The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
Faith is what it costs to live
The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
I feel it crawling down my skin again
This happened way too many times before
The poison in me
I see the bodies down the corridor
Singing a hymn a never heard before
They told me
Faith is what it costs to live
The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
So don’t take my hand
Don’t let me in
I’ll be dead before tomorrow
So I’ll keep on walking the blind man’s path
A broken to broken
A damned for a damned
Repeating the choices that I never had
An eye for an eye
A broken not dead
A broken not dead
A broken not dead
A broken not dead
I will stay alive
I will stay alive
Faith is what it costs to live
The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
Faith is what it costs to live
The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
Faith is what it costs to live
The distance in between
Reality in dreams are hard to follow
Let me go
I’m not sane here no
Let me go
I’m not sane
In the song "Paradox" by Aviana, the lyrics explore the concept of faith and its significance in life. The repetition of the line "Faith is what it costs to live" emphasizes the importance of faith as a guiding force. It suggests that faith is necessary to navigate the challenges and uncertainties that exist between reality and dreams.
The lyrics also touch upon the struggle and vulnerability of the singer. They express a sense of unease and discomfort, as indicated by the line "I feel it crawling down my skin again, this happened way too many times before." It portrays a recurring feeling of being poisoned or tainted by something negative.
The mention of bodies down the corridor singing an unfamiliar hymn suggests a detachment from the familiar and a sense of being lost or out of place. The singer is advised not to take someone's hand and not to let them in, implying a desire to avoid further pain or destruction. The repetition of "A broken not dead" reinforces the idea that despite feeling broken or damaged, the singer is determined to keep moving forward and stay alive.
