Not in This Paradise
Seeking Truth Beyond the Rain: Not in This Paradise by Mark McCafferty
Lyrics
Sometimes you got the perfect day in another plain
Sometimes, there are perfect days in a different realm or dimension.
You get on the train, in the pouring rain
Even in challenging situations, like pouring rain, you embark on a journey.
The world seems the same, its a different game
The world may appear the same, but the rules or circumstances have changed.
You gotta know the name
You need to be aware of the identity or essence you are seeking.
Of the soul you seek, on another week
In another week, you must know the soul you are pursuing.
You gotta a winning streak, but you ain't unique
Despite having a winning streak, you are not entirely unique or exceptional.
And the time that flies, you gotta realise
As time passes, you must acknowledge that there is no deception in this paradise.
That there ain't no lies in this paradise
Reiterates that there are no lies in this paradise.
Not in this paradise
Emphasizes that there are no lies in this paradise.
Comes as no surprise, That the time you spent
It's not surprising that the time spent searching for stability involves frustration.
Looking for some rent, with some anger to vent
Seeking a place to live with emotions to release.
To feed your discontent at the president
Expressing discontent towards the president and the system.
And you try to lament on mistakes you made
Reflecting on past mistakes while attempting to lament.
As the lightning fades, on your new crusade but you ain't afraid
Despite facing challenges, there is no fear in pursuing a new mission.
To speak your mind, on things you find
Expressing opinions boldly on things you discover or believe.
Though your not so blind to be left behind
Even though not completely unaware, you won't be left behind.
To be-left behind
Repeats the idea of not being left behind.
And evening the sets and-the nighttime falls
As night falls, there is silence, and there are no calls or communication through these walls.
But there ain't no calls through these walls
Heartbeat and thoughts pause, recalling past experiences.
So your heartbeat stalls and your mind recalls
Recalling a past attempt to seize an opportunity for a new romantic relationship.
You ran through the Halls to find your chance
Searching for a chance or opportunity in the halls.
For another dance and make your stance on a new romance
Desiring another chance to dance and expressing your stance on a new romance.
That you cant let go, cause you gotta know in the afterglow
Unable to let go of a love interest, seeking confirmation of their feelings in the afterglow.
If he loves you so if he loves you so
Questioning if the person loves you in the aftermath of an experience.
