I think my accusation of rhyming for rhyme's sake is justified. What tense is it supposed to be in anyway? The song is insipid enough anyway without this kind of sloppy, careless songwriting.

I do agree with you on two things: that the ending is rushed and that it is not their best album.
Paradise is about a Girl who thought she could do anything in the world. The older she got more problems she faced and her dreams were taken from her. She searches for Paradise. The bullets catch in her teeth are the problems she faces. Music has a lot of metaphors.
