Lyrics
You go searchin' for paradise
You are actively seeking a state of happiness or fulfillment.
You sit back and close your eyes
You take a moment to relax and escape from reality.
We're burnin', yet so alive
Despite challenges, life is intense and vibrant.
And now you got your hands up
You express joy or surrender, perhaps to music or a positive experience.
Hopin' you catch the high
Optimistically anticipating a euphoric experience.
Feels like the summertime
Conveys a carefree and enjoyable atmosphere reminiscent of summer.
Chasin' the Northern Lights
Pursuing something beautiful or extraordinary, like witnessing the Northern Lights.
Oh
An interjection expressing strong emotion, possibly delight.
Don't like watchin' your mama cry
Discomfort witnessing a loved one's pain, possibly a mother's tears.
You say you'd rather die
You express a preference for risking death over a perceived unfulfilling life.
She says you're wastin' your life
Someone (possibly a mother) criticizes your life choices.
Oh, well life don't stop the more we pray
Life continues despite prayers, suggesting challenges persist.
All your wrongs from yesterday
Past mistakes linger and may affect the present.
Smokin' Himalayan haze
Engaging in substance use, seeking a different state of mind.
Won't wash all your sins away
Substance use doesn't erase past wrongs or mistakes.
Hate don't give
Hate doesn't contribute positively to life.
Love don't require all the good times
Love doesn't demand only good times or financial investments.
Or the dollars you spend
Material wealth doesn't define the value of love.
Give it up for nights like this
Appreciating and celebrating moments like the present.
Don't give into overthinking
Discouraging overthinking, advocating for living in the moment.
Pour a drink when it ends
Suggesting the enjoyment of a drink at the conclusion of an experience.
Do you hear me through your speakers?
Asking if the message is reaching the listener effectively.
So much distance, space between us
Feeling emotional or physical distance between individuals.
Say you're dreamin', and I've been too
Imagining or dreaming, possibly sharing similar experiences.
And no one knows what you been through
Keeping personal struggles private, hiding behind a facade.
And I been thinkin' a little deeper
Reflecting deeply on personal matters.
Contemplation, gettin' cleaner
Seeking clarity and purification through contemplation.
See no leaders, need more teachers
Expressing a need for more guidance and education.
I'm in shambles, I don't sleep much
Struggling emotionally, experiencing sleep deprivation.
Life don't stop the more we pray
Life persists despite prayers, reinforcing ongoing challenges.
All your wrongs from yesterday
Past mistakes continue to affect the present.
Smokin' Himalayan haze
Repeating the theme of using substances to alter one's state of mind.
Won't wash all your sins away
Acknowledging that substances won't erase past wrongs.
Hate don't give
Hate doesn't contribute positively to life.
Love don't require all the good times
Love doesn't demand only good times or financial investments.
Or the dollars you spend
Material wealth doesn't define the value of love.
Give it up for nights like this
Appreciating and celebrating moments like the present.
Don't give into overthinking
Discouraging overthinking, advocating for living in the moment.
Pour a drink when it ends (overthink, no)
Suggesting the enjoyment of a drink at the conclusion of an experience.
