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.

Rhyming for rhyme's sake? These lines don't even rhyme completely; rather, they are semi-rhymed. And how are these bad lyrics? What is defined as "good" lyrics to you? Would you rather go jam to some Floyd and hear Gilmour babble, "hello? is there anybody out there? just nod if you can hear me"
Poetic.
Paradise is about a girl that thought she was on top of the world. Everybody knows someone like this in their life. Well, this song describes the girl's downfall. "Bullets" are a metaphorical way of describing the newfound issues in her life, as the poster before me said. Maybe you're incapable of understanding figurative language, and for that, I apologize.
