Different Paradise
A Journey Through Different Paradises
Lyrics
How will I know, will you answer me now
Expressing uncertainty about receiving a response and seeking clarity.
I'm stood here ringing your phone out in the dark
Standing in the dark, calling someone, possibly feeling abandoned or ignored.
Now that I know you wore my heart out
Realizing that the person has hurt or exhausted the speaker emotionally.
Like that dress you used to own
Drawing a parallel between the weariness of the heart and the loss of a dress.
Back at the start of this
Reflecting on the past, specifically the beginning of a relationship.
She said I really should be going now
Someone expressing the need to leave.
Called a taxi told him I'll be right down
Arranging transportation to depart, possibly indicating a separation.
I know you found the darkness in the light
Acknowledging the discovery of flaws or challenges in a seemingly positive situation.
A different paradise
Describing an alternative, possibly ideal, reality or state of being.
I'll take your words and make them rhyme for you
Committing to transforming spoken words into poetic form for the other person.
I know the grass is greener where you lie
Acknowledging the perception that things are better elsewhere.
And everything is fine
Asserting that everything appears fine in the current situation.
Cause its a different paradise for you
Reiterating the existence of a distinct paradise for the other person.
How will you know if I'm on your shoulder
Pondering how the speaker can be present in the other person's thoughts.
Isn't it funny how old we get so fast but that ain't right for you
Reflecting on the rapid passage of time and questioning its appropriateness.
Hell I struggle with it every day
Expressing ongoing struggle, possibly with personal growth or challenges.
I think recovery is dawning its day for me
Suggesting a sense of hope and the beginning of recovery.
But now you moved yourself to a better place
Acknowledging a positive change in the other person's circumstances.
I won't hold you down
Releasing any desire to restrain or control the other person.
She said I really should be going now
Repeating the decision to leave, perhaps emphasizing the finality of the departure.
Called a taxi told him ill be right down
Arranging transportation again, possibly signaling a second departure.
I know you found the darkness in the light
Reaffirming the discovery of challenges in a positive situation.
A different paradise
Reiterating the existence of a different paradise for the other person.
I'll take your words and make them rhyme for you
Committing to transforming the other person's words into poetic form.
I know the grass is greener where you lie
Acknowledging the perception that things are better elsewhere.
And everything is fine
Asserting that everything appears fine in the current situation.
Cause its a different paradise for you
Reiterating the existence of a distinct paradise for the other person.
Watched you as you drove away
Observing the other person driving away, possibly departing for good.
Knew that you were better than this place
Acknowledging the other person's superiority and unsuitability for the current situation.
Didn't wanna make you late
Expressing a desire not to cause the other person to be late.
Watched you as you drove away
Repeating the observation of the other person leaving, possibly emphasizing the departure.
Knew that you were better than this place
Acknowledging the other person's superiority and unsuitability for the current situation.
Didn't wanna make you late so I can say
Reiterating the desire not to cause the other person to be late and expressing something left unsaid.
I know you found the
Interrupted line, possibly leading to a continuation or revelation.
Darkness in the light
Reiterating the discovery of challenges in a positive situation.
A different paradise
Reiterating the existence of a different paradise for the other person.
I'll take your words and make them rhyme for you
Committing to transforming the other person's words into poetic form.
I know the grass is greener where you lie
Acknowledging the perception that things are better elsewhere.
And everything is fine
Asserting that everything appears fine in the current situation.
Cause its a different paradise for you
Reiterating the existence of a distinct paradise for the other person.
