My favorite song is called “Paradise” this song is about a girl who has a terrible life when she is not sleeping, but when she falls asleep she dreams of paradise. The reason why I love Paradise. Because this piece, brings me back to a year ago. It’s like when I listen to this song, it brings every moment from last year in my mind. The lyrics that really get to me in this song are “When she was just a girl she expected the world, but it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth.” “Life goes on it gets so heavy the wheel breaks the butterfly.” “So lying underneath those stormy skies she’d say, “oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise.”
