PARADOX
Diamond Construct Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's the difference of black and white?
Both just shades it depends on the light.
As without we fall, its infinite.

So do you long for a deep embrace? To seek its face.
Well I want to know that I just can't be the only one.
You've fallen for yourself.
You've fallen off the shelf and no one will be there
to catch you.

Over in circles we spin.
This takes longer to feel something. I'm so numb.
It's infinite
Over in circles we spin.
This takes longer to feel something. I'm so numb.
It's infinite

As we end well so will our love and all that's left will be lust.
Can you feel it? I can feel it. What tonight will bring.

So do you long for a deep embrace? To seek it's face.
You've set this pace in this race, left to be erased.

Get up. The world you know is about to wake up.
We don't need a reason. Get up. We don't need a reason.
Get up. The world you know is about to wake up.
We don't need a reason. Get up. We don't need a reason.

Get up. Get up. Get up from the world you know.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up from the undertow.

Get up. The world you know is about to wake up.
We don't need a reason. Get up. We don't need a reason.

As we end well so will our love and all that's left will be lust.
Can you feel it? I can feel it. What tonight will bring.
We are drifting and I'm thinking you're thinking the same.
So will we feel this for a lifetime or tonight only?

Over a lifetime we've forgotten how to connect with our soul.
The longing to feel. The longing to lust.
However long it's only just begun.




As we end well so will our love and all that's left will be lust.
Can you feel it? I can feel it. What tonight will bring.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Diamond Construct's song Paradox seem to be introspective, reflecting on the human experience and questioning the difference between black and white when they are just shades that depend on light. It speaks about how without connection with each other, we will fall and be lost in infinite nothingness. The song is an anthem for people who are longing for a deep embrace, a kind of connection that is hard to find in today's world. The lyrics also touch on issues like numbness, lust, and love, how they are intertwined, and how difficult it is to distinguish between them.


Throughout the song, it seems that the band is trying to call its listeners to action, urging them to get up and wake up from the world they know. They sing about how the world is about to wake up and how there is no need for a reason to get up from the undertow. It reminds the audience that all they need is a spark of motivation to break free from the chains that hold them down.


The song reflects on a very human experience, dealing with the issues of love, lust, and connection that we all experience β€” and seeks to remind us that although these feelings are complex and difficult to parse, we are not alone.
