My Paradise
Harmony Beyond Differences
Lyrics
Don't need no angel
Rejecting the need for guidance or help from a celestial being.
On my shoulder
Not seeking support or guidance from a traditional source.
Got one right here sittin' on my knee
Having someone close and comforting nearby.
Stove top religion
Religious practices centered around domestic or everyday elements.
And all it's fixings won't save my soul
Traditional religious rituals or practices won't provide salvation.
Because my paradise and your paradise won't meet
Individual perceptions of paradise differ and won't align.
What if my paradise and your paradise could be?
Questioning the possibility of aligning personal paradises.
There must be something
Suggesting the influence of substances altering perception.
That I've been drinking
Intimating intoxication affecting one's perspective.
This California living's swallowed me
Feeling overwhelmed by the lifestyle in California.
Your Wall Street production
Wealth-driven societal norms won't offer spiritual salvation.
And all it's fixings won't save my soul
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the inadequacy of material wealth for spiritual fulfillment.
Because my paradise and your paradise won't meet
Reiteration that personal paradises are incompatible.
What if my paradise and your paradise could be?
Continuing the exploration of the potential convergence of differing paradises.
Mama said
Recalling advice from maternal figure.
Papa said
Recalling advice from paternal figure.
You don't have to do those things
Encouragement to avoid certain actions or behaviors.
What if my paradise and your paradise could be?
Reiteration of the contemplation about aligning personal paradises.
