Que pour une vie
je veux être avec toi
uniquement avec toi
dans tes bras avec toi
à paris pour une vie
emmène moi avec toi
ne me laisse pas ici
dans tes bras à paris
rien à foutre de la vie

juste être avec toi
6h du mat'
dans un hotel paumé
complètement drogué
juste être avec toi
dans tes bras
la magie de paris
la magie d'une nuit
rien à foutre de la vie
juste être avec toi
juste dans tes bras
dans tes bras
pour une nuit
à paris

    I speak French, pretty much all this song says is 'I want to be with you, in your arms, in Paris', in a nutshell. It's not about bringing home a bottle of wine or making "your lady" scream.

    I don't find it corny, there is no such thing as corny, just people who don't appreciate things appropriately. Or people who don't understand how the person speaking feels.

    The French thing always gets to me anyways, in a good way.

    I don't know French but I think this song is about bringing home a bottle of wine and romancing your lady until she screams out in ecstasy. I am going home to romance my lady right now. She is attached to my right arm. Internet porn here I come. Just hit repeat. It will take me at least two plays to finish.

    i think it would be cuter if the lyrics simply stated that he wanted to take her to paris and hold her in his arms.

    i think the whole in french thing is kind of corny

    Thanx for the translation. I was just being vulgar and stupid which I tend to do from time to time. It is a pretty nice track...I wish it were longer.

    not too sure why he mentions paris of all places, however i do know that on the new deftones album, the last song is called "riviere", which means river in english, so i think that paris and the french language in general must mean something to chino

    My Interpretation

    when i hear this song, i envision myself sitting in a chair in the evening, tired and contemplative. my weary eyes lose focus and stare towards the floor. then a beautiful french girl enters and wraps herself around me, speaking softly these lyrics...

    ...then the song ends... cuz its only 2 minutes long...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
