The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Paper Princess" by the artist "Whyzdom"

The song "Paper Princess" by Whyzdom tells the tragic story of a suppressed personality, a childhood marred by cruelty and lies.

The opening verses depict the pure and dreamy nature of the lyrical heroine. The image of flight, a bird soaring in the sky, symbolizes the thirst for freedom, the striving for beauty and purity ("clouds, so white and pure").

However, the carefree nature of childhood is destroyed by the invasion of "them" - probably adults, possibly parents or guardians, who label their cruel actions as "love" and "for her own good." They "burn her wings" of dreams, deprive the heroine of self-belief, and impose their own distorted view of the world ("teach me their lies").

The metaphor of the "Paper Princess" vividly illustrates the fragility and vulnerability of the heroine, who has become a victim of abuse. Paper tears, crumples, and burns easily - just like the soul of a child traumatized by cruelty.

Despite the pain, the heroine does not lose her ability to dream. She dances with snowflakes, plays with unicorns - images symbolizing purity, innocence, escaping into a fantasy world as a way to protect herself from the pain of reality.

The chorus is a cry from the soul, addressed to the listener, a call to see the pain behind the external fragility, to understand and accept her world ("paper wonderland"). It is a longing for empathy, warmth, and understanding, which she so lacked in her childhood.

When I was a child

I used to wish that I could fly

Like a bird from tree to tree

High above the land

Spreading my wings to feel the wind of freedom

Climbing into the clouds so white and so pure

Gently caressing my feathers and soothing my soul

But they broke into my dreams

Tearing all apart

But they burnt my wings

Pulling me down

And they shouted and they howled

To teach me their lies

I am the Paper Princess

So fragile and so sad

I have been crumbled

I've been torn by their lies

So if you take my hand

And if you dive into my eyes

I'll welcome you

In my paper wonderland

When I was alone at night I used to wish that I could dance

With the flakes of winter snow flying all around

I used to play with immaculate unicorns

Riding across the grass, the fields and the streams

Waltzing with the leaves that fall down from the weeping willows

But they told me it was love

And they did it for my own good

And they said it was my fault

Hitting me down

And they shouted and they howled

Until I endlessly cried

I am the Paper Princess

So fragile and so sad

I have been crumbled

I've been torn by their lies

So if you take my hand

And if you dive into my eyes

I'll welcome you

In my paper wonderland
