And then I understand. mm
Her eyes afire with one desire
Then a heavenly kiss
Could I resist?
And then she dims the light, mm
And then she holds me tight. mm
Her kiss, each fond caress
She takes me to paradise
And then he holds my hand, mm
And then I understand. mm
His eyes afire with one desire
Then a heavenly kiss
Could I resist?
And then he dims the light, mm
And then he holds me tight. mm
Her kiss, each fond caress
They lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise
The lyrics to David Finch's song Paradiso describe the experience of being swept away by passion and desire. The first stanza refers to a woman who takes the singer's hand, and, as he gazes into her eyes, he understands her desire for him. The strong emotional connection between them leads to a heavenly kiss, which he finds impossible to resist. In the second stanza, the gender pronouns are switched, and it is a man who now holds the singer's hand. The experience is the same, with the powerful intimacy between them leading to an ecstatic experience that takes the singer to paradise.
Overall, the song Paradiso captures the intensity and depth of romantic passion. The use of gender-neutral pronouns suggests that this experience is universal and can transcend gender or sexual identity. The passionate experience is conveyed through vivid imagery, such as "her eyes afire with one desire" and "each fond caress". The song's message seems to be that true love can take us to a transcendent space beyond our everyday reality.
