Paradise is track 4/4 from T R O P O - Vol 1. This song is about when you can’t seem to break the cycle of negative thinking and your mind is filled with guilt, shame and anger, twisting experiences and memories to leave them feeling inescapable. It explores the tendencies of being overwhelmed by anxiety, fear and self isolation. The concept seemed to naturally fit the instrumental and reinforce the headspace of the song. Written and performed by Hands Like Houses & Matthew Wright Additional music and production by Callan Orr Produced by Callan Orr & Alexander Pearson Engineered, Mixed and Mastered by Callan Orr at Avalanche Studios Director / Editor - Sam Koster Additional Shooting by Neal Walters Dancer - Tiana Rakei Lyrics: No more maybes Nobody’s gonna save me If it hurts don’t blame me I’m only searching for a place to breathe What’s your situation? You need an education Can’t you see I’m wasting, wasting away? Things are under control, everything is alright No need for concern here, I’m doing just fine I may be running in circles and living a lie This is my paradise No more sleeping It’s lost all meaning to me Caught beneath the surface, trying to find a purpose Can’t you see I’m wasting, wasting away? I may be running in circles and living a lie This is my paradise
