Paradise Burning Lyrics

Don't know what to do
Don't know how we made it this far
This California weather
The summer in December
Let me go, Just let me go
Finally found a way
Finally found a way to shut you out
I'm lost and gone forever
Now has turned to never
Just let me go

I'm just slipping away down the coast
And I'm so far away from home
Never returning
Paradise Burning

Don't know what to do
Don't know if it's true anymore
(You can lie about it)
Like a wave that's finally broken
(Tell me why about it)
I'm running back to the ocean
(Gotta let me go)
Let me go just let me go
Finally figured out
Finally figured out what I am
(What to do about it)
I'm lost and gone forever
(Without you I'm drowning)
Now has turned to never
(Gotta let me go)
Just let me go

I'm just slipping away down the coast
And I'm so far away from home
Never returning
Paradise Burning
Feeling so alone
Strangers looking through me like a ghost
And I'm so far away away from home
Never returning
Paradise Burning

And it fills my lungs
It couldn't get any better
And it fills my lungs
I'm falling into the fire

I'm just slipping away down the coast
And I'm so far away from home
Never returning
Paradise Burning
Feeling so alone

I'm just slipping away down the coast
And I'm so far away from home
Never returning
Paradise Burning
Feeling so alone
Strangers looking through me like a ghost
And I'm so far away away from home
Never returning
Paradise Burning

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.

Paradise burning makes me imagine some day where it's just so fucking hot and uncomfortable. I have no idea what the lyrics mean though...

the song sorta sounds like a song about slavery and trying to escape which explains "I'm just slipping away down the coast And I'm so far away from home Never returning Paradise Burning Feeling so alone"
