Paradigm
M-I-Cara Lyrics

I´m a bird
I am a unique individual

you are a bird
You are also a unique individual

together we are locked inside this Cage of pain
Together, we are trapped in a painful situation

We try to sing
We attempt to express ourselves

We try to fly
We try to be free

but the Cage traps our lives
But we remain trapped in our situation

I´m lost inside my dreams the bird that cannot fly inside this Cage I´m the Cage I have the key but I´m lost in pain!
I am uncertain of my own capability to escape this painful situation, despite having the power to do so

Inside our mind there´s an empty space there´s no certainty So we got afraid
Our minds can be a void that instills fear and uncertainty

We built a cage to safely live in there we put our dogmas inside calling them "Identity"
We create our own comfortable yet limiting worldview, and label it as our identity

So many Lies we face in our creation and it becomes our reality
We face numerous falsities and misconceptions in our perception of self, and begin to internalize them as genuine truths

We follow blindly the path they chose for us cause it´s more safer than fly with our own wings We trade the right to think and choose for comfortable Paradigms
We often choose the easier route of blindly following societal norms and ideologies, rather than discovering our own path and beliefs

"" In a place far away from reality a maid takes me into a beautiful garden where in despair I fall on my knees when she showed me a grave with your name (written on it)""
The artist has an imaginary experience of visiting a beautiful garden with someone, only to find their grave and become overwhelmed by grief

""Legendary forever"" I wanted to write (on it) but something tells me to not intervene Day after day I watched you dying inside of me (and the Mourning for your Absence has transformed in the End)
The singer mourns the loss of the person they visited in the garden, and realizes that they will always hold a special place in their heart

(Today)I am glad to have met you and lived at your side let my tears water your flowers cause inside my heart you finally rest in peace
The singer is grateful to have spent time with the departed person, and finds solace in the fact that they will always be remembered

The things we faced in our past have left us with scars! Playing inside our minds building our prejudgements Afraid of being hurted we just suffocate our feelings Afraid to change ourselves we proclaim: ""I´m always right""
Past experiences can leave lasting emotional wounds and biases that hinder our ability to truly connect with ourselves and others

And now is the time to break the paradigms a new world inside unlocked inside your mind Remove the veil... Decode the Cage to see our mistakes cause there´s no moon...(there´s) no more leaves , there´s no tree!
It is necessary to consciously challenge our limiting beliefs and assumptions to discover new opportunities for growth and freedom

I try to understand how the end became the beginning and how we sold our love to purchase separate cages
The artist dwells on the irony of how love can lead to separation and emotional entrapment

The Centaur... the Valkyrie... are riding in different directions their warm kingdom became a place of empty coldness
The singer compares themselves and someone else to mythical creatures who have grown apart and are now dwelling in emotional emptiness

I opened the Cage I faced my paradigms I can´t leave without you but I guess it´s too late...
The singer has broken free from their preconceptions and mental barriers, but realizes that it may be too late to repair a relationship that was negatively impacted by their beliefs

""This is the pain for not find answers... In an empty space I can hear your voice echoing in my mind... Frustration comes... because our names are together forever but not our hearts... Inside this Cage I blame myself for my Past Mistakes..."
The artist experiences regret for not finding answers to their past mistakes that led to a painful separation from someone who will always be connected to them
