Alesana - Paradox Lyrics
Dearest love, I hope this finds you well
I am kidding this is probably hell
Lonely stranger with a brush in hand
Never saw me sneaking up on him
Tonight say goodbye to what you thought you knew
I’m closing my eyes, one more kiss before I never wake again
Two moves ahead of you
You are a pawn
Castle now but I’m behind your king
As your queen lays bleeding on the board
Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy
Unleash the myth living in your worst fears
I’m trapped! Don’t wait!
Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
The story is ending
Would you remember Joan of Arc was her flesh yet unlicked by flame?
Will you remember how the waves crash on the shores of time?
Who would’ve ever known that each choice made sense?
Who could’ve ever known?
Are we not our actions?
Our lives are poetry, make them sonnets
Unleash the myth living in your worst fears
I’m trapped! Don’t wait!
Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
The story is ending
Why do the floorboards creak like a heartbeat
This room is driving me insane
What’s behind the bricks?
Who’s rapping at my chamber door?
Pendulum, why do you torment me?
What am I saying? Have I lost my mind?
I am her!
No longer Fatima, goddess, light
I’ve become Rusalka, demon of night!
Two moves ahead of you
You are a pawn
Castle now but I’m behind your king
As your queen lays bleeding on the board
Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy
Don’t wait...
Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
Page abandoned, time is ending
The story is ending, make them sonnets
We sit and watch the world’s collide
The night that I died I had become Rusalka. I was no longer me. I was no longer Annabel. The beautiful evil coursed through my veins and I saw so clearly what needed to be done. As you lay, fast asleep, I penned her farewell and kissed your cheek. The knife felt so light in my hand, so heavy in my stomach. There is something about this room…

Not bad.

No longer Fatima, goddess, light 😯💔
2017 and I still hear all these songs like the first time...
for some reason a lot of their songs have me imagining walking around in an abandoned or mostly dead and vacant strip mall. XD
Rhiannon Pardee someone had mallrat emo days lol! Just speaking from experience X)
amo esta banda 💜
also... this is usually the part you scream. just the originals. the story is great . i want that os brutality
yes i know very well the trilogy of Annabel i was just implying their use of common verses such as. the emptiness . silent sun. ect. dont get me wrong i love this album amazing. im just concerned their material is becoming repetitive. Along the lines of daggers speak louder than words as well as seduction.
Bruce Larsen it was meant to on this album
I keep coming back to this video. There's something special about it that make me fall in love even more.
I just found this band today and they are fucking awesome
welcome to the alesana story bro
Haha thanks
I honestly think we would all love an acoustic version of this one.
I wouldn't... like in what possible way could they make an acoustic as good as the breakdown in this. Also you said this twice lol.
I would love an acoustic version of this song.
there are many references to older songs throughout this album. i love ALESANA but felt some verses were a bit repetitive. opinions?
Bruce Larsen its called paradox because if you remember in the emptiness someone kills his Annabelle.....well he's the one who does, and this song is talking about that
alesana
Alesana <3
Alesana😍
love alesana.
this should be a movie or Broadway play 😍
Soy la reproducción numero 101,972 hhaa y hablo español jajaja :3. .l. i am cool.
so... in the emptiness who kills annabel is not the thespian but is rusalka? the dark side of annabel? why?????
Deserve more viewers
Dearest love I hope you finds you well...
What a shame. I've loved Alesana since Frail Wings, I've got a tattoo for them, the first 2 albums are flawless. The Emptiness was decent, APWTSIS was slightly better, but this.....there's maybe 2 songs on it I like. They've lost something.
are you fucking retarded. frail wings has a horrible fucking screams in that. by far WORST album. this one they fixed that garbage.
Lol imo, APWTSIS is not better than The Emptiness...the only thing that made APWTSIS good was the musical score, the string quartet, but almost all the songs on that Album sounded so weak, too much clean vocals...take out the orchestra,violins etc. on that Album and you would notice that the songs are just plain boring and average, even the sound production of APWTSIS was terribly done, the drums sounded so muffled because of too much compression...youve already lost your credibility when called Frail Wings a flawless album lol
that chorus is fucking killer
Boa musica
I got a nerdgasm when I first heard the opening lyrics, a good throwback to the last three letters. They even referenced the thespian and fatima rusalka too.
Living Ghost cuz its relatable. its about a story.. but i still clued with the story.
Last Three Letters was the first song I heard by them so that opening line gave me chills. This band. Love 'em.
the emptiness- inspirado en annabel lee, ultimo poema escrito por edgar allan poe, antes de morir
porque las tablas del suelo crujen como un latido? esta habitacion me esta volviendo loca.-corazon delator(edgar allan poe)
que hay detras de los ladrillos?- el gato negro(edgar allan poe)
quien esta golpeando mi puerta?-el cuervo (edgar allan poe)
nadie se dio cuenta? al igual que la referencia en la ultima cancion "cartharsis" , lo primero que dice es "corazon delator"
Luis Carlos Guadarrama Delgadillo Eso ya lo dijo la propria banda, que hay una triologia del poema de poe, el primero es the emptiness, el segundo no recuerdo su nombre y el tercero confessions.
Gracias por estas informaciones manitos
I rate this as the best song on the album; so many awesome melodies with a killer breakdown to go with it. Top 3 goes:
1. Paradox
2. Fatal Optimist
3. The Puppeteer
I love Fatal Optimist! My fav off the album!
Comedy of errors is gr8
In my opinion Catharsis will always be the best of them all
Comedy of Errors
Catharsis
The ending <3
I love just the intro and denis's part..
I'm confused, there're lots of melodies. They could do their album better.
omg ! ella se mató !
Así es. Nada fué un sueño.
@RaZoR MTA Rusalka mató a Annabel.
@io coticherry Rusalka es Annabel en teoría, así que fué un suicidio.
Rusalka fue una "presencia maligna" dentro de Annabel, la que la dirigió a hacer lo que hizo. Es como si estuviese poseída. xD
exacto, xd muchas personas dicen: "fatima es rusalka y es annabel" ... si es cierto pero esta mal interpretado ... es como tu dices xd
The song title actual spoils what the story turns out to be: it's all just a paradox.
Go Alesana nailed it on this album great fn job!!!!
This page is all around perfection! And realizing that Annabel has finally become Rusalka just makes everything perfect!
that chorus..........fucking perfect
Why are so perfect
Dariø GR cuz they are born to be Alesana
The intro sounds a bit like All American Rejects - It All Ends Tonight
@stevenduran1240 cannot unhear now lmao
Dammit Alesana! I lost the game.
This is so good
My favorite.
Dearest love I hope this finds you well..
Dammit Alesana, I can only get so erect.
@akulahirpada1993 It's totally what their goal is. Although only hypothetical in reality, a male literally cannot survive with too large of an erection because too much blood would get trapped there. What better way to accomplish this than by writing such exciting music?
@ultimateAI hahahahahahahahahahahaha wtf... xd
@ultimateAI that fucking explanation, man xD
You read his Wife's mind?
could someone please tell what's the first sentence that Shane does after the intro?
yeah but I think that certain part is missing!
@Alejandro Briceño Yes, it is missing. :(
I quite clearly hear him say "Immortality will soon be mine", but I could be wrong~
@ThatOneGuy sounds kinda like that thanks btw!
@Alejandro Briceño I was apparently looking for that too...
That reference to the last three letters though! Fucking amazing.
@Tommy Jelsomeno Exactly what I thought, hell yeah!
@Tommy Jelsomeno Yes! I love it
