Paradise
Yonee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your lips taste like the afterlife
(The afterlife)
And I'll just dive in your arm tonight
(In your arms tonight)

you got me on my knees
Praying for mercy, you body is working to set my spirit free
Floating 'round in paradise

(In paradise)
(In paradise)
Oh, let's run wild in our kingdom
Got me hooked on a feeling
Only heaven knows what we'll do tonight
Keep me in paradise
Paint the sky with your sunlight
Kiss me, oh, make it alright
Only heaven knows what we'll do tonight
Keep me in paradise

Oh, paradise

The universe shines in your eyes
(Shines in your eyes)
(in your eyes)
I'm getting pulled into the light
Your love is salvation, your touch is temptation, I'm lost in ecstasy
I'm taking the fire, I'm faster than light 'cause you're my destiny
Floating 'round in paradise
(In paradise)
Oohhh
Oh, let's run wild in our kingdom
Got me hooked on a feeling
Only heaven knows what we'll do tonight
Keep me in paradise
(Oh, paradise)
Paint the sky with your sunlight
Kiss me, oh, make it alright
Only heaven knows what we'll do tonight
Keep me in paradise
(Oh, paradise)

(Oh, paradise)
Let's run wild in our kingdom

Overall Meaning

The opening line 'Your lips taste like the afterlife' in Yonee's song 'Paradise' suggests that the love that the singer is experiencing feels like eternity. It's ironic that the comparison is with the afterlife, which is usually associated with death and the end of life, but in this case, there is an everlasting sensation that the singer is trying to capture. The lyrics are a tribute to a love that is all-encompassing, a love that transforms the mundane into something ethereal. The singer is capturing the essence of being in love, where we lose ourselves in the emotions that take over our bodies and minds.

The lyrics 'Got me hooked on a feeling/ Only heaven knows what we'll do tonight/ Keep me in paradise/ Paint the sky with your sunlight/ Kiss me, oh, make it alright' appeal to the sense of abandon and letting go, where the singer gives in to the moment and is not afraid of what the outcome may be. You get the sense that the singer is taking a leap of faith, surrendering himself to the pull of love. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple who doesn't care about the world around them; they're living in a paradise that is of their own making.
