This highly introspective, spiritual, and somewhat opaque song combines heavy and ambient synths, as well as violin. The violin is exemplary of what Madonna described as Mirwais’s use of “restraint”, in that the violin does not reach its peak of emotion until the end of the song, only hinting at it...
Paradise (Not for Me) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't remember when I was young
I can't explain if it was wrong
My life goes on, but not the same
Into your eyes my face remains
[Chorus]
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
I was so blind, I could not see
Your paradise is not for me
[Verse 2]
Autour de moi, je ne vois pas
Qui sont les anges? Sûrement pas moi
Encore une fois, je suis cassée
Encore une fois, je ne crois pas
[Chorus]
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
[Bridge]
There is a light above my head
Into your eyes, my face remains
[Chorus]
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
[Verse 3]
I can't remember when I was young
Into your eyes, my face remains
Into your eyes, my face remains
[Chorus]
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
