Paradise Dub
Binocular Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I walked across the land
A thousand faces came before me
And I followed it all the way
From the night until the morning

Oh, I feel you in my mind
And I feel you in my soul (don't say anything)
You can take it all away

But I'll never let you go
Never let you go

And if I tell you one thing
I want it to be true
And if I say I'm leaving
Everything you knew

You can stop believing
Start to wonder why
But you can't have it all
'til you leave it all behind
(just leave it all behind)

But I walked away from you
When I was young and just to get away
But in time you can get through
Everything must have an ending

So I walked a thousand miles
Through the sand and stormy weather
Just to get to where I am

Just to get, just to get back to you
Just to get back to you

As I walked across the land
I traversed through the vast land

A thousand faces came before me
I encountered countless people

And I followed it all the way
I pursued it continuously

From the night until the morning
From dusk till dawn, I kept following it

Oh, I feel you in my mind
My thoughts are consumed by you

And I feel you in my soul (don't say anything)
You are an integral part of my being

You can take it all away
Everything could be lost

But I'll never let you go
I'll keep holding on to you

Never let you go
I won't let you slip away

And if I tell you one thing
If there's one thing I say honestly

I want it to be true
I truly want it to be the truth
