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.

YorkeDaddy, you are probably the nicest person on this forum (from what I can gather) so maybe you can understand. My frustration is not just with the awful grammar, but with the ode that is "Paradise". Can you not detect even the slightest bit of weediness and the pathetic whiny disposition that for me absolutely overwhelms the song? Maybe you consider it a beautiful metaphorical piece of sympathy, and that is entirely acceptable. But please, don't accuse me of not understanding figurative language. I understand this song, but I despise the lugubrious clumsiness with which they craft their lyrics which are to me, insipid.
Remember that at the end of the day, I am only an angry, irritable English snob on the internet whose opinion doesn't affect yours, so don't let me ruin your day.
NOTE: this only applies to YorkeDaddy.
