Paradise Lyrics

You go searchin' for paradise
You sit back and close your eyes
We're burnin', yet so alive
And now you got your hands up
Hopin' you catch the high
Feels like the summertime
Chasin' the Northern Lights
Oh
Don't like watchin' your mama cry
You say you'd rather die
She says you're wastin' your life

Oh, well life don't stop the more we pray
All your wrongs from yesterday
Smokin' Himalayan haze
Won't wash all your sins away

Hate don't give
Love don't require all the good times
Or the dollars you spend
Give it up for nights like this
Don't give into overthinking
Pour a drink when it ends

Do you hear me through your speakers?
So much distance, space between us
Say you're dreamin', and I've been too
And no one knows what you been through
And I been thinkin' a little deeper
Contemplation, gettin' cleaner
See no leaders, need more teachers
I'm in shambles, I don't sleep much

Life don't stop the more we pray
All your wrongs from yesterday
Smokin' Himalayan haze
Won't wash all your sins away

Hate don't give
Love don't require all the good times
Or the dollars you spend
Give it up for nights like this
Don't give into overthinking
Pour a drink when it ends (overthink, no)

What is the Meaning of Paradise?

Exploring the complexities of life's struggles and the pursuit of happiness, this lyrical composition delves into the human condition. The artist vividly depicts a journey towards an elusive 'paradise', symbolizing peace and contentment. This quest is juxtaposed with the harsh realities of life - pain, guilt, and regret. The recurring reference to 'smokin' Himalayan haze' suggests attempts at escapism through substances, which are futile in truly cleansing one's past sins. The song emphasizes that love doesn't necessitate materialistic offerings but rather cherishing moments of joy ('nights like this'). It also warns against overthinking, advocating for living in the moment instead. Ultimately, it portrays a poignant narrative of grappling with personal demons while yearning for serenity. #LifeStruggles #PursuitOfHappiness
