As Michelle Zauner revealed in an interview with NPR,
The song title comes from this Satoshi Kon movie, Paprika, and this sort of surreal parade that happens. I was playing around with a lot of these Spitfire Albion orchestra plugins, and I had come up with this marching band thing that built up in...
Paprika Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lucidity came slowly
I awoke from dreams of untying a great knot
It unraveled like a braid into what seemed were thousands
Of separate strands of fishing line
Attached to coarse behavior, it flowed
A calm it urged, what else is here?
[Chorus]
How's it feel to be at the center of magic
To linger in tones and words?
I opened the floodgates and found
No water, no current, no river, no rush
How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers
To captivate every heart?
Projеcting your visions to strangers
Who feel it, who listen to linger on еvery word
[Refrain]
Oh, it's a rush
Oh, it's a rush
[Interlude]
But alone, it feels like dying
All alone, I feel so much
[Verse 2]
I want my offering to woo, to calm, to clear, to solve
But the only offering that comes
It calls, it screams, there's nothing here
[Chorus]
How's it feel to be at the center of magic
To linger in tones and words?
I opened the floodgates and found
No water, no current, no river, no rush
How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers
To captivate every heart?
Projecting your visions to strangers
Who feel it, who listen to linger on every word
[Refrain]
Oh, it's a rush
Oh, It's a rush

What did Japanese Breakfast say about "Paprika"?
This song is the perfect thesis statement for the record because it’s a huge, ambitious monster of a song. We actually maxed out the number of tracks on the Pro Tools session because we used everything that could possibly be used on it. It’s about revelling in the beauty of music.
How does "Paprika" relate to Zauner's views of her work?
Zauner told Harper’s Bazaar:
For a song like ‘Paprika,’ I typically feel like I need to experience anguish a lot of the time to feel like I’ve put in enough hard work. If I finish a music video shoot, or a session, or something after eight hours and I don’t feel like I’m going to collapse, I often...
