Paradox
Crestillion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The clocks hands, moving, past my eyes
It just goes on, it just goes on
We need to go back
I wont let go
Will there be time
To save you
I do not wish to see you fall
Let me hear
Our fraction of time is near
Lost inside
We're reaching our last seconds
Is it too late?
Rewind redo
I'm trapped in a paradox
It's a brand new world
The people look the same
But their minds are hollow
Lost in dreams
Painless sorrow
No return
It's stuck in memories
Seasons don't exist
I can't stop hiding
I need to find out
The lyrics of Crestillion's song Paradox describe a sense of confusion and urgency, as the singer tries to make sense of time and its passing. The opening lines suggest that time seems to be moving too quickly, with the clocks ticking past their eyes relentlessly. The singer then turns to the idea of going back in time, of being able to rewind and redo things, to save someone they care about from falling. There is a sense of worry and fear running through these lines, as if there is very little time left to fix whatever needs fixing.
As the song progresses, the sense of urgency grows stronger. The singer talks about a "fraction of time" being near, suggesting that something momentous is about to happen. There is a feeling of being lost and trapped, of time slipping away and the singer being unable to do anything about it. The paradox in question seems to be the idea that time is both fleeting and yet unyielding, that it can be rewound and yet also lost forever.
The second half of the song takes a darker turn, as the singer describes a world that is both familiar and alien. The people look the same, but their minds are hollow, lost in dreams and painless sorrow. There is a sense that something has changed, that time has taken on a different quality, and that the singer is struggling to adapt. The closing lines suggest a desire to understand and to uncover the truth, to find out what has happened and to stop hiding.
