His purpose or theme in Paradise Lost is

Paradise By Coldplay Song Analysis The song ‘Paradise’ by Coldplay is very unique and special to me in numerous ways. One of the main reasons I enjoy it so much is because there is so much room for interpretation. Anyone can have a different perspective on what it means to them.
