Paradigm
E&G Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come and feel the rain, come dance in the rain,
You think I smell strange, been used to sleeping like a stray,
So i don’t shy away, when the sky cries grey,
Never gave enough to fuck with the same shade,
Took in enough to forget all our yesterdays,
One time a goon you knew was insane,
One lie burns truth when they put me in the grave,
So when we split still this space we both saved,
To burst back, before the storm came,
So what you listening to, who fills up your playlist,
Do my rhymes feed your mind, or do they seem aimless?
Success comes past failure, days pass fast trynna make the dream last,
Every rhyme that slips back into sepia toned flashbacks
Can’t atone for these scarmarks, its dark,
But I see a streetlight, farther along this path

Nirayum sandhyakal pookkum,
Ee malarvaneelathayil,
Oru nertha poovithal pole
Nin orma thazhuki varum,
Ee sugandha vaaridhiyil,
Ee sugandha vaaridhiyil..

Kick it.

Now we stop at places where the heart starts to replace old parts,
New tune played on our harps,
These mistakes, just a missed speed break,
Leave that pace, take it slower like in dance,
There is much grace,
The waves of life throw us off pace,
Now I am prey to the pain of watching that life fade,
In my puppy dog eyes, now I’ve turned colourblind,
Can’t take in the colours bright,
World in black and white,
The noise in my ears became words that I write,
Although mankind respects time, a creation of their own minds,
I prefer the eternity of a heartbeat,
INcrease the heat when my heart seeks to speaks on beats that feed men as if they were mad beasts,
Who bleed for their greed, feel like they were freed,
Smoking weed on the daily, praying save me..

Nirayum sandhyakal pookkum,
Ee malarvaneelathayil,
Oru nertha poovithal pole
Nin orma thazhuki varum,




Ee sugandha vaaridhiyil,
Ee sugandha vaaridhiyil..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E&G's song "Paradigm" capture various themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the importance of embracing change. The first verse begins with an invitation to embrace the rain and dance in it, symbolizing a willingness to face challenges and uncomfortable situations head-on. The singer acknowledges that they may be perceived as different or strange, having experienced a turbulent past. However, they have grown accustomed to such circumstances and are not deterred by them. The line "Never gave enough to fuck with the same shade" implies that the singer refuses to engage in repetitive patterns or toxic relationships.


The lyrics also allude to the idea of personal transformation and growth. The mention of forgetting the past and leaving behind old behaviors and personas is a testament to the singer's desire for change. The line "One time a goon you knew was insane, One lie burns truth when they put me in the grave" suggests that the singer has faced significant challenges and betrayals in their life. Despite these experiences, they have managed to salvage a part of themselves, creating a space for renewal and rebirth when needed.


The second verse delves deeper into personal introspection and the exploration of identity. The singer questions the impact of their music on others, pondering whether it stimulates thought or seems aimless to the listener. They express a desire to succeed and make their dreams last, acknowledging that failure is an integral part of the journey. The line "Every rhyme that slips back into sepia toned flashbacks" evokes nostalgic memories and the role of music in eliciting emotions and triggering past experiences.


The lyrics then transition to a mixture of English and what seems to be Malayalam, a South Indian language. The Malayalam lines loosely translate to "In this fragrant rain, like a lonely flower petal, your fragrance will spread," adding a touch of poetic beauty and cultural diversity to the song.


Overall, "Paradigm" encourages embracing change, resilience in the face of adversity, and the pursuit of personal growth and self-discovery.

The errors we make are merely minor obstacles that slow us down momentarily.


Leave that pace, take it slower like in dance,

World in black and white,
The world appears dull and monotonous, devoid of vibrancy and excitement.


The noise in my ears became words that I write,
The chaos and clamor in my surroundings transform into meaningful lyrics that I express through writing.


Although mankind respects time, a creation of their own minds,
Despite humanity's reverence for time, it is ultimately a construct of our own perception and understanding.


I prefer the eternity of a heartbeat,
Personally, I find solace and profundity in the everlasting rhythm of a heartbeat, symbolizing the essence of life.


Increase the heat when my heart seeks to speak on beats that feed men as if they were mad beasts,
As my heart desires to express itself through rhythm and music, it ignites passion and intensity, providing sustenance to others as if they were hungry and insatiable creatures.


Who bleed for their greed, feel like they were freed,
Individuals who are consumed by their insatiable desires sacrifice their well-being and constantly crave more, mistakenly believing they are liberated in their pursuits.


Smoking weed on the daily, praying save me..
Engaging in drugs as a coping mechanism, hoping for salvation and deliverance from the struggles and challenges of life.


Nirayum sandhyakal pookkum, Ee malarvaneelathayil, Oru nertha poovithal pole Nin orma thazhuki varum, Ee sugandha vaaridhiyil, Ee sugandha vaaridhiyil..
In the fragrant downpour of this evening sky, like a morning flower blooming, your essence will be ingrained, submerged beneath the intoxicating waves, oh sweet rainwater, oh sweet rainwater..
