Paris
Love and Rebellion in Paris: A Musical Journey
Lyrics
We were staying in Paris
We were in Paris, staying there.
To get away from your parents
We went to Paris to escape your parents.
And I thought, "Wow
Expressing surprise or admiration.
If I could take this in a shot right now
If I could capture this moment.
I don't think that we could work this out"
I doubt we could resolve our issues.
Out on the terrace
On the outdoor platform.
I don't know if it's fair but I thought "How
Questioning fairness while considering the situation.
Could I let you fall by yourself
How could I abandon you?
While I'm wasted with someone else"
Feeling regret for being with someone else while neglecting you.
If we go down then we go down together
If we fail, we'll do so together.
They'll say you could do anything
People will admire your capabilities.
They'll say that I was clever
They'll praise my intelligence.
If we go down then we go down together
If we fail, we'll face consequences together.
We'll get away with everything
We'll escape punishment for our actions.
Let's show them we are better
Repeated emphasis on proving superiority.
Let's show them we are better
-Let's show them we are better
-We were staying in Paris
Reiteration of staying in Paris to escape parental influence.
To get away from your parents
Commenting on your proud appearance.
You look so proud
You seemed proud while displaying dissatisfaction with a cigarette.
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
Posting self-portraits online.
Posting pictures of yourself on the internet
Describing the setting on the terrace.
Out on the terrace
Enjoying the atmosphere of a small town.
We breathe in the air of this small town
Skipping classes for the thrill.
On our own cuttin' class for the thrill of it
Intoxication with nostalgia from our past.
Getting drunk on the past we were livin' in
Reiteration of facing consequences together.
If we go down then we go down together
-They'll say you could do anything
-They'll say that I was clever
Recognition of your capabilities.
If we go down then we go down together
Acknowledgment of my intelligence.
We'll get away with everything
Escaping punishment together.
Let's show them we are better
Repetition emphasizing proving superiority.
Let's show them we are
-Show them we are
-Let's show them we are
-Show them we are
-Let's show them we are better
-We were staying in Paris
-Let's show them we are better
-Let's show them we are
-Show them we are
-Let's show them we are
-Show them we are
-Let's show them we are better
Reiteration of facing consequences together.
If we go down then we go down together
Repeated recognition of facing consequences jointly.
They'll say you could do anything
-They'll say that I was clever
-If we go down then we go down together
-We'll get away with everything
-Let's show them we are better
Reiterating the desire to prove superiority.
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
Repeating the experience of staying in Paris.
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
-We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
-We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
-Let's show them we are better
-We were staying in Paris
-Let's show them we are better
Repeated emphasis on proving superiority.
Let's show them we are better
-If we go down
-Let's show them we are better
-If we go down
-Let's show them we are better
-If we go down
-Let's show them we are better
-Let's show them we are better
Final emphasis on demonstrating superiority.
