Someone Else
Paragon Cause Lyrics

In the song "Someone Else" by Paragon Cause, the lyrics address the concept of blindly following someone else's advice or opinion, without taking the time to evaluate it for oneself. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the negative consequences of listening to others without hesitation or critical thinking, ultimately resulting in one feeling lost and regretful. The line "never getting through to you enough" suggests frustration with the inability to effectively communicate or convince the person being listened to of the wrongness of their actions. The repetition of the phrase "time for hesitation, it's never gonna be enough" drives home the idea that one must slow down and reflect on the situation at hand in order to make the best decision for oneself, rather than blindly following the advice of others.

The verses of the song go deeper into the feeling of desperation and urgency to catch up, despite the risks involved. The line "This time in trouble now, and I'm never giving up" suggests a willingness to persevere through any challenge, even if it means putting oneself in danger. The last two lines of the song "This is not a place for you to run and hide" is the only part of the song where personal agency is asserted, suggesting that one must take responsibility for their own actions and not look to others to solve their problems.
