Through poignant lyrics and evocative imagery, The Used delves into the complex interplay of love, loss, and self-identity. The song narrates a tumultuous relationship where the protagonist feels inextricably bound to someone they know intimately yet struggle to detach from. The recurring mention of being "shaken" underscores the emotional turmoil and instability experienced. References to "Paradise lost" and "the shadow" suggest a fall from grace or innocence, symbolizing how the relationship has tainted their perception of happiness. The line "Found the key but couldn't open the cell" reflects a sense of entrapment despite possessing potential solutions or escape routes. Ultimately, this piece explores how deeply ingrained connections can both bless and curse one's existence, making it difficult to sever ties even when it's necessary for self-preservation.
Paradise Lost, a poem by John Milton
Lyrics
To whom it may concern
And all the tragic we've been through
No matter where I go
I keep on running into you
Blink of an eye
Feels like forever
Same as it ever was
Same as whatever
Before the yellow fades to blue
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
Can't bring myself to cut ties
I know you better than anyone
Blessed with this curse my whole life
Won't let me shake the shadow
Paradise lost in your eyes
I know you better than anyone
Blessed with this curse my whole life
Won't let me shake
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
Found the key but couldn't open the cell
This selfishness was part of saving myself
From you now I hold the disease
Planted the poisonous seed
Tried not to eat from the tree
Will I survive?
It's so hard to tell
Can't bring myself to cut ties
I know you better than anyone
Blessed with this curse my whole life
Won't let me shake the shadow
Paradise lost in your eyes
I know you better than anyone
Blessed with this curse my whole life
Won't let me shake
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
