Paradise
Embracing Life's Shades: Brown Sugar Cinema's 'Paradise' Revealed
Lyrics
So she's working on her happiness
Working on finding her own happiness.
And me, feeling right
Feeling content and satisfied.
For me, everything is black or white
Seeing things in a simplistic manner, either good or bad.
Doesn't matter much to me
Indifferent to the complexities, not bothered much.
Sometimes I'd like to run away
Expressing a desire to escape from the current situation.
Cause I'm tired of looking down most everyday
Feeling fatigued from constantly looking down or feeling low.
Oh baby, she's so mean to me
Describing someone as being unkind or harsh towards the speaker.
Could be tomorrow, any day
Uncertain about when a change might come, emphasizing the unpredictability.
Just leave me alone (You know I'm tryin')
Requesting to be left alone, expressing the need for solitude.
Can't you leave me alone (I gotta get to you)
Reiterating the desire to be left alone, emphasizing urgency.
Please, leave me alone (I'd be happy)
Pleading for solitude as it brings happiness.
God, leave me alone (Happy)
An appeal to God for peace and solitude.
I've got nothing real to tell you
Admitting a lack of genuine information or emotions to share.
I'm happy now, in my own way
Currently content and happy in a personal and unique way.
It's time, the game is over
Indicating the end of a metaphorical game or struggle.
It's all right, I'm okay
Assuring that everything is fine, expressing personal well-being.
Yeah, I'm all right (Everything is fine)
Reaffirming personal well-being and contentment.
I'm okay
Continuing to assert personal okayness.
Yeah, I'm all right (Everything is fine)
Reiterating the speaker's assurance of well-being.
I'm okay
Again emphasizing personal okayness and contentment.
Yeah, I'm all right
Asserting continued well-being and happiness.
Happy
Summarizing a state of happiness.
