It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love,
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love,
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love,
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love,
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again

The tittle - Paradise Circus
'unfortunate that when we feel a storm'
'we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable'
'devil makes us sin'
'we like it when we're spinning in his grip'
'love is like a sin, my love'
'the ones that feel it the most'
'her with eyes like a flame'
'love you like a fly, never love you again'
As we can see the links between all of these are random, hence we must research carefully.
Firstly, the tittle does not link to any part of the lyric, as it does not correspond to any feeling of love, nor the belief that love is a sin within the human nature. However, we can infer that the tittle is somewhat the setting of the song.
The song begins with the lyric 'it's unfortunate that when we feel a storm, we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable'. The chosen lyric reveals that we are frightened by a storm, as we are naturally too scared of harsh sounds in our surroundings, linking the lyric to nature and our feelings. Through this, we can guess that the meaning is to with natural feelings and our environment, for instance, we can 'fall in love' with a stranger passing by, due to our natural instincts.
'The devil makes us sin' portrays that love is a feeling, that crushes us, if we missus it - we look at it this way, if we follow it with the previous lyric. This twists the songs meaning, by interpreting love as a natural feeling we all missus.
If we follow the past lyric meaning to 'We like it when we're spinning in his grip', we automatically twist the previous overall meaning, by developing an understanding for the words we, like, spinning and in his grip. We can infer that the meaning changes into something such as - we like the trembling moment of us misusing love, until we are broken. I believe this, as from the lyrics, the devil is practically controlling our feelings, from the phrase - spinning in his grip.
'Look at her with a smile like a flame, she will love you like a fly never love you', as humans, we do not care for flies, hence by saying 'love you like a fly' indicates that we mean very little to the person saying this phrase. This changes the meaning by giving us the understanding that the one we have accidently fallen for, is not loving you back hence you are playing the devils game, by falling for the sin.
The trick of the lyrics, however, is the word 'again'. This word completely changes the whole lyrics meaning, into something more extravagant. Most likely - the one you have fallen for a long time ago, in the paradise circus, has loved you back, until you have found that the devil was controlling your feelings, for the wrong person, leaving that 'wrong' person to break your heart and leave you.
If you compare the lyrics to the official video of the song, then we are all wrong with the meaning entirely...

"She will love you like a fly will never love you again."
I have a few interpretations. At this moment in the song, the perspective is changed from first person to second.
For the quote, I visualize a failed relationship in which one person is heartbroken while the other is apathetic. The emotional quandaries of a fly are insigificant, and the fly is a metaphor for the apathy by "she" that is conveyed to her counterpart, I believe.
A fly's desires could also be an extension and metaphor to the character of "lust" (whomever it may be) the vocalist refers to in the song, meaning that the character the song refers to may love another person, but only out of desire.

It's when we want someone so bad and you know it can never get further, so you just want to sleep with them to get rid of the feeling instead of just going away because it just won't happen and you can't do it. we try not to do it because it feels wrong, but once we get the chance we will do it, Then we regret it at some point, but that's okay cause it feels so good and we like it, and that devilish satisfaction just happens and they have no idea what we feel on the inside about it.
I don't know why but it has nothing to do with what anyone thought it was but to me it's been always like that. maybe because that's the way i feel.
The stone is a problem, and we rid ourselves by finding a way out, or not dealing with it. We give up so easily. We barely try to solve our problems.
"But we like it when we're spinning... in his grin..."
We're too far gone. So much so that we love the chaos, the intense thrill of evil. His grin is enticing... It draws you in...
