    I think this lyric refers to a woman who gets a brazilian wax because her bf complains about the forest but then gets tatoos on there, and now her man is singing about it.

    I think this thread refers to a poster who went out and had several beers and hits off the crackpipe for lunch today! :eek: ;) :D

    If you want to look at it in a sexual way, sure.

    I see it referring to a self-centered person.

    I thought the song was just what it is. They cut off trees and paved a parking lot at UH.

    When I was on one of those bus tours around Los Angeles, the tour guide told some, probably made-up, story about there being a Golden Age of Hollywood hangout that was nicknamed "The Paradise" that was eventually razed and is now a parking lot. And, according to the random tour guide, that's where the inspiration for the song came from.

    I think he's full of crap, though.

    Especially after reading this page:
