According to the Cambridge Dictionary a paradigm is a model of something, or a very clear and typical example of something.
The frontman Landon Tewers said about ‘Paradigm’ “I wrote [it] for another band in 2020. […] I kept coming back to it with my own vocal ideas and ultimately decided to keep i...
[Verse 1]
Buried my face within my hands
The same hands that erased him
I've lived in metaphors
Why don't they question a thing?
I've said it all before
They follow religiously
What if they truly knew how much I led them astray?
Can hardly look at you knowin' your soul isn't safe
[Pre-Chorus]
(Not safe, not safe, not safe)
[Chorus]
I'm just a paradigm
A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse
When will they recognize they jeopardize morality?
They're following no one they should idolize
[Verse 2]
Ooh, we stand like gods amongst weak men
Could we save them?
Is there interest?
What is my voice to you?
Do I give something you need?
Grant me my solitude
Or manifest like disease
You want the painful truth?
I never came here to serve
And if you're still confused
Look to my words for the proof
[Chorus]
I'm just a paradigm
A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse
When will they recognize they jeopardize morality?
They're following no one they should idolize
[Bridge]
We're all just venturing aimless
With hopes to transcend
If there's a price on the answer you're just a number to them
(That stupid motherfucker)
Just a number to them
[Post-Bridge]
We stand like gods amongst weak men
Do we save them?
Is there interest?
[Chorus]
I'm just a paradigm
A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse
When will they recognize they jeopardize morality?
They're following no one they should idolize

I hate that people idolize artists and content creators. I’m a fucking moron, I have no clue what I’m doing in life. No one should look up to me or 99% of the people in the industry. But I have a real issue with people who profit off of being “role models”. I’ve seen dudes do lines of blow and then...
This song was probably the most challenging for me to write and to mix. So many bizarre elements needed to be blended. Still carrying on a lot of lessons I learned just creating this one song. It’s one of my favorites on the record.
