My InterpretationI think this song could be gives the illusion that it's drug related but maybe they're both to young to be in love. They are also ruining his life, taking away his ability to feel anything but the pains of withdrawal. "They" refers to the drugs, which used to be "kind" to him, in that they made him feel better, but now the drugs are driving them apart, so he feels lonely because they are metaphorically apart because of the drug high. When they dance, stoned in paradise, they're getting high together.
Here's my interpretation: they are both on drugs. Additionally, I think you're wrong about "they" being rehab people. While it could be hyperbole saying he just misses her that much, I don't think so. Would make a lot less sense, given that it sounds like he's describing addiction. On the other hand, if it were JUST about his lover's addiction, this part in the second verse: Wouldn't make sense, since the drugs don't feel and there is little that can be metaphorically called it's heart or mind. If it were JUST about his own addiction, then this part in the first verse : So not so dark, but really melancholic.Īctually, I think it's a bit of both. SHE is stoned in paradise, he's happy she's with him at least during that time. So he knows she's doing the wrong thing, but still, when she's high she dances (or "dances") with him and it's even better than normal. He hopes it didn't cause greater problems, but he thinks her heart is still strong enough. "They" were first kind, and offered her something to help her a bit, get her going, help her study, but then the addiction got out of hand and "they" have took her away from him. Now for the bit nicer one, he's clean, but his girlfriend has the addiction and when she was away doing drugs, or on a rehab, he was lonely. "They" are the people who want to help him and take the drugs away from him, but he doesn't care, he found them anyways and enjoys them. He actually succumbed to his addiction and every moment without it he feels cold and alone. HE is stoned and he shouldn't talk about how great it is. Now I propose two possible interpretations: First the dark one The author metaphorically sings about the stuff he craves. Song MeaningAll of this can very well be about drug addiction. That is just my interpretation but it is exactly what I went through with my ex and he felt the same way. (Can't find his way out of the depression without her) (Suspense is killing him hoping she will come back because their relationship has been back and forth but they always got back together. (the "honeymoon" is over, they are back to reality and she has drifted away completely because of the confusion and pain family and friends put her through) (It's so amazing they just feel completely lost and stoned in the paradise they are in when it is just them) (they don't talk about all the troubles they are having)
(They get away or remember back to a time where it was just them, no outside influence from anybody else and they danced like they had never danced before and were just completely and entirely happy being just the two of them) (They have spent more and more time apart because of her friends and family pulling her away) (He knows she is a strong individual and her love for him is strong so he is hoping her heart is tough enough to withstand the criticism) (Family or friends have become unforgiving at things he has done or put her through and she is drifting because of the turmoil they put her under bc of being with him) (they have been drifting apart and he wants her back by his side bc the loneliness is terrible.) General CommentI may be biased since this situation happened to me, but it seems as if it's about a love that has drifted apart. Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it But now they've brought you away from here
