Coming from a background of producing lofi hip hop beats, their approach to making indie rock music lets out sounds of synth-pop and dance inducing rhythms – as if 90’s grunge songs were sent to the future to be produced. For the duo of Emil Paiker and Louis Springer, last year’s pandemic allowed the opportunity to look inward and time to record and release their first EP, Cinematic Youth. From the wealth of singles released the year before to their current vibrational state, a number of different genres and profound emotional depth can be heard. Cinematic Youth was their lyrical debut, and while it was a short, four song project which leaned on their prowess as producers, Paiker’s vocals and Springer’s guitars tapped into an area of their artistry the world hadn’t seen yet and set the stage for what would come next.

Fool's Paradise
peach tinted Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unbroken silence makes me feel so dead inside

Cold blooded love
Sparks hope in my mind
Your cross can't be light
We're paralyzed

We see different stars

In the late night sky
Wonder what you dream of
Is there space for mine?

I was livin' in a fool's paradise
Soothe my soul with all our white lies
I found pleasure running through the rain at night
Unbroken silence makes me feel so dead inside

Her tired smile
Pain lose your peak
Gentle kiss on her cheek
Don't feel quite right

Know I'm not the one
Come drink this wine
Listen to our song, yeah
Chasin' short term highs

I was livin' in a fool's paradise
Soothe my soul with all our white lies
I found pleasure running through the rain at night
Unbroken silence makes me feel so dead inside

Somewhere I lost my pride
Forget and leave behind
Got so much pain inside
Just wanna feel alive

Somewhere I lost my pride
Forget and leave behind
Got so much pain inside
Just wanna feel alive

Somewhere I lost my pride
Forget and leave behind
Got so much pain inside
Just wanna feel alive

Somewhere I lost my pride
Forget and leave behind

Got so much pain inside
Just wanna feel alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to “Fool’s Paradise” by Peach Tinted paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship. The opening line “Unbroken silence makes me feel so dead inside” suggests a relationship that has lost its spark and vitality. The second line “Cold blooded love sparks hope in my mind, your cross can't be light we're paralyzed” suggests a feeling of hopelessness and stagnation, that the love between the two is not easily fixable.

It seems that the two have different hopes and dreams, with the line “We see different stars in the late night sky, wonder what you dream of, is there space for mine?” painting a picture of two individuals with different aspirations. The chorus “I was livin' in a fool's paradise, soothe my soul with all our white lies, I found pleasure running through the rain at night, unbroken silence makes me feel so dead inside” suggests a sense of disillusionment and a feeling of being trapped in a false sense of happiness. The verses also paint a picture of confusion and mixed emotions, with the line “Don't feel quite right, know I'm not the one” suggesting that one of the partners knows the relationship isn’t right for them, but still clings to it.

Overall, the lyrics of “Fool’s Paradise” revolve around the complexities of a struggling relationship - the feeling of being trapped, the inability to communicate effectively, and the longing for something better.
