Stuck in Paradise - The Song

[Mike Dammann]

I have written this song last year. It was about thinking you want something and then realizing that once you´ve had it, the empty feeling kicked in and you were seduced by the things the world tries to sell us as something that everyone who has the resources and the luck to get will enjoy having.

In this state we are in, this song can easily relate to what the Obama administration and before that the campaigners were selling Americans.
A dream which goes against human nature´s real needs and a dream which cannot be achieved.
So much in life is a lie, while the things that we need and really make us happy get overlooked too often.

Here is the Stuck in Paradise MP3 and below are the lyrics.

Enjoy!

Stuck in Paradise

The golden cage is closing in
The diamond chain is getting tight
The clouds beneath me fall apart
Been elevated by a lie

I can't believe this is the place
My dreams have sent me to
I can't believe this is the day
My nightmare has come true I'm

Stuck in Paradise
I cannot leave
Stuck in Paradise
Not my place to be

Stuck in Paradise
Time for me to leave
Stuck in Paradise
Oh how I've been deceived

Just like Phoenix
I am rising
From the ashes of your love

That I have once believed in
But enough is enough

Break me again
I want to pick up the pieces
Start over with something
I can believe in

Stuck in Paradise
I cannot leave
Stuck in Paradise
Not my place to be

Stuck in Paradise
Time for me to leave
Stuck in Paradise
Oh how I've been deceived

There's an end waiting to be reached
There's a lesson I have learned
And now it's time for me to teach
And time to watch this bridge burn

Stuck in Paradise
It's time to back my bags
Stuck in Paradise
I'm getting back on track

Break me again
I want to pick up the pieces
Start over with something
I can believe in

Break me again
I want to pick up the pieces
Start over with something
I can believe in
