Drowning in Paradise Lyrics

Drowning in black
Drowning in white
Gray is the only thing in sight
My lungs are filled with disease
Dark cloud hangs over me
Think clumps of dust make it hard to breathe
There is a better place
I know
Because I saw you go
And you came back shining so bright
Next to you I look so white
But still I'd rather not leave
I'd rather not go
Because then I'd be drowning in you
Drowning in light
Drowning in Paradise

There is no place
I'd rather not see
Than the place you came from for me
Maybe it's beautiful
Maybe it's bright
After all it's Paradise
But things will still burn
Things will still fall
Bad things will still happen in a perfect little world

But still I'd rather not leave
I'd rather not go
Because then I'd be drowning in you
Drowning in light
Drowning in Paradise

Drowning in black
Drowning in white
Gray is the only thing in sight

But still I'd rather not leave
I'd rather not go
Because then I'd be drowning in you
Drowning in light
Drowning in a good place
That's the worst way to die by
Drowning in Paradise
Drowning in Paradise
Drowning in Paradise
Who'd want to drown in Paradise?

But still I'd rather not leave
I'd rather not go
Because then I'd be drowning in you
Drowning in light
Drowning in Paradise

Drowning in black
Drowning in white
Gray is the only thing in sight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
