Paradise
Rex Orange County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Um...
Um, let's see...
Don't miss me when I'm dead
Live life and don't think twice
Don't miss me when I'm gone
I'll see you soon in paradise
Take my last few pennies
And buy yourself something nice
Because, before you know it
We'll be together again
Forever in paradise
Forever in paradise
Forever in paradise
Forever in paradise
Can't feel my arms or my legs
Maybe I'm already dead
I can't hear my voice, thank God
Cause I hate the sound of my own voice
I would like to be more sociable than I am
But there is something in people where they want - or they need solitude for a while
I do my best to keep it with my people
Mh, but what the fuck does that even mean?
Worried 'bout your life
Now another thought of death
How you're gonna figure out
How you're gonna do your best
See the reason why they did not understand you in school
Same reason why you tell yourself you're not cool
Trust your ideas
And only drink beers, if you really want to
And not just cause they're free
And not just cause your friends have had three
On to the fourth
But you still can't see why they would want to drink this
Cold
Branded
Bottled
Fizzing
Piss...
But take it from the voice inside your head
You don't have to drink at all
Fuck what they said about a good night
Fuck a good night
Who needs an academic career when you're the one with all the ideas?
Can't feel my arms or my legs
Maybe I'm already dead
Can't hear my voice, thank God
Cause I hate the sound of my own voice

I'll probably see
you all in hell
The lyrics of "Paradise" by Rex Orange County explore themes of death, introspection, and the search for happiness. The song opens with the line, "Don't miss me when I'm dead," indicating that the singer is contemplating their own mortality. They urge the listener to live life to the fullest and not to dwell on their absence once they have passed, promising to reunite with them in paradise. The second verse takes a more introspective tone, with the singer expressing a desire to be more sociable but acknowledging the need for solitude. They encourage the listener to trust their ideas and to resist peer pressure when it comes to drinking and socializing.
The chorus, "Can't feel my arms or my legs, maybe I'm already dead," repeats twice, adding to the feeling of detachment and introspection. The bridge of the song introduces a sense of uncertainty, with the singer wondering if they are wrong about their thoughts on life and death. However, they ultimately resolve that they will probably see everyone in hell.
Overall, "Paradise" is a contemplative and introspective song that encourages listeners to live their lives to the fullest and to trust their own ideas and instincts.

Can't feel my arms or my legs
I feel numb and disconnected
Maybe I'm already dead
I'm struggling to connect with reality
I can't hear my voice, thank God
I'm relieved to not hear myself
Cause I hate the sound of my own voice
I have an aversion to my own voice
I would like to be more sociable than I am
I wish to be more outgoing and connected with others
But there is something in people where they want - or they need solitude for a while
Sometimes people require alone time or space to recharge
I do my best to keep it with my people
I try to stay connected with those important to me
Mh, but what the fuck does that even mean?
I'm unsure of the meaning behind staying connected
Worried 'bout your life
Concerned about one's own existence
Now another thought of death
Contemplation of one's own mortality
How you're gonna figure out

See the reason why they did not understand you in school
Reflecting on past experiences of feeling misunderstood
Same reason why you tell yourself you're not cool
Internal self-doubt based on past experiences
Trust your ideas
Believe in your thoughts and opinions
And only drink beers, if you really want to
Make your own choices regardless of peer pressure
And not just cause they're free
Don't just do something because it's offered to you at no cost
And not just cause your friends have had three
Don't feel obligated to drink because others are doing so
On to the fourth
Continuing to drink more after three previous beers
But you still can't see why they would want to drink this

Referring to the beer as repulsive
But take it from the voice inside your head
Listen to your own intuition
You don't have to drink at all
It's not necessary to consume alcohol
Fuck what they said about a good night
Don't be influenced by others' opinions of what makes a good time
Fuck a good night
Disregard the idea of a good time altogether
Who needs an academic career when you're the one with all the ideas?

Paraíso
Uh, eu me sinto feliz na vida
Hmm
Hmm, vamos ver
Não sinta minha falta quando eu estiver morto
Viva a vida e não pense duas vezes
Não sinta minha falta quando eu partir
Vejo você em breve no paraíso
Quando eu deixá-la
Pegue meus últimos centavos
E compre algo legal para você
Porque, antes que você perceba
Nós estaremos juntos novamente
Para sempre no paraíso
Para sempre no paraíso
Para sempre no paraíso
Para sempre no paraíso
Não consigo sentir meus braços ou minhas pernas
Talvez eu já esteja morto
Não consigo ouvir minha voz, graças a Deus
Porque eu odeio o som da minha própria voz
Eu gostaria de ser mais sociável do que eu sou
Mas há algo nas pessoas onde elas querem
Ou elas precisam da solitude por um tempo
Eu faço o meu melhor para manter isso com meu povo
Mh, mas o que porra isso significa mesmo?
Preocupado com sua vida
Agora, outro pensamento em morte
Como você vai dar um jeito
Como você vai fazer o seu melhor
Veja a razão pela qual eles não te entenderam na escola
Mesmo razão por que você se diz a si mesmo que não é legal
Confie nas suas ideias
E só beba cervejas, se você realmente quiser
E não apenas porque elas são grátis
E não apenas porque seus amigos tiveram três
E seguindo para a quarta
Mas você ainda não consegue ver por que eles querem beber isse
Frio
De marca
Engarrafado
Espumante
Mijo
Mas escute a voz em sua cabeça
Você não precisa beber nada
Foda-se o que eles disseram sobre uma boa noite
Foda-se uma boa noite
Quem precisa de uma carreira acadêmica
Quando você é o único com todas as ideias?
Não consigo sentir meus braços ou minhas pernas
Talvez eu já esteja morto
Não consigo ouvir minha voz, graças a Deus
Porque eu odeio o som da minha própria voz
Errado
Quem pode dizer
Provavelmente vou ver todos vocês no inferno
Posso estar errado
Quem pode dizer
Provavelmente vou ver todos vocês no inferno, sim
Posso estar errado
Posso estar errado
Quem pode dizer
Provavelmente vou ver todos vocês no inferno
Posso estar errado
Quem pode dizer
Provavelmente vou ver todos vocês no inferno
Provavelmente vou ver todos vocês no inferno
Provavelmente vou ver todos vocês no inferno
Provavelmente vou ver

I didn’t realize that this had a lot of influence on Loving Is Easy. Listen to this and then listen to Loving is easy. The piano chords and style are kind of similar
