Troubled Paradise

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah
You weren't my remedy
Love like a fever dream, yeah
Now we are enemies, I still got the memories
And I got to see your face
A feeling I can't erase
Let it all go to waste
Yeah, yeah
Reminisce on the days when you were mine
You and me in the rain watching lightning strike
And I still wanna let you go, oh
You left me here and I'm all alone, oh
Found heaven in your eyes
Blue-green just like the sky
Your love was my demise, troubled paradise
We locked eyes when I saw you for the first time
Oh my, baby, it was love at first sight
Oh why, why'd you have to let the love die?
I won't cry, but I'll love you 'till the end of time
Ah, then you threw it all in my face
Showed me that you've had me replaced
Don't you know you made a mistake, love?
Oh wow, why'd you have to lead me on?
Oh
It's a joke to you
I got feelings too
Oh, what will you do when no one loves you?
Took me, use me up
Was I sweet enough?
Please, tell me the truth
Did you love me too?
Sat there in the rain
Smiled through the pain
Made your problems mine
Forgave every lie
Watched you holding her
It's what I deserve
She told me to go
Now I'm all alone
It's a joke to you
I got feelings too
Oh, what will you do when no one loves you?
Took me, use me up
Was I sweet enough?
Please, tell me the truth
Did you love me too?
Sat there in the rain
Smiled through the pain
Made your problems mine
Forgave every lie
Watched you holding her
It's what I deserve
She told me to go
Now I'm all alone
Reminisce of the days when you were mine
(Reminisce of the days when you were mine)
You and me in the rain watching lightning strike
(Watching lightning strike)
And I still don't wanna let you go, oh
You left me here and I'm all alone, oh (now I'm all alone)
Found heaven in your eyes (in your eyes)
Blue-green just like the sky (oh just like the sky)
Your love was my demise, troubled paradise
In "Troubled Paradise," slayyyter sings about a past lover who she still can't let go of. She describes their relationship as a "troubled paradise," meaning that it was beautiful and romantic on the surface, but underneath, there were problems that couldn't be ignored. The lyrics suggest that the relationship ended badly, with the singer feeling used and replaced by her former partner. Despite all of this, she still can't forget about the good times they shared, and she reminisces about watching lightning strike in the rain with her lover. Even though she knows that the relationship was ultimately unhealthy, she still feels the pain of losing someone she cared about deeply.
The imagery used throughout the song emphasizes the conflicting emotions that the singer is experiencing. The reference to a "fever dream" suggests that the love she once felt was intense and all-consuming, but also fleeting and impermanent. The use of colors like blue and green to describe her lover's eyes creates a sense of peacefulness and tranquility, but the description of the relationship as a "troubled paradise" implies that this tranquility was always on the brink of collapse. Overall, "Troubled Paradise" is a poignant reflection on a past relationship that was both beautiful and painful.

You weren't my remedy
You didn't heal me
Love like a fever dream, yeah
Our love felt like an intense, unreal experience
Now we are enemies, I still got the memories
Even though we're hostile now, I still have memories of us
And I got to see your face
I had the pleasure of looking at your face
A feeling I can't erase
An emotion that I can't forget
Let it all go to waste
Let everything go to ruin
Reminisce on the days when you were mine
Think back on the days when we were together
You and me in the rain watching lightning strike
Both of us standing outside under the rain while lightning struck
And I still wanna let you go, oh
I still want to detach myself from you
You left me here and I'm all alone, oh
You abandoned me and I'm by myself now
Found heaven in your eyes
I felt like I found paradise when I looked into your eyes
Blue-green just like the sky
Your eyes were similar in color to the sky
Your love was my demise, troubled paradise
Even though our love was problematic, it led to my downfall
We locked eyes when I saw you for the first time
Our eyes met when I saw you initially
Oh my, baby, it was love at first sight
It felt like love as soon as I saw you
Oh why, why'd you have to let the love die?
Why did you have to destroy our love?
I won't cry, but I'll love you 'till the end of time
I won't shed tears for you, but I'll love you forever
Ah, then you threw it all in my face
Then you used my feelings to hurt me
Showed me that you've had me replaced
You demonstrated that you replaced me with someone else
Don't you know you made a mistake, love?
Are you aware that you made a mistake?
Oh wow, why'd you have to lead me on?
Why did you have to deceive me?
It's a joke to you
You find it funny
I got feelings too
I also have emotions
Oh, what will you do when no one loves you?
What will you do when nobody cares about you?
Took me, use me up
You took advantage of me
Was I sweet enough?
Was I good enough for you?
Please, tell me the truth
Please be honest with me
Did you love me too?
Did you also love me?
Sat there in the rain
I stayed outside in the rain
Smiled through the pain
I tried to mask my suffering
Made your problems mine
I took responsibility for your issues
Forgave every lie
I forgave all of your lies
Watched you holding her
I saw you with someone else
It's what I deserve
I deserve this pain
She told me to go
She instructed me to leave
Now I'm all alone
Now I'm by myself
