A humble beginning surrounded by the blues and gospel music of Louisiana, rooted and matured in the cultural richness and diversity of Hawaii, and eventually touring the East and West Coasts of America have infused Paula Fuga with a voice that is wet with soul from America’s Bible Belt, ripened by the various textures of paradise, and cultivated with sophistication through a sovereign journey.
On her independent record label, Pakipika Productions, Paula Fuga has managed to release her unique flavor of music around the world, earning an astounding and dedicated fan base, while collecting impressive critical acclaim, including a Na Hoku Hano Hano Award; Hawaii’s highest and most prestigious music honor, which lead to her collaboration with the Honolulu Symphony, opening for Three Dog Night.

Paula is fueled by the grit and glamour of love. She is as tortured by it as she is inspired. And this is why everyone can relate to her. She is complex, intelligent and real with the depth and passion to become an icon. In May, Paula released her self-produced, all original debut album, Lilikoi, a blend of tradition and evolution: soul and jazz–infused lyrics sprinkled with Hawaiian language, organic instruments like the nose flute and ‘ukulele, and a voice filled with so much soul, you’re guaranteed to become an instant fan.
Sweetness
Paula Fuga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A certain sweetness that I lack
Sensitive till the day of the final strike
Hatred coming on from greater heights
Won't you stay away
I'll pass away a different day
Won't you stay away
Looking down on a rogue this lonely frame
It's predictable the killing game
The sickness knows not what feels right
You gotta hold on to what feels right
Won't you stay away
I'll pass away a different day
Won't you stay away
Together it's impossible
Together it's impossible
I see blood on the robe
Cold hearts will still haunt you
In Paula Fuga's song, "Sweetness," she sings about a person who has a history of withholding their kindness and sweetness. The persona acknowledges that they lack this quality and recognizes that the other person is sensitive until the final strike of their breaking point, where their hatred for something or someone takes over. The persona begs the other person to stay away; they will pass away on a different day, and they should hold nothing against them. Looking down on the persona's lonely frame, it is predictable to see how the game of destruction happens. The sickness of hatred does not know what feels right, and when you find something that does feel right, you must hold onto it. Together, the persona believes, it is impossible to achieve anything. The song ends with a haunting image of blood on the robe, signifying that even if you seek revenge or harm others, it will always come back to haunt you.
Overall, "Sweetness" is a powerful song that highlights the importance of kindness and holding on to what feels right. It speaks to the destructive power of hatred and the consequences that come with it. It encourages listeners to choose love and compassion over anger and bitterness.
Line by Line Meaning
You have a history of holding back
You've been known to keep things to yourself
A certain sweetness that I lack
There's a part of you that's kind and caring that I don't possess
Sensitive till the day of the final strike
You're emotionally vulnerable, but can become defensive if pushed too far
Hatred coming on from greater heights
Anger can suddenly erupt in you when provoked excessively
Won't you stay away
Please don't come closer or be involved in my life
I'll pass away a different day
I'd rather deal with things separately and another time
Don't hold it against me...
Please don't blame me for wanting space
Looking down on a rogue this lonely frame
Feeling isolated and unworthy, looking down at oneself
It's predictable the killing game
Destruction and pain seem inevitable
The sickness knows not what feels right
One's mind can be clouded and confused about what's truly good for them
You gotta hold on to what feels right
It's important to cling to what brings genuine joy and meaning in life
Together it's impossible
We can't make it work as a unit
I see blood on the robe
The past is stained with memories that are difficult to forget
Cold hearts will still haunt you
Cruel and unforgiven acts can have a lasting impact on one's life

Sweetness
Every single time I close my eyes
It is your sweetness I visualize
Just when I think I've had enough
I find myself back in your charms
Your sweetness is my weakness
And my weakness is your sweetness
I feel so high,
high
Every Monday morning it is the worst
Instead of waking up and getting ready for work
I'd rather stay with you just a moment more
The way you make me feel I just can't ignore
I'd rather stay there with you yeah
And your sweetness it is my weakness
And my weakness is your sweetness
I feel so high
Every single time I close my eyes I see you
Every night I got to bed I dream of only you
And your sweetness I, yes your sweetness I
E hele ana au i ke kahi e i ko'u moe 'uhane la
Mahalo nui loa ia 'oe no keia mau pua onaona ahh
Yes your sweetness it is my weakness
And my weakness is your sweetness I
I feel so high,
so high,
so high
Yes your sweetness it is my weakness
And my weakness is your sweetness
I feel so high,
so high,
so high
