Paradigm
Bitterwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my eyes and my heart
Will always be better than yours
A simple tragedy of a girl misled
A weak minded boy with no thoughts of his own
Little child of mine that falls underneath my wings
A father no-fucking-where to be seen
Idiot
Idiot
Disgrace
Take the life out of me, strike the passion that I need
See me rot in this hole underneath your feet
I am your god
I am your god
I am your god
I am your god
I am your god
The lyrics of "Paradigm" by Bitterwood convey a sense of empowerment, anger, and disappointment. The first line of the song, "It's a shame that my feet are five steps ahead of you," suggests that the singer is more capable and successful than the person they are addressing. The following lines, "And my eyes and my heart/ Will always be better than yours," reinforce this sense of superiority. The singer seems to be lashing out at someone who has wronged them in some way and is attempting to reclaim their power and control.
The lyrics also touch on themes of family and fatherhood, with the line "Little child of mine that falls underneath my wings/A father no-fucking-where to be seen." This suggests that the singer may have experienced abandonment or neglect at the hands of their own father, making them more determined to assert themselves and be their own "god."
Overall, the lyrics of "Paradigm" paint a picture of a person who has overcome adversity and is now determined to stand tall and assert their own superiority. It's a song that speaks to anyone who has ever been wronged or underestimated, and who has fought to prove others wrong.
