Izzy Bizu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Oh yeah, oh

It was more than just a dream to me
He was long gone
I know I'm always with the fairies
Man, it's just where I belong

And I say darling, I know
Nothing is as it seems
And darling, it's just
Sweet reality

And I know it's hard to find a piece of mind
You can't ride two horses at the same time
I'm heading north to find lost paradise
'Til then I'll meet you on the other side

Oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Oh yeah, oh

There is more than just this world to me
Yeah, my mind is long long gone
I'm gonna hitchhike my way outta here
I need to find my arizone

And I say darling, I know
Nothing is as it seems
Darling, let's go
Escape reality

And I know it's hard to find a piece of mind
You can't ride two horses at the same time
I'm heading north to find lost paradise
'Til then I'll meet you on the other side

Oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Oh yeah, oh

Let me tell you something 'bout me in the day
I was an optimist nothing would get in my way
And then my daddy was hanging on zip wire dreams
Oh, I begged him to wake but all he wanted was peace
And I don't blame him for a second he had four ribs broken
Half a tongue left and no kidney to show
But I pray everyday we can live off hope
Move an inch everyday till ya reach the door

Darling, I know
Nothing is as it seems
Darling, it's just
Sweet reality

And I know it's hard to find a piece of mind
You can't ride two horses at the same time
I'm heading north to find lost paradise
'Til then I'll meet you on the other side





'Til then I'll meet you on the other side

Overall Meaning

Lost Paradise by Izzy Bizu is a song that speaks to the struggles of the human mind and the need to navigate and find one's purpose in life. Starting with the chorus, the lyrics mention the longing for something greater than what exists; a place where the mind can escape to and exist in peace. The singer understands that life isn't always what it seems and that reality can be bitter. Hence, they often retreat to the world of fantasy and pleasing thoughts where they feel most comfortable. This is captured in the lyric: "I'm always with the fairies. Man, it's just where I belong."


The song goes further to explain how the singer is searching for their peace, hinted at by the line "I'm heading north to find lost paradise." They are also aware that it's impossible to balance the different parts of their lives, which is where the line, "You can't ride two horses at the same time," comes from. The second verse mentions the singer's desire to leave their current state of mind and escape to a place where they can finally find peace of mind. The line "I'm gonna hitchhike my way outta here" is a representation of this particular decision.


The song is a perfect blend of soulful pop and smooth vocals, with lyrics that offer solace to anyone who's looking for their place in the world. The catchy chorus which covers almost 50% of the song makes it easy to remember and sing along. Interestingly, Izzy Bizu wrote the song about her struggles with dyslexia and how the positive, peaceful thoughts in her mind helped her cope with the confusion and helplessness that often came with the condition.
