Paradise
Quest for Paradise: Fear, Longing, and Illusions
Lyrics
Why do you want to fly?
Questioning the desire to escape or transcend
Fly like a bird so high
Desire to fly metaphorically, seeking freedom
High from the poison
Refers to a toxic element in life
Poison that makes you numb
Describing the numbing effect of the poison
Cross my heart and hope to die
An oath emphasizing sincerity or commitment
We are searching for the paradise
Searching for an idealized state of happiness
Hold me closer, tell me a lie
Seeking emotional closeness but willing to accept deception
We're afraid to try
Fearful of taking risks or attempting something
Cross my heart and hope to die
Reiteration of commitment with a potential negative outcome
We are searching for the paradise
Continued search for an elusive ideal
Hold me closer, tell me a lie
Repetition of desire for emotional closeness despite potential lies
We are terrified
Expressing fear or anxiety
Let me go, let me go
Desire for freedom, potentially from a challenging situation
Let me go, let me go
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of the desire to let go
How do you know you're safe?
Questioning the certainty of safety
Safe from the darkest place
Feeling secure and protected from a dark place
Place that haunts your dreams
Referring to a haunting or troubling past
Dreams that keep you awake
Dreams that cause insomnia or emotional unrest
Cross my heart and hope to die
Reiteration of a serious commitment with potential consequences
We are searching for the paradise
Continued pursuit of an idealized state of happiness
Hold me closer, tell me a lie
Seeking emotional closeness despite potential deception
We're afraid to try
Fearful of attempting or taking risks
Cross my heart and hope to die
Reiteration of commitment with acknowledgment of fear
We are searching for the paradise
Persisting in the quest for an elusive ideal
Hold me closer, tell me a lie
Desiring emotional closeness while aware of potential lies
We are terrified
Expressing intense fear or anxiety
Let me go, let me go
Strong desire for liberation or release
Let me go, let me go
Repetition underscoring the urgency of letting go
Let me go, let me go
Intensifying the plea for freedom or release
Let me go, let me go
Repetition emphasizing the need to let go
Why do you wanna fly?
Reiteration of the earlier question about the desire to fly
Fly like a bird so high
Rekindling the metaphorical desire to fly like a bird
Cross my heart and hope to die
Reiteration of commitment with potential consequences
We are searching for the paradise
Continued pursuit of an idealized state of happiness
Hold me closer, tell me a lie
Seeking emotional closeness despite potential deception
We are terrified
Repetition of intense fear or anxiety
