South Of Paradise
Sedan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The shoe didn't fit on Monday
You're goin' nowhere fast
But who even asked?
Ya found yourself on an island
They said was wet but it's dry man
When the music don't last
But who even asked?
South Of Paradise
Take a train on Friday
You know it could be Thursday
Who even knows?
Whatever way the wind blows
Ya said a bunch of nothin'
While the drummer kept on drumming
And it just makes us laugh
But who even asked?
South Of Paradise
It's 3AM
South of what you meant
Sweet as sin
Sweet as saccharine
Ya threw a fit on Sunday
The shoe didn't fit on Monday
You're going nowhere fast
But who even asked?
Take a train on Friday
You know it could be Thursday
Who even knows?
Whatever way the wind blows
South Of Paradise
It's 3AM
South of what you meant
Sweet as saccharine
Sweet as sin
The lyrics of Sedan's song "South Of Paradise" seem to be discussing the frustrations and lack of fulfillment in life. The singer refers to someone who threw a fit on Sunday and whose shoe didn't fit on Monday, indicating a continuous struggle and dissatisfaction in their daily life. The line "You're going nowhere fast, but who even asked?" suggests a sense of apathy or indifference towards their situation from both the singer and others around them.
The lyrics also mention finding oneself on an island that was supposed to be wet but turned out to be dry. This could be a metaphorical representation of feeling isolated and misled, as what they expected and hoped for didn't pan out the way they anticipated. The mention of "when the music don't last" could be a metaphorical reference to passion or joy in life fading away.
The repetition of the phrase "South Of Paradise" throughout the song serves as a recurring motif, highlighting the notion of being far from contentment or fulfillment. The line "It's 3AM, south of what you meant" suggests a sense of disconnection or confusion, as if the person's intentions or desires are not aligning with their current reality. The use of the phrases "sweet as sin" and "sweet as saccharine" adds a touch of irony, implying that what may seem desirable or pleasurable on the surface is not necessarily fulfilling or true happiness.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction, frustration, and a feeling of being stuck in a cycle of unfulfilled expectations and routine.
