Paradox
Survive Said The Prophet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun, it burns the night
The moon, it breaks the sky

Defining lines between the victims
And what will soon become the prey
I've giving up on counting blessings
The Gods can judge me when I'm dead
'Cause I can not take this anymore
I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox
Lost in paradox

The feeling of hatred burns my soul
I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox
Lost in paradox

I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

Burning out and fading away

I feel my eyes, they're paralyzed
Beyond the path of civilized
All that I had was the past
Drown me out what was once what I had burn me out of my misery
Down to the ashes
Ashes, we all fall down to the ashes
Carry on, I've been gone from the place where I belong

'Cause I can not take this anymore
I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox
Lost in paradox

The feeling of hatred burns my soul
I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox
Lost in paradox

I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

Burning out and fading away
The moon, it breaks the sky

(The song) 逃れられない憎しみや悲しみに
向き合うことは辛いけれど
過去の幸せを忘れるほど 不幸な人間にはなりたくはない
進んでいくんだ 一歩ずつ進んでいくんだ

I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

I'm maybe crazy enough to break myself inside my head
'Cause lately I couldn't find these answers to live by instead
Some will call it giving up




I just call it getting lost in my own revenge
Burning out and fading away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Paradox" by Survive Said The Prophet delve into themes of struggle, inner torment, and the desire for revenge. The opening lines, "The sun, it burns the night / The moon, it breaks the sky," create a juxtaposition between light and darkness, suggesting the conflicting emotions and experiences the singer is going through.


The song speaks of a divide between the victims and those who will become prey, symbolizing a harsh reality and the imminent threat of harm. The lyrics express a sense of resignation, as the singer states, "I've giving up on counting blessings / The Gods can judge me when I'm dead." They feel overwhelmed by their circumstances and no longer find solace in seeking silver linings or divine intervention.


The chorus, "I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox / Lost in paradox," conveys a sense of frustration and confusion. The singer is tired of living in a state of contradiction, where their feelings and experiences don't align or make sense. The repeated phrase, "Lost in paradox," suggests being trapped in an emotional and existential contradiction.


The lyrics also allude to the singer's inner turmoil, as they contemplate breaking themselves inside their head and acknowledge their struggle in finding answers to live by. They reject the notion that their actions are giving up, instead defining it as getting lost in their own revenge. This line suggests that their revenge is a way of finding purpose or meaning amidst their inner chaos.


Ultimately, "Paradox" depicts a state of burnout and fading away, as expressed in the closing lines, "Burning out and fading away / The moon, it breaks the sky." The moon breaking the sky could symbolize the singer's descent into darkness and their eventual breakdown. Despite the hardships and confusion, the song also hints at their determination to keep moving forward.

Beyond the path of civilized
Extending beyond the realm of civilized behavior


All that I had was the past
The only thing I possessed was the past


Drown me out what was once what I had burn me out of my misery
Engulf me in what I once had and release me from my suffering


Down to the ashes
Reduced to nothing but ashes


Ashes, we all fall down to the ashes
Like ashes, we all eventually crumble and perish


Carry on, I've been gone from the place where I belong
Continue without me, for I no longer fit in my rightful place


(The song) 逃れられない憎しみや悲しみに 向き合うことは辛いけれど 過去の幸せを忘れるほど 不幸な人間にはなりたくはない 進んでいくんだ 一歩ずつ進んでいくんだ
Facing inevitable hatred and sadness is difficult But I don't want to become an unhappy person to the point of forgetting past happiness We will keep moving forward, one step at a time

Survive Said the Prophet - Paradox
歌詞 (Lyrics - Romaji)

The sun it burns the night
The moon it breaks the sky

Defining lines between the victims
And what will soon become the prey
I’ve giving up on counting blessings
The gods can judge me when I’m dead

Cause I can not take this anymore
I’m done with the feelings that I’ve known in paradox
Lost in paradox
The feeling of hatred burns my soul
I’m done with the feelings that I’ve known in paradox
Lost in paradox

I’m maybe crazy enough to break myself
Inside my head
Cause lately I couldn’t find these answers
to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

Burning out and fading away

I feel my eyes they’re paralyzed
Beyond the path of civilized
All that I had was the past
Drown me out what was once
What I had burn me out of my misery
Down to the ashes
Ashes we all fall down to the ashes
Carry on I’ve been gone
From the place where I belong

Cause I can not take this anymore
I’m done with the feelings that I’ve known in paradox
Lost in paradox
The feeling of hatred burns my soul
I’m done with the feelings that I’ve known in paradox
Lost in paradox

I’m maybe crazy enough to break myself
Inside my head
Cause lately I couldn’t find these answers
to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

I’m maybe crazy enough to break myself
Inside my head
Cause lately I couldn’t find these answers
to live by instead


Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

Burning out and fading away

The moon it breaks the sky

Nogarerarenai nikushimi ya kanashimi ni
Mukiau koto wa tsurai keredo
Kako no shiawase wo wasureru hodo
Fukou na ningen ni wa naritaku wa nai
Susunde ikunda
Ippo zutsu susunde ikunda

I’m maybe crazy enough to break myself
Inside my head
Cause lately I couldn’t find these answers
to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

I’m maybe crazy enough to break myself
Inside my head
Cause lately I couldn’t find these answers
to live by instead
Some will call it giving up
I just call it getting lost in my own revenge

Burning out and fading away

Hermano, escucho en bucle esta canción diariamente desde hace meses. Canción con significado terriblemente profundo y que, sin duda, invita a la reflexión. Me ha influido a nivel personal sobremanera y en la forma que tengo de ver la vida.

2:53 ¨Aunque sea doloroso enfrentar el odio y la tristeza, no quiero convertirme en alguien tan miserable solo para olvidar la felicidad del pasado. Así avanzamos, paso a paso avanzamos hacia delante.¨

¨Nadie es tu enemigo, nadie tiene enemigos, nadie en este mundo merece ser herido.¨

¨El verdadero guerrero no necesita una espada.¨

Gracias, Yukimura.

If "Mukanjyo" was meant to be Thorfinn asking what went wrong, "Paradox" is him finally finding a proper answer and learning to move on with his life.

@feqol

beautifully said

@ae86409888

Really excited about the next one,
Wondering about how will they name the new song for the new episode.

@KafujiSato

I think "Paradox" is also focused on Canute's struggle between his good nature and his duties as king.

@deivisli661

That's only the start of his journey

@annie-sc

​@@KafujiSatoso true, also this MV would've been better if it had more of Canute 😂 it's literally his song lol
