It would be nice
But no surprise
If we make it 'till our paradise
See through the lies
Stay wise
And you'll make it 'till your paradise
It would be nice
But no surprise
If we make it 'till our paradise
See through the lies
Stay wise
And you'll make it 'till your paradise
On the run, we're on the way way way way
Staying strong 'till it's okey key key key
Working every night and day
Night and day
Yeah, we wake anyway
Woke 'till it's safe
On the way, we started from below
But up up is how we go
Being a survivor is all I know
Soldja's now it's time to blow
Getting high like a Rasta man
But yeah, you don't know how fast we can
Go
Usain Bolt
You don't know
Master plan
It would be nice
But no surprise
If we make it 'till our paradise
See through the lies
Stay wise
And you'll make it 'till your paradise
Like Moses, we open the sea
My music is made so you see
And face reality
It would be nice
But no surprise
If we make it 'till our paradise
See through the lies
Stay wise
And you'll make it 'till your paradise
It would be nice
But no surprise
If we make it 'till our paradise
See through the lies




Stay wise
And you'll make it 'till your paradise

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Paradise" by Girls' Generation explore themes of materialism, privilege, and the search for inner happiness. The song begins by acknowledging the singer's own consumption and privilege, consuming "far too much" and "ignoring the will to touch" those who do not have enough to eat. Despite this, the singer still hopes to find a sense of peace and paradise within herself.


The chorus of the song suggests a radical willingness to let go of material goods that are preventing the singer from finding happiness, such as a brand new TV: "Beat me up and smash my brand new TV / To help me look for a little piece of paradise in me." The song acknowledges that the search for happiness and fulfillment can be confusing and frustrating, with lines like "I'm jumping, I'm freaking out / And I wonder what it's all about."


Overall, "Paradise" is a thoughtful reflection on the complexity of searching for inner happiness in a world that can be materialistic and unbalanced.


Line by Line Meaning

Consuming far too much
We are consuming too much without thinking about the consequences.


Ignoring the will to touch
We are turning a blind eye to those who are in need of our help.


The ones who don't have food at all
There are people who are starving and do not have any food to eat.


I'm breathing
Despite all of this, I am still alive and breathing.


I'm wondering how
I am questioning how we can be so disconnected from reality.


We watch Wheel of Fortune now
We are more focused on mindless entertainment rather than the important issues in our society.


I close my eyes and try to see
I am trying to visualize a better world, despite the current chaos and difficulties.


A piece of paradise in me
I am searching for inner peace and happiness within myself.


Beat me up
Please wake me up from this ignorant and complacent state.


And smash my brand new TV
Destroy the distractions that are preventing me from seeing the world for what it truly is.


To help me look for
Guide me towards finding what truly matters in life.


A little piece of paradise in me
Help me discover and cultivate the happiness and peace that already exists within me.

For the english people that not understand what is "Willyrex"

Willyrex is a famous spanish youtuber that plays Minecraft and other games.
In 2011, he made a video singing this song and now its a meme in the spanish community.

The video: https://youtu.be/nugrbr8dvvk
Isn't the official channel because the original video is in private, but its the same video with spanish pronunciation lyrics.

Edit for the spanish people:
Que no soy de ingles soy de españita coño

Edit 2:
Te queremos Willy ❤ Felicidades por María

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Lalalalalalalalalalala
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes
In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly
