Falling to my knees before you,
So ashamed to see my weakness fill your eyes,
Needlessly, I let myself stray before you,
Now I face the consequence of my betrayal.
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe,
It's you I rely on,
Shelter me from cold, I die in paradigm.
Do we sacrifice, let our story die?
Blissful lullabies return again,
If we still a while, let love survive,
Delicately crawling to your grave.
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe,
It's you I rely on,
Shelter me from cold, I die in paradigm.
Perfect sky, shadow find my lies,
Good enough for always wanting mine
Replaced all your love with pain
So afraid to face the world alone.
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe,
It's you I rely on,
Shelter me from cold, and die in paradigm.
(Die in paradigm, die in paradigm, die in paradigm, die in paradigm)
This song is personal to me. I have massive trust issues, and this song makes me think of the time when I was falling apart inside, and let a friend know about it. I was ashamed, and I immediately felt as though I had betrayed myself by exposing my weaknesses. Since then I have trusted more people and forced myself to trust others, and I have felt a lot better after. This reminds me of the times I have confessed my inner darkness to others. I always feel so vulnerable, weak, ashamed, and hatable. I am always so afraid that the person will judge me and turn their back on me, and I am terrified of betrayal, and this song seems to capture those emotions.
"Falling to my knees before you,
So ashamed to see my weakness fill your eyes,
Needlessly, I let myself stray before you,
Now I face the consequence of my betrayal.
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe,
It's you I rely on,
Shelter me from cold, I die in paradigm."
The line about betrayal is reffering to the self-betrayal you feel when you expose your weakness and let someone in. It talks about wanting the other person to shelter you from the cold, and about showing them that you are not as perfect as you would like to be and that you are human and have weaknesses and asking them to help you. Trust between people can cause pain and is undeniably a risk. Trust can cause a pain like no other, but locking yourself up hurts, and the only difference is that trust does not always cause pain. The part about "My sweet love I breathe" It is talking about loving the other person, whether it be sexually, brotherly, sisterly, friendly, or in any other way, enough to trust them, and the fear of knowing that you now rely on them and that if they leave you will be left broken.
