Paradise
Eternal Loss: Unveiling the Depths of Suffering in 'Paradise'
Lyrics
Your paradise was never in the afterlife
Your concept of paradise was not situated in the afterlife.
Your paradise was mine
Your idea of paradise belonged to me.
These floral words that meet decay
These beautiful words eventually decay.
As open arms wither away
Warm embraces or opportunities fade and deteriorate.
Against the breeze I am weightless
Against challenges, I feel weightless and free.
I felt you breathing but I couldn’t stop you fading
I sensed your presence, but I couldn't prevent your gradual disappearance.
And now it haunts with a constant projection
Now, a haunting memory continuously replays.
This house of glass now casts no reflection
This fragile existence no longer reflects or represents anything.
But I’m losing track of the days that pass
Time seems to slip away unnoticed.
It comes at me from all directions
Challenges or difficulties approach from all sides.
We all suffer the same
We all experience pain and hardship.
We all suffer the pain
We all endure suffering.
Release me
Set me free from this situation.
I bathe in waves of absence
I am surrounded by a feeling of absence or emptiness.
In a sea of misery
Existing within a state of great unhappiness or distress.
Are we led to the grave
Are we guided or directed towards our own demise?
Are we destined to fade
Are we fated or destined to disappear or lose significance?
In sickness
In times of illness or difficulty.
Your paradise was mine
Your ideal paradise was also mine.
Lost in dreams of elysian
Lost in dreams of a blissful and perfect state.
With nothing left to alleviate
Without anything left to ease the pain or suffering.
Even in death, I feel your presence
Even in death, your influence or memory remains with me.
Now imprinted in the fibres of my being
Now ingrained deeply within who I am.
And now it haunts with a constant projection
Continual haunting through memories or thoughts.
In the stillness of a fading impression
In the quiet fading of a lasting impression.
Held in broken glass, nothing’s built to last
Clutching shattered remnants, nothing endures permanently.
It comes at me from all directions
Difficulties or challenges confront me from all angles.
I’m broken, feeling worthless, breathe
I feel fractured, useless, breathe.
Suffer, through this, absence, alone
Enduring, enduring this void, alone.
Save me
Rescue or help me.
