another girl's paradise
you caught me lingering
in another girl's
paradise
the way she paints
the world -
I want that in my
life
Emeralds, you should know,
are renting in her meadow
with a stroke
beauty lives
how could I resist
you are Desire
when it all is said
said and done
who can Love you and
still be standing
there's Mary calling
up a storm
can I take from you
and not keep taking
naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it all come down to
the thing one girl fears
in the night
is another girl's paradise
through twists and turns
Jasmine foxed me
in her grove
arms filled with
Honeybells, St. Michaels
Sanford Bloods
"you have come to discover
what you want"
what I want is not to
want what isn't mind
"But I am Desire"
when it all is said
sai dand done
who can Love you and
still be standing
there's Mary calling
up a storm
can I take from you
and not keep taking
naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it all come down to
thet hing one girl fears
in the night
is another
girl's
paradise
Does it all
come down to
the thing one
girl fears
in the night
is another girl
is another girl
is another girl's paradise
I think this song is about envy and desire and not wanting to be so green-eyed but not being able to help it. Everyone, no matter how successful or well-off they are, desires something and that's what drives us a lot in life. The Heaven of things and she is feeling guilty and a bit hypocritical of her wholeness when she is wanting what she cannot have and feeling bitter.
Here's Tori's description of it:
New Orleans is warm and balmy with the smell of honeysuckle in the air. But Scarlet is grappling with covetousness in ANOTHER GIRL'S PARADISE. Her travels take her through Florida and to Hawaii, before she returns to Miami. "All the time she's having a conversation with desire. And she realizes that very few of us can genuinely wish each other good in a selfless way."
-- Scarlet's Walk bio
"She's on this idea of women now. And, when I think being around all these women who have all these different kind of perceptions of each other. And you could say, some of them are intimidated by each other and some of them are envious and some of them really kind of like the other one but are afraid of being rejected so they don't know how to approach them. And there's all that going on. So busy, like bees. And uh, she makes her way into the warmth of Florida. She takes her time. She's driving now, she's on her own. And she's thinking about women, and women and women's relationships with each other and...what it brings up. And so, she sort of um, goes to the land for this one. This one place that's, where a lot of people come to soak in, to feel sensual and warm and healed and delicious. So she's in Florida, and goes to another land where people go to feel delicious. Another paradise. And she finds that there's room enough for both of them, that they're both very different. And desire is very much a part of all this. And at the end of the day, Desire will do what she does best, which is make you desire that which is not your's. She moves on to away, and then comes back to Florida. Not feeling like she needs to betray one or the other. That she can value both of them, that there's room enough for both of them. I think there's healing all along the way in different parts of this. But that's really for the reader, and the listener to sense, because it's in the music a lot of that. Those are clues that it takes you, I think, to our real feelings. The music is always the place where the clues are."
