A Town Called Paradise
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your heartache is tidal wave
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
When euphoria is hit and run
And you are drowning in a heatless sun
Oh you can pull me under
So let's wash away the night
Into a neon scene of light
Away we'll drive into a town called paradise
Into a town called paradise
When you are buried in the world eclipse
And there's nobody to help you left
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
When you are running out of dreams to catch
And every morning is an hourglass
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
So let's wash away the night
Into a neon scene of light
Away we'll drive into a town called paradise
Into a town called paradise
When your sanity is a hurricane
When your sanity is a hurricane
When your sanity is a hurricane
When your sanity is a hurricane
It's a hurricane
Oh you can pull me under
Pull me under
So let's wash away the night
Into a town called paradise
Into a town called paradise
Into a town called paradise

When your sanity is a hurricane
When you're feeling overwhelmed and mentally chaotic
And your heartache is tidal wave
When your emotional pain feels insurmountable and all-consuming
Oh you can pull me under
I am here for you and will support you through anything
When euphoria is hit and run
When moments of happiness are fleeting and quickly disappear
And you are drowning in a heatless sun
When you feel lost and trapped in your current circumstances
So let's wash away the night
Let's leave the darkness and negativity behind
Into a neon scene of light
We'll enter a vibrant, exciting new environment
Away we'll drive into a town called paradise
We'll escape to a place that feels perfect and idyllic
When you are buried in the world eclipse
When you feel trapped in a situation where everything seems bleak
And there's nobody to help you left
When you feel isolated and alone in your struggles
When you are running out of dreams to catch
When you feel like you're losing hope or motivation for the future
And every morning is an hourglass
When time feels limited and passing quickly
When your sanity is a hurricane
When you're feeling overwhelmed and mentally chaotic
It's a hurricane
A reminder that these moments of struggle can feel intense and all-consuming
Oh you can pull me under
I am here for you and will support you through anything
So let's wash away the night
Let's leave the darkness and negativity behind
Into a town called paradise
Let's escape to a place that feels perfect and idyllic
