Chasing Paradise: Unveiling the Profound Messages in Mexico City Blondes' 'Crimson'
Lyrics
Here we go slip into the shapelessness of what we know
Reflecting on entering the unknown and uncertain aspects of life.
All the while watch with satisfaction as it goes out of style
Observing the satisfaction derived from witnessing things becoming outdated or unpopular.
If you cry they tell you that it’s normal you should just give it time
Expressing societal expectation to cope with emotions over time.
But the very things they do to make you comfortable are the faults you find
Highlighting the irony that actions taken for comfort may become sources of dissatisfaction.
Throw it away wasn’t that what you wanted yesterday
Suggesting a desire to discard something, possibly from the past.
Some other day we’re gonna want what we don’t care to save
Anticipating a future where what is currently disregarded will become valuable.
Haven’t you heard and don’t you understand
Questioning awareness and understanding of available opportunities and happiness.
Paradise already in your hands
Asserting that paradise or contentment is already within reach.
Can’t run from it we’d better make it right
Emphasizing the need to address and correct problems instead of avoiding them.
Paradise paradise don’t come twice
Stressing the rarity of experiencing paradise, implying the importance of seizing the moment.
It’s a shame by the time we realize it’ll be too late
Regretting the delayed realization of significant matters.
Everything is close to meaning nothing and we’re all to blame
Expressing a concern that everything is losing meaning and everyone shares blame.
Throw it away wasn’t that what you wanted yesterday
Reiterating the theme of discarding things, questioning past desires.
Some other day we’re gonna want what we don’t care to save
Anticipating a future where neglected things will become desirable.
Haven’t you heard and don’t you understand
Prompting awareness and understanding of available happiness.
Paradise already in your hands
Reaffirming that paradise is already present, emphasizing its accessibility.
Can’t run from it we’d better make it right
Underlining the need to confront and rectify issues rather than avoiding them.
Paradise paradise don’t come twice
Repeating the idea that the opportunity for paradise is rare and should be seized.
Some of us are seeing all too clearly what is lost on the rest
Pointing out a disparity in awareness, where some see what others miss or ignore.
All our words are falling on their deaf ears as we fail the test
Describing a failure to communicate effectively, leading to a collective failure.
Haven’t you heard and don’t you understand
Reiterating the theme of available happiness and the need for understanding.
Paradise already in your hands
Restating that paradise is within reach, urging acknowledgment and appreciation.
Can’t run from it we’d better make it right
Emphasizing the necessity of addressing and resolving issues to attain paradise.
Paradise paradise don’t come twice
Repeating the idea that opportunities for paradise are rare and should not be missed.
