Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm through with this mighty city
Walking around, just stuck in my shit
Conversation based around just sex,
Words at the tip of my tongue (oh damn, baby!)
I'm through with this mighty city
Tell me one thing I must forget,
Thinking about the naked women in my bed
Lost at the tip of my mind (oh damn, baby!)

I'm through with this mighty city
Walking around, just stuck in my shit
Conversation based around just sex,
Words at the tip of my tongue (oh damn, baby!)
I'm through with this mighty city
Tell me one thing I must forget,
Thinking about the naked women in my bed
Lost at the tip of my mind (oh damn, baby!)

I need to be your lover
I need to be your king
I need to be your lover
I need to be your king
I need to be your lover
Everything in between!
I need to be your lover
You need to be my queen
Kiss me in my dreams
And tell me paradise is what we see!

I can't see your face (see your face like that)
Kiss me in my dreams (why don't you kiss me?)
Don't be heart blowing (I won't wake you)
Paradise awaits (yeah, it's waiting!)

Baby, you wanna love me,
Baby, you wanna touch me,
Baby, you wanna kiss me,
It's alright!
Baby, you wanna love me,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zhu's song Paradise Awaits seem to be a commentary on the superficiality and hedonism of city life. The singer is tired of the endless cycle of conversations focused solely on sex and is haunted by thoughts of the women he's been with. He longs for something more profound and meaningful, as evidenced by the repeated refrain of "I need to be your lover, I need to be your king". He's seeking a deeper connection with someone that will take him out of this shallow existence and into paradise.


The second half of the song is more dreamlike and abstract, with the singer urging his lover to kiss him in his dreams and promising that paradise awaits. This suggests that he may be imagining an idealized relationship that doesn't exist in reality. The repetition of "Baby, you wanna love me" and the playful, flirtatious tone of the song as a whole may also indicate that the singer is more focused on the physical aspects of relationships than the emotional ones. Overall, Paradise Awaits is a musing on the search for connection and meaning in a world that often feels empty and unsatisfying.
