PARADOX
Electro-Light Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We fight the enemies of time
Despite the endless voids of black

Try to find a way
Avoid the empire's reign of cosmic rule
Don't be the fool, just hold fast in the fray
The bridge is just ahead
Through space and time we fled
We can't go back when they attack
Abandon ship they say

Wading through a paradox an astral river flows
A place that bends existence to its knees
Don't turn around and wait to find a home of dried up seas
The future holds a place for us my dear

Break through the barricade of war
Collapse onto a dying star

Try to find a way
Return the fire and stray toward our goal
And break the mold, just come and save the day
The bridge is just ahead
Through space and time we fled
We can't go back when they attack

Wading through a paradox an astral river flows
A place that bends existence to its knees




Don't turn around and wait to find a home of dried up seas
The future holds a place for us my dear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Electro-Light & Itro's song Paradox speak of a battle against time and cosmic rule, with the singer calling for perseverance and courage in order to keep moving forward towards an uncertain but hopeful future. The song's title itself suggests a contradiction or a puzzle - a paradox - that the characters must navigate, as they find themselves traversing a strange and dangerous astral river that challenges their very existence. The bridge that lies ahead is both a metaphorical and a literal one, representing a goal that the characters must reach at any cost, even if it means abandoning ship when under attack.


The song's themes touch upon the larger struggle that all humans face - that of facing obstacles and challenges, both internal and external, and figuring out a path forward that is fulfilling and meaningful. The lyrics' sense of urgency and stakes are heightened by the song's driving melody and pulsing beat, creating a sense of momentum and excitement that propels the narrative forward. Ultimately, the song's message is one of hope and perseverance - that no matter how difficult the journey may be, there is always a place in the future where we can find peace and fulfillment, if we only keep moving forward with determination and faith.
