In a Paradise
Unveiling Life's Illusions with 'In a Paradise'
Lyrics
Give me something to help me pass the time
Seeking something to occupy time.
A shallow effort to wade through what seems
An attempt to navigate through challenging situations.
Eternity, I don't mind
Comfort with the idea of enduring a long period.
Giving up if it means I can unwind
Willing to give up if it leads to relaxation.
To find out I am trapped inside
Realization of being stuck in an undesirable identity.
Who I shouldn't be, ah-ah-ah
Reflecting on the self that should be avoided.
I'll give you something if you return in kind
Offering something in return for similar treatment.
A subtle dose of nothing more than
A small amount of nothing beyond satisfaction.
Complacency, you may find
Finding contentment in a state of being.
I see an Eagle in a tailored suit
Observing a powerful figure (Eagle) in formal attire.
There's nothing quite like its point of view
Unique perspective offered by the Eagle.
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes
Comparing the Eagle's viewpoint to a mirror reflecting self.
A life, unlived, shadowed by disguise
An unfulfilled life hidden behind a facade.
We are all just waiting in a line
People collectively waiting in a queue.
Forming thoughts we think
Generating thoughts unusual to others.
Would never occur to them, ah-ah-ah
Recognition that these thoughts may not occur to everyone.
But we could never fully satisfy
Unable to fully satisfy the relentless desire for knowledge.
Our endless need to know
The perpetual need to understand the unthought of.
What doesn't occur to us, ah-ah-ah
Acknowledging the limitations in satisfying curiosity.
I see an Eagle in a tailored suit
Reiteration of the Eagle in formal wear.
There's nothing quite like its point of view
Reaffirming the distinct perspective of the Eagle.
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes
Reemphasizing the mirror-like quality of the Eagle's view.
A life, unlived, shadowed by dis'
Highlighting a life concealed by deception.
Eagle in a paradise
The Eagle as a symbol of power in an idealized place.
It comes, it goes, it already knows
The cyclical nature of the Eagle's presence and knowledge.
Your life, has it passed you by?
Reflection on whether one's life has passed unnoticed.
It came, it went, now you're in a hole
Acknowledging the transient nature of experiences.
