"Dark Paradise" is a song about the lingering memories of lost love and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics express a sense of yearning and longing for someone who is no longer present. The singer is lying in the ocean, singing her lover's song, remembering how they used to play and love each other. The haunting memories of the lover's face and soul that won't leave her head torment her. The chorus reveals that every time the singer closes her eyes, she enters a dark paradise of memories with her lover.
