Paradox
Lucid Dream Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When will you get it straight?
So we can fill it up from your lungs
Your lungs not mine
Live when you die
This is the paradigm
So we can fill up without the lies
Make one from two
But nothing will separate us
I'll tear it apart
The rift will belong to you and I
These paradoxes constantly taunt me with deceit
I wanna push it inside and hide in nothing but relief
You never want to see the truth because it hurts you too
Be just me is something you can only do
I want to push it aside with nothing to hide and never see the truth
When they take us apart we'll see the end shine through and I will finally be you
Did you even try to say it to my face?
Let's wrong the rights in your mind
Bind to the blind
Live when you die
This is the paradigm
So we can fill up without the lies
Make one from two
I am and you
But nothing will separate us
I'll tear it apart
The rift will belong to you and I
These paradoxes constantly taunt me with deceit
I wanna push it inside and hide in nothing but relief
You never want to see the truth because it hurts you too
Be just me is something you can only do
I want to push it aside with nothing to hide and never see the truth
When they take us apart we'll see the end shine through and I will finally be you
Overdose me in the comatosing rhetoric of hypocrites
There is no coming and no going only impermanence still exists
Don't want to push it aside with nothing to hide and then you'll find my way back through
I'll tear it apart
I'll tear it apart and then I'll find my way through you
I despise all your lies
Only in your mind are you right
But blind through my eyes
As we confide inside this paradigm
Overdose me in the comatosing rhetoric of hypocrites
There is no coming and no going only impermanence still exists
The lyrics of "Paradox" by Lucid Dream Project convey intense emotions and a search for truth through paradoxes that constantly taunt the singer. The opening lines state that lies are constantly being told, and the singer is urging their audience to get it straight, so that they can collectively move forward and fill the space with honesty. The singer asserts that they are willing to live even after they die because it is the paradigm that is required to fill the space with truth. The lyrics are seemingly directed at someone who is unwilling to accept the truth, perhaps because it is too painful, and the singer is urging them to try to understand the situation from their perspective. However, the singer is clear that they will tear apart any rift that exists between them and the other person, so that they can move beyond the paradoxes and see the truth.
The chorus of the song reiterates the idea that the paradoxes taunt the singer with deceit, but they want to push aside the truth and hide in relief. They acknowledge that the other person is unable to see the truth because it hurts them too, and they urge them to try to be just like the singer is. In the second verse, the singer directly addresses the person they are talking to, asking if they even tried to say it to their face. They want to right the wrongs that exist in the other person's mind, and they assert that their confiding within the paradigm is necessary to reach a state of truth. The bridge of the song reinforces the idea that the comatosing rhetoric of hypocrites is overwhelming, and impermanence is all that remains. The singer concludes by saying they do not want to hide from the truth, and they will tear apart anything that comes between them and the truth they seek.
