Trouble in Paradise
T.N.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going to work like every single fuckin' day
Don't see a sense of purpose but I got bills to pay
It's such a drag but the day will come when I'm gonna rise
But 'til then it's another day in paradise
Black is my soul but my soul is on fire
I know how to roll though I am sick and tired
Praying for the day that'll come when I'm gonna rise
But till then it's another day in paradise

Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise
The day will come when I'm gonna shine and rise but 'til then it is just a
Another day in paradise

Feeling abused, slaved - am I hoping in vain
One man's pleasure is another good man's pain
I must believe in the day that'll come when I'm gonna rise
But 'til then it's another day in paradise
Blacker my soul but my soul is still on fire
I know how to roll though I am sick and tired
Praying for the day that'll come when I'm gonna rise
But 'til then it is just another

Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise
The day will come when I'm gonna shine and rise but 'til then it is just a
Another day in paradise

Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise
Another day in paradise




Another day in paradise
Not a day in paradise

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of T.N.T.'s song "Rich In Paradise" depict the struggles and frustrations of everyday life, particularly in the pursuit of financial stability. The first verse highlights the monotonous routine of going to work every day without finding any real sense of purpose. Despite the lack of fulfillment, the singer is motivated by the need to pay their bills. They acknowledge that one day they will rise above their current situation, but for now, they find themselves stuck in what feels like just another day in paradise.


The second verse emphasizes the internal turmoil within the singer. They describe their soul as black, possibly hinting at a sense of despair or negativity. However, their soul is also on fire, showing that they have a burning passion and desire for something more. They have become skilled at navigating life's challenges, yet they are exhausted and weary. They continue to pray and hope for the day when they will finally rise above their circumstances, but until then, they have to endure another day in paradise.


The chorus serves as a reminder of the repetitive nature of their current situation. They reiterate the phrase "another day in paradise" to emphasize the ongoing struggle and lack of breakthrough. However, the lyrics also convey a sense of determination and belief that one day they will shine and rise above it all. It's a glimmer of hope that keeps them going.


The final repetition of "another day in paradise" in the outro signifies a shift in perspective. By saying "not a day in paradise," the singer is rejecting the illusion of their current reality. They acknowledge that it may seem like paradise to an outsider, but in truth, it is not fulfilling or satisfying for them. It's a reflective conclusion that encapsulates the overall sentiment of the song – longing for a better future and rising above the challenges of everyday life.
