Stranger In Paradise
Tindrum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in Paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry eyed,
That's a danger in Paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you
I saw your face,
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rarest somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer?
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise




And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

Line by Line Meaning

Take my hand,
Please accompany me,


I'm a stranger in Paradise
I feel out of place in this heavenly setting,


All lost in a wonderland
I am completely bewildered in this unfamiliar world,


A stranger in paradise
I am a foreigner in this paradise,


If I stand starry eyed,
If I gaze into the beauty around me,


That's a danger in Paradise
It's risky to let myself become too enamored,


For mortals who stand beside
Because mortal beings like me can't handle it,


An angel like you
Especially when being next to someone as divine as you,


I saw your face,
I caught a glimpse of your countenance,


And I ascended
And I felt like I was lifted to a higher level,


Out of the common place
And was freed from the usual circumstances of life,


Into the rarest somewhere in space
And I found myself in an incredibly extraordinary place in the cosmos,


I hang suspended
I feel like I am floating,


Until I know
Until I can determine,


There's a chance that you care
If there is any possibility that you may be interested,


Won't you answer this fervent prayer?
Please respond to my sincere request,


Of a stranger in paradise
From an outsider in this haven,


Don't send me in dark despair
Please do not shatter my hopes,


From all that I hunger for
Of all that I desire,


But open your angel's arms
Please embrace me with your celestial love,


To this stranger in paradise
To this person who has yet to feel at home in this paradise,


And tell him that he need be
Inform him that he doesn’t have to be anymore,


A stranger no more
An outsider who doesn’t belong in this heavenly world.
