instrumentation typically includes prominent guitar riffs, a steady drumbeat, and keyboard textures.

The single's release marked a significant moment in Acceptance's career, as it was their first new music in over a decade. It was generally well-received by fans and critics, who praised its catchy melody, uplifting message, and the band's renewed energy. "Flawed" has since become a popular song in Acceptance's discography and is frequently performed at their live concerts.
