Paravoid
KUWATA BAND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say now,
and then it's later on
Out all night,back at noon
Wrong or right,
it's all the same to you
'Cause left
and right you move me
High and low you make me
Trying hard to break me
All you do is think of you
Feeling fine,
and then you're paranoid
Green is blue, false is true
Now I know
you're in the paravoid
Then fast and slow you sheke it
Just to show you fake it
Don't know why I take it
Oh my heart is aching
Whoa whoa,
my baby's gonna break me soon;
Whoa whoa, my heart and soul
Whoa whoa,
the lady's gonna make your doom
Whoa whoa,
she's gonna take you,
make you paravoid
When I walk you want to run
When I talk,
you seem so far away
Don't you know I'm not your toy?
What's the use?
You're in the paravoid
'Cause nothing matters to you
Everything goes through you
Don't you take the time to
Look inside to find you?
Whoa whoa,
my baby's gonna break me soon;
Whoa whoa, my heart and soul
Whoa whoa,
the lady's gonna make your doom
Whoa whoa,
she's gonna take you,
make you paravoid
'Cause left
and right you move me
Up and down you take me
High and low you make me
Trying hard to break me
Whoa whoa,
my baby's gonna break me soon;
Whoa whoa, my heart and soul
Whoa whoa,
the lady's gonna make your doom
Whoa whoa,
she's gonna take you,
make you paravoid
Whoa whoa
my baby's gonna break me soon;
Whoa whoa, my heart and soul
Whoa whoa,
the lady's gonna make your doom
Whoa whoa,
The lyrics of KUWATA BAND's song PARAVOID talk about the struggles of a dysfunctional relationship. The songwriter is in a relationship with someone who is unpredictable and hard to understand. The singer tries to set boundaries by saying stop, but the other person ignores them and carries on with their behavior. The relationship is tumultuous, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and always on the edge of falling apart. The partner is self-centered, and nothing else matters to them except for their own needs. The chorus talks about the feeling of paranoia that the singer experiences while being in this relationship. It is frustrating for the songwriter as they feel trapped in a cycle of being taken for granted, being hurt, and then coming back for more.
The lyrics depict a relationship that is one-sided and emotionally draining. The song uses metaphors to describe the partner's behavior like "Green is blue, false is true, Now I know you're in the paravoid." The use of the word "paravoid" is interesting because there is no such word in the English language. However, the songwriter has coined it to describe the feeling of being paranoid in a certain situation. The chorus uses the phrase "Whoa whoa" repeatedly, which adds a sense of urgency to the lyrics. The tenses of the verbs used in the lyrics are interesting because they switch between the present and the future, indicating the uncertainty of the singer's relationship.

I say stop and you say go
We have different opinions and cannot agree
I say now, and then it's later on
I want things to happen immediately, but you procrastinate
Out all night, back at noon
You go out and party, then return home at a late time
Wrong or right, it's all the same to you
You don't care if your actions are right or wrong
'Cause left and right you move me
You control and manipulate my emotions in different directions
Up and down you take me
You bring me on an emotional rollercoaster
High and low you make me
You cause extreme fluctuations in my mood
Trying hard to break me
You intentionally try to harm me emotionally
All you do is think of you
You are selfish and only care about yourself
Feeling fine, and then you're paranoid
You have sudden shifts in your emotional state without explanation
Green is blue, false is true
You distort reality and confuse me
Now I know you're in the paravoid
I realize that you are caught in a cycle of paranoia
Then fast and slow you shake it
You change your behavior unpredictably
Just to show you fake it
You put on a facade and pretend to be someone you're not
Don't know why I take it
I don't understand why I continue to tolerate your behavior
Oh my heart is aching
Your behavior is causing me emotional pain
When I walk you want to run
You have a need to always be ahead of me
When I talk, you seem so far away
You are distant and uninterested in what I have to say
Don't you know I'm not your toy?
I am not an object for you to control and manipulate
What's the use? You're in the paravoid
There is no point in trying to reason or communicate with someone who is caught in a cycle of paranoia
'Cause nothing matters to you
You have a lack of concern for anything or anyone besides yourself
Everything goes through you
You try to control every situation and person around you
Don't you take the time to look inside to find you?
You don't take the time to reflect on your own behavior and try to improve yourself
Whoa whoa, my baby's gonna break me soon;
Your behavior is causing me so much emotional harm that I fear it will lead to a breakdown
Whoa whoa, my heart and soul
My entire being is being affected by your behavior
Whoa whoa, the lady's gonna make your doom
Your behavior is going to lead to a negative outcome for yourself
Whoa whoa, she's gonna take you, make you paravoid
Your behavior is going to lead you further into a cycle of paranoia
