This Side of Paradise
Coyote Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never been in love, I've been alone
Feel like I've been living life asleep
Love so strong it makes me feel so weak
Are you lonely?
(Are you lonely?)
Our fingers dancing when they meet
(Are you lonely?)
I'll be the only dream you seek
So if you're lonely, no need to show me
If you're lonely come be lonely with me
Lonely
(Are you lonely?)
Passion is crashing as we speak
You seem so lonely
(Are you lonely?)
You're the ground my feet won't reach
So if you're lonely, darling you're glowing
If you're lonely come be lonely with me
Underneath the pale moonlight
Dreaming of a circus life
Carousels and Ferris heights
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
'Cause I'm lonely, I'm so lonely
If you hold me, I'll be your only
Are you lonely?
(Are you lonely?)
Our fingers dancing when they meet
You seem so lonely
(Are you lonely?)
I'll be the only dream you seek
So if you're lonely, no need to show me
If you're lonely, come be lonely with me
Are you lonely?
Passion is crashing as we speak
You seem so lonely
You're the ground my feet won't reach
So if you're lonely
Darling you're glowing
If you're lonely come be lonely with me
The lyrics of Coyote Theory's song This Side of Paradise invite us into the world of a person who has never experienced love before, but deeply desires it. The opening lines "Ask me why my heart's inside my throat, I've never been in love, I've been alone" set the tone for the entire song as it speaks of the juxtaposition between wanting to experience love while also being afraid of it. The lyrics that follow such as "Love so strong it makes me feel so weak" emphasizes the overwhelming feeling that comes with falling in love, a feeling that is both exciting and scary.
As the song progresses, we see the person extending an invitation to someone who might also be feeling the same way - lonely and in need of someone to share that loneliness with. The chorus repeats the question "Are you lonely?" as a way of connecting with the listener and inviting them to take the next step towards love. In the lines "I'll be yours if you'll be mine" we see the person letting go of their fears and expressing their willingness to take a risk and pursue a relationship.
In summary, "This Side of Paradise" is a song about longing for love, the fear of being vulnerable, and the healing power of human connection. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of wanting to be loved and understood, while also acknowledging the risks involved in opening oneself up to that kind of vulnerability.
