To enter this paradise you must dream about it first,
you’ll never want to wake up.
everything you want is here
but no one except you will be here

You’ll never want to wake up
as long as you never become bored
but no one except you will be here
once you realize that, this place is no longer paradise

As long as you never became bored,
you would have never seen how lonely paradise is,
but, once you realize that, this place is no longer paradise
Only a nightmare promising an illusory slice of the things we want

You have experienced how lonely paradise is,
But what is really paradise?
Is it only a nightmare promising an illusory slice of the things we want?
or is it a lonely dream that cannot be shared

But what is really paradise?
is everything you want really in paradise,
or is it a lonely dream that cannot be shared?
To enter paradise, you must dream about it first.
