[Brady]
Scared I'm gonna trip my fingers
These fingers stuck in your third eye
As I gotcha paralyzed your heart venture
Bad tidings residing in liberal
Until nightfall I might crawl outta the shadows in your sleep
Cause my wrist bone's connected to the hand bone's connected to the
Jizz nasty I can never let it walk on by
Why do I feel so high when it strikes mid-knight in shining armor
Cybernetic snake charmer
All you can get
Your sweat glands and pores in your skin
Release spores from within leviathan
Can't hang unless you swing by the neck
Untempered instrumentals got you smooth
As thinking continental cruise
Your core bruise until your spine and
Press rewind too many times
And catch several shurikens
To your mind and soul as I swallow it whole
I see you grippin' on
Cybertron optimist call me crypticon
Synchro on quartz tryin' to thwart the upending doom
Croonin' like coyotes at the moon
When its almost high noon niggas swoon like ninjas
Unite west coast avengers
Drift fine swollen member

[Madchild]
Sparkling crackling
Tackling stacked assailants
Medieval magicians practice under heavy surveillance
The ultimate quartet indestructible unpredictable
Symbolic sorcerers collaborate with one trick to pull
The trick is to focus
Make millions from swollen billions
Seek the weak and destroy
Soldiers controlling civilians
Deploy the daredevil dimension
Competition cringes
They couldn't get open if they came equipped with hinges
Addicted to dope injected by swollen syringes
This flame thrower singes and burns you to a crisp of ashes
I'm ill suffer from constant hot flashes
Bad rock annihilates violator retaliates
Vertibreaker will mutilate
Ghost causing sirens
Hands of hostility strangling evil tyrants
Who worship the power plant I've seen many strange things
Protect the sacred circle and beware of the changelings

[Tony Da Skitzo]
Move the masses changing your acetone mono
We're high tech phonos slash ?
Labyrinth spreading chaotic activity
Wide open door frivolling away like cumulus clouds
Your a black rose lost in my black flag
Motel strange corridors
With the only sensor receptacles receiving technical difficulties
Mics philiac ?
No gimmicks
A patch over your left eye
?
While the venomous
Serum leaks in your heart print
Indent a paragraph and the message is sent
Transparent sentiments
That are radioactive
And leave a fritz like apocalypse
Leaving the former ?
Attempt your consciousness like triplets
Back to back to back like ?
In a foreign country we still excavate doves
Isolate you to a torture
Merchants in my village
Remains of no life just cold breezes and past souls
Mistaking fake saviors
Blessed in his own castle
Now its just relics left back ?
And the color is tinted

[Prevail]
Enter the uncensored sensor of lord magenta
A member of mensa doctor mind bender
Middle earth fabric tearer like ?
My crushed velvet cape drags through the quicksand
And long last and scribe masters with poisonous penmanship
Summer equinoxes and winter solstices shift liquid land
I lift my crooked hands and orchestrate
The blatant containment of force so fluorescent
You're surely asking for your melting pot
To be a meeting spot
For contaminate contestants




Even Nostradamus couldn't predict these Nosferatu's
With advanced sharpened lance and pierce you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Swollen Members' song, Paradise Lost, contain an eerie and profound message that envelopes futuristic and apocalyptic tones. The song's overall theme is related to despair and loss of control, deftly sung by the artists' vocals. The first verse, by Brady, presents a sense of fear and uncertainty, where the singer mentions his desire to touch someone's third eye, aka the pineal gland, to open their spiritual vision. The third eye metaphors continue throughout the verse, where the singer implies his desire to incapacitate someone emotionally and mentally, to control them. The second verse by Madchild, takes the singer's fear and portrays it as anger and aggression towards the authorities and their control over civilians. The verse uses symbolism, where the singer mentions that they seek the weak and destroy them, using sorcery, flame thrower, hands of hostility, and vertibreakers. Followed by Tony Da Skitzo's verse, which explains the singer's desire to make a difference in the world by changing perceptions and bringing forth chaotic activities to instigate thoughtfulness. The verse then goes on to explain their sense of isolation and confusion amid dynamic situations. Finally, concluding with Prevail's verse, which speaks of the singer's superiority in intelligence and knowledge. The verse also presents the need for control over the landscape by means of orchestration implied through poison penmanship, lifting of crooked hands, etc., to minimize contamination and prevent impending doom.


The overall message of the song is to reflect on the loss of control, a sense of despair and impending doom caused by the human race's relinquishment of power to authorities. The song shifts through perspectives, delving into personal desires, anger, hopefulness, and control. The lyrics' use of symbolisms, metaphors, and profound words like Nosferatu, advanced sharpened lance, liquid land, and venomous serum, all contribute to painting an eerie and compelling picture of a dystopian future.
