Crazy for you
"Paradise" Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break it down
Heart attack
On the same path as a dart and tack.
Hold you cause I need you there
Take it cause it's only fair
Whatcha wanna go for
Why'd you'd wanna do this
You are only empty
Everything I do is empty without you
You're taking everything that seems so true
[Chorus]
So how do you feel now, my love
You're always in every one of us
And nobody will ever shake the way you do
Your digits are candy sin to you
I'm letting you go just like the birds
I feel like I've emptied all your words
From singles takes
To mountaintops
Liquor cakes
To lemon drops
It's all for you, it's all for you
[End of chorus]
[SHAKE! SHAKE!]
Shake it up
Shake it up
Go dip it in the water
And I hope you had enough
I see you're only instinct
You're only on the outside
Burning is my hobby
And dying is my pastime
You're recreated
So don't get motivated
Your changing is outdated
And you're just overrated
I'll keep you captivated
Just watch me
So truly underrated
Just touch me
[Chorus]
Let's go! Ha Ha Ha Ha
You know you are the best [best]
It's shaking inside your chest [chest, chest, chest]
Closure just outweighs the rest
So why [why]
Why is it I will bury a tree
When you left without hope
And imprisoning me
With everything that a teacher can see
Realize that hope that will bring you to me [to me, to me]
From trenches to glory [to glory]
Oh baby that is the story [story]
You know that this could get gory
Gory, it's only, you've got it, it's morning
(ah ah ah ah ah ah)
[Chorus] x2
The lyrics of Paradise's song "Crazy for You" describe a complicated relationship that feels both intense and empty without the other person. The first verse conveys a sense of urgency, with the singer describing a heart attack and the need to hold the other person close. Despite feeling like everything is empty without their lover, the chorus asks how they feel now that they are gone, suggesting that perhaps the relationship was ultimately not as fulfilling as it seemed in the heat of the moment. In the second verse, the singer tells their ex that they are "overrated" and that they will keep them "captivated" even as they let them go.
The song's chorus is both catchy and emotionally resonant, with the repetition of the phrase "how do you feel now, my love" highlighting the doubts and insecurities that come with a breakup. Throughout the song, there are references to different kinds of experiences--from "liquor cakes" to "mountaintops"--that suggest the intensity and variety of the feelings involved in this particular relationship. Ultimately, however, the song seems to be about closure and moving on, with the final lines emphasizing the possibility of hope and transformation.
