“Parallel Paradox”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Staring at the [Am] mirror, a [F] parallel [G] soul,
[C] Echoes of a [Am] life, in a [F] world we [G] don’t know.
[Dm] Reflecting on the [Am] past, [F] images [G] unfold,
[C] What’s real and what’s [Am] illusion, [F] we’re left in [G] the cold.
(Chorus)
[C] We’re in a parallel [G] paradox,
[Am] Dancing on the [E] edge of the equinox,
[F] Torn between [C] dimensions, lost in [G] time’s vortex,
[C] We’re in a parallel [G] paradox, [Am] where does it [E] stop?
(Verse 2)
[C] Shadows and [Am] light, [F] intertwined in [G] the play,
[C] A flustered [Am] comparison, [F] night versus [G] day.
[Dm] We’re chasing [Am] echoes, [F] through time’s [G] hallway,
[C] In a parallel [Am] paradox, [F] we’re lost and [G] astray.
(Chorus)
[C] We’re in a parallel [G] paradox,
[Am] Dancing on the [E] edge of the equinox,
[F] Torn between [C] dimensions, lost in [G] time’s vortex,
[C] We’re in a parallel [G] paradox, [Am] where does it [E] stop?
