I can't remember
When I was young
I can't explain
If it was wrong
My life goes on
But not the same
Into your eyes
My face remains (I've been so high)

I've been so down
Down to the ground

I was so blind
I could not see
Your paradise
Is not for me

Autour de moi
Je ne vois pas
Qui sont des anges
Sûrement pas moi
Encore une fois
Je suis cassée
Encore une fois
Je ne crois pas

I've been so high
I've been so down
Up to the skies
Down to the ground

There is a light
Above my head
Into your eyes
My face remains

I've been so high (been so high)
I've been so down (been so down)
Up to the skies (to the skies)
Down to the ground (to the ground)

I can't remember
When I was young
Into your eyes
My face remains

Into your eyes
My face remains

I've been so high (been so high)
I've been so down (been so down)
Up to the skies (to the skies)
Down to the ground (to the ground)

I've been so high (been so high)
I've been so down (been so down)
Up to the skies (to the skies)
Down to the ground (to the ground)

    Song Meaning

    As Lady Madonna's Sad Detroit voice recalls and recoils in absolute horror, Sad Music ballad Paradise is again-like all good Madonna tunes-about her mother's sad, senseless and tragic death. Except this time, Madonna really does have a reason to Sob and Cry in Her Sad and Wet Tears. Our Lady of MDNA Cries-"I can't remember/When I was young/I can't explain/If it was wrong/My (Sad) Life Goes On but Not the Same/Into your eyes, my face remains!" Madonna Tries to be happy but all she can really do is figure out why she's here on Earth searching for her existence. Still Madonna loves her life because she's got the Rock Crowd-an adoring fanbase, Rolling Stone and USA Today among many publications-to help her along in her brilliance! As someone who delivers on stage every time, Madonna Cries "I have the best job in the world. I'm gonna sing my heart out tonight!" That you do Madonna! Because your Paradise is the same as ours, you make our lives better! We then love you in kind and return! Thanks, Madge!
