Foreign Figures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I survive?
This test of time
On and on, we move along
Not taking sides, just asking why
Paradigm
I'm starting to see that
All my life
Day and night
I fight like a winner
Hold me tight
My heart is a killer
Paradigm
Finding my paradigm
Lately I feel desensitized
Clichés and rhymes have me contrived
Just beyond
The same old song
What's right seems wrong
Where I belong

I'm starting to see that
All my life
Been waiting for summer
Day and night
I fight like a winner
Hold me tight
My heart is a killer

I've been taking years in the making
Now been dying to heal
Let's sing it out
I've been aching to celebrate
Oh I'm just starting to feel

Finding my paradigm
The lyrics in Foreign Figures' song "Paradigm" express the desire for a sign or signal that the struggles of life will eventually come to an end. The singer questions whether they will survive through difficult times and the test of time itself. The phrase "paradigm" is used throughout the song and is used in different contexts. It first appears in the chorus where the singer realizes that they have been waiting for a change in their life, something that would shift their paradigm. The singer is tired of feeling desensitized and caught up in clichés, yet they can't seem to escape the same old song. They question their place and purpose in life, and the direction they should take. However, they maintain the persistence to fight and hold on to hope. The song ends on a repetitive note, where the singer is finding their own paradigm.
Overall, "Paradigm" is a song about searching for direction and hope in life. The singer recognizes that change is necessary and desires it deeply, yet they are struggling to find it. They are fighting to hold on to hope and continue living, despite feeling desensitized and caught up in the same things. The repetition of the word "paradigm" emphasizes this search for change and the desire to find one's own path in life.
