Paradox

by Glass Frames

/

about

This single is an ambitious, cathartic Alternative opus, full of relentless hope. ‘Paradox' is a song that explores seemingly mutually exclusive ideas, such as truth and lies, anger and peace, despair and joy. The song is off our forthcoming album Madrugada. Named after the Spanish word for dawn, this record is an assertion of light in the darkest times we've faced (both personally as band members, as well as for our polarized society). Paradox is not about the truth that we wanted, but about the truth we need. Ironically, it's the truth we’ve known all along: that willful acts of love overpower oppression, fear, selfishness, ignorance, and anything else standing in our way. We have always tried to be a spiritually and sociopolitically conscious band, but this song takes it further than ever. We went for a nuanced but unapologetic message of hope from the depths, and we hope it rises above the noise and reaches you right where you are.

lyrics

Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love

I knew the truth, I knew it from the start
I tossed it out, I’d rather take the lie
I put this world in a little cardboard box
I knew it all, i was a sly fox

Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love

I don’t know why I’d rather go insane
But i’m not the only one, and that’s the crazy thing

Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love

You are the truth, the truth is you
You are the truth, the truth is you
Your life is death, your death is life
You bind me up to set me free
You are the truth, the truth is you

Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love
