Story behind the song
“Paradise” is the first single off of Alexa Borden’s third album. It is clearly inspired by Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Lolita” about the loss of innocence and the loss of youth. Also it is about constantly not being good enough for someone.
Lyrics
I tie my hair up high Do what you like To keep you enticed I once felt youthful Now I'm pale an polluted Blinded by your paradise If you don't want me Don't be shy Leave me, reeling I do my make-up Big black eyes That dress you like You'll take off tonight But when you touch me I wish you were kinder Wish I'd been wiser Not blinded by your paradise If you don't love me Don't be lyin' Leave me weak-kneed Oh, pretty baby Oh, pretty baby Oh she's fading If you don't want me Don't be shy Leave me, reeling If you don't love me Don't be lyin' Leave me weak-kneed
