On the Other Side of Paradise
Journey to Bliss: Rediscovering Love, Peace, and Friendship Beyond the City Lights
Lyrics
I get away from city life
I seek escape from the urban lifestyle.
Leave behind trouble and strife
Leaving behind difficulties and conflicts.
Sweet Lorraine, she's my best friend, she is my wife
"Sweet Lorraine" is the narrator's beloved companion and spouse.
We fell in love all over again
Rediscovered love within their relationship.
On the other side of paradise
Rediscovered love is experienced in a place beyond paradise.
My man, Cool Breeze, he take it easy
"Cool Breeze" is portrayed as someone who lives a relaxed life.
He buy a castle where it's nice and breezy
He purchases a pleasant and comfortable residence.
He work hard for a long, long time
He has worked diligently for an extended period.
I think of Iree, got peace of mind satisfied with life
Thinking of "Iree" who appears content and fulfilled in life.
On the other side of paradise
Contentment found beyond paradise.
I met my brother, black as coffee bean
The narrator encounters a brother figure with a dark complexion.

He had the truest eyes I've ever seen
His eyes reflect sincerity and authenticity.
I knew right then he was my friend
The narrator senses an immediate connection and friendship.
On the other side of paradise
A bond formed in a place beyond paradise.
We fell in love under the stars above
Love blossoms under the celestial bodies.
The moon shining bright in paradise
Describing the romantic ambiance in paradise.
My brother said, please buy me Bami

I'm saving up for a ticket to Miami
Expresses his aspiration for a trip but acknowledges financial constraints.
Don't get me wrong, man, I love my home
Expressing love for his homeland despite financial challenges.
But money short, cost of living long
Struggles with financial scarcity and high living expenses.
And I dream of lights, I dream of your city lights
Yearning for the vibrancy and allure of city life.
On the other side of paradise
Dreaming of city lights in a place beyond paradise.
I get away from city life

Escaping from challenges and conflicts once more.
