This Paradise Lyrics
I could take your breath away
I could make this feel so right
Out of the blackest shadows
Into your burning light
Your touch would enthrall my heart
My touch could release your soul
Lying warm and dark in your arms
Come close to me now and take control
Riding through endless nights
Bury the nameless dead
The stars will rain down in the night
Cast out of Heaven by jealous angels of death
Together we'll rule our world
Together we'll rule theirs too
Lightning and thunder collide at the edge
Of the world for me and you
In this Paradise you'll find
Just what your looking for
Beauty right before you eyes
How could you ask for more
Here behind these eyes
Here inside my soul
Hear the screams of a crucifixion
Ring through the dark
Ring through the cold
Reach up and pull me down
Into your hallowed ground
I'll lead you into temptation
Buried in passion
I'll lead you down...
I could make this feel so right
Out of the blackest shadows
Into your burning light
My touch could release your soul
Lying warm and dark in your arms
Come close to me now and take control
Bury the nameless dead
The stars will rain down in the night
Cast out of Heaven by jealous angels of death
Together we'll rule theirs too
Lightning and thunder collide at the edge
Of the world for me and you
Just what your looking for
Beauty right before you eyes
How could you ask for more
Here inside my soul
Hear the screams of a crucifixion
Ring through the dark
Ring through the cold
Into your hallowed ground
I'll lead you into temptation
Buried in passion
I'll lead you down...

It's obviously romantic goth so it's bound to be a song led by the power of romance and seduction but the melody reminds me of something from a panto in the weirdest way.
When I hear it I visualise someone 'love bombing someone' (giving them false promises) saying I could do all these things to tempt someone to be with them to only hurt them later with the classic 'I did all these things for you why are you refusing to submit to me now'
Kind of like a dom/sub relationship but a negative one where it leads to emotional turmoil.
With the title being 'This Paradise' it reminds me of someone saying this is the life you could have if you just take this chance, except the repetition of it sounds as though the narrator is manipulating them into it with bad intentions.
Lot of nod at how power is the greatest currency 'together we'll rule our would, together we'll rule theirs too' like the temptation of gaining more power but at what cost...
i tend to envision things when i listen to music and this is definitely one of them. i think he's discussing themes of seduction and being with that one person loving them no matter what.
i agree with the other commenter that this is in reference to a dom/sub relationship but with less dark themes. i think it's suggesting 'what would you do to prove your love to me.' kinda suggesting that i will give you all the pleasure in the world if you choose me and only me.
i think he is teasing his submissive trying to make them believe that they are not doing enough to please him as part of some sort of degradation strategy. locking them in as though they can be discarded at any time and must stay at the level they are.
a big part of this is language such as 'i could' saying this is what could be if you sign up to be in this commitment forever. very very sacred.
Beautiful song
