Injected Paradise
Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How does it feel to get kicked
When you're down and out?
I said, "How does it feel to get pushed off the edge
And just fall fall to the ground?"

The more that you do, the less you get
Why can't see you you're going down?
You're on your knees, you're begging me please
Can't get away from the needle's chill
You're taking a ride in endless time
Injected paradise

Silence roll up like walls of noise
You're getting numb and deaf
Things are getting out of control
You're out of control

The more that you do, the less you get
The poison rushing through your dying veins
The more that you take, the more you loose
Time is taking its toll

You're on your knees, you're begging me please
Can't get away from the needle's chill
You're taking a ride in endless time
Injected paradise

The more that you do, the less you get
The poison rushing through your dying veins
The more that you take, the more you loose
Time is taking its toll

You're on your knees, you're begging me please
Can't get away from the needle's chill




You're taking a ride in endless time
Injected paradise

Overall Meaning

The song Injected Paradise by Pain speaks about addiction and its consequences. The lyrics are straightforward and honest, as they paint a picture of the reality of substance abuse, the consequences of the choices one makes, and how they inevitably affect one’s life. The song begins with a question, "How does it feel to get kicked when you're down and out?", showing how the singer has reached a point of desperation. He is then pushed off the edge, and falls to the ground, a sign that he has lost control over his life.


The chorus, "You're on your knees, you're begging me please, can't get away from the needle's chill, you're taking a ride in an endless time, injected paradise," tells of a person who is pleading to be rescued from their addiction but is unable to escape, despite the harm it causes them. The needle is a metaphor for the addiction that has taken over their life, and the "injected paradise" refers to the temporary high that drugs provide, which the singer has become addicted to.


The lyrics also paint a bleak picture of a person who is getting lost in their addiction. The more they do, the less they get, and they are gradually losing control of their life. The poison is rushing through their veins, and the more they take, the more they lose. Time is also taking its toll, and they are helpless in the grip of addiction.


Overall, the song Injected Paradise by Pain is a vivid representation of the reality of drug addiction. It speaks about the desperation, the lack of control over one's life, and the grim consequences that result from addiction.


Line by Line Meaning

How does it feel to get kicked
What does it feel like to be beaten when you're already defeated?


When you're down and out?
In a state of helplessness and destitution?


I said, "How does it feel to get pushed off the edge
I asked how it would feel to be forced to the brink of disaster


And just fall fall to the ground?"
And collapse, helplessly, to the earth?


The more that you do, the less you get
The more you try, the less you achieve


Why can't see you you're going down?
Why can't you see that you're heading towards your destruction?


You're on your knees, you're begging me please
You're groveling on the ground, pleading with me for mercy


Can't get away from the needle's chill
You are powerless to resist the coldness of the needle


You're taking a ride in endless time
You are trapped in a never-ending cycle of suffering


Injected paradise
This supposed paradise, created through drug use, is actually a hellish prison


Silence roll up like walls of noise
The lack of sound becomes oppressive and overwhelming


You're getting numb and deaf
You are becoming numb and losing your ability to hear


Things are getting out of control
The situation is spiraling out of hand


You're out of control
You have lost all semblance of control


The poison rushing through your dying veins
The substance you are taking is quickly killing you


The more that you take, the more you loose
The more you indulge in this behavior, the more you lose sight of who you really are


Time is taking its toll
The passage of time is wearing away at you


Can't get away from the needle's chill
You are unable to escape the coldness of the needle


You're taking a ride in endless time
You are stuck in a perpetual cycle of pain and suffering


Injected paradise
This drug-induced paradise is in fact an endless and unrelenting hell

Strange that it is one of the least popular Pain's songs, but imo it is one of the most powerful ones...

niel foster

If you ever used the needle you won't appreciate it as much

niel foster

JarnBjorn72

I have, do, and always will love this album!!

Ferdasyn

One of my fav pain songs. Took some years to grow in me, I was ignoring it in 2004 when I first listened to this album. And the lyrics are undoubtedly about drugs. It's not the only Pain song talking about drugs... see ''pull me under''

thyra03

Morticia Addams
