| Peter Bjorn and John – Paris 2004 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I've listened to this song for 2 years curious what the title meant, and I just watched a movie and everything seemed to make total sense. There is a movie called Before Sunrise about two people, an american boy and a girl from paris, who meet on a train. The boy has to fly home in the morning and they decide to be with eachother for this entire night. Ultimately they fall in love. Really amazing movie, I strongly suggest everyone to see it--100% tomatometer rating on rotten tomatoes (no bad reviews). Anyways, that movie was made in 1995, and it had a sequel that came out in 2004. It took place 9 years into the future from the original movie and shows the two that fell in love in the first movie all in one night. The movie takes place in Paris 2004, and explicitly says "Paris 2004" to introduce the movie. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/dor/objects/39630/before_sunset/videos/before_sunset-trl_wide.html There's the link to the trailer, watch for yourself. I strongly suggest going to see the movie because it's really really good and different. Not much happens, there's barely any plot, you just learn a lot about the two characters. Anyways, it really makes sense applied to this song. "Sunday morning, we'll be out on the boulevards" The couple in the first movie just walk around Vienna all day, talking and exploring. "Monday morning, we have to fly back home again" The boy's plane is leaving in the morning. "While I'm sleeping, you paint a ring on my finger with your black marker pen" One of the scenes, the boy tells the girl "If i had the choice between never seeing you again and marrying you right now I'd marry you!" "I'm all about you, you're all about me, we're all about eachother" They're conversations mostly have to do with love and the importance of having a relationship with another, what it means for eachother. "You don't have to tell, 'cause I know so well What we are all after." Specifically "what we all are after". One idea one of the characters have is that "Everything everyone does is ultimately for the sake of being loved a little more". That love is all we want as humans. "Likewise if uncertainty puts a spell on me, I have to zoom in on your laughter." They talk about the permanence of love, and how uncertainty may start to seep in, but address that they, as individuals, would fall in love with particular mannerisms. Such as... laughter. Now... that is all related to the first movie, Before Sunrise. The sequel, which I have not seen, but have read the plot summary seems to refer to the last lines. The sequel takes place 9 years later, in paris 2004, it is their first reunion since the original movie. Much like the first movie, there is another time constraint. One of them has to catch a plane again. "Wednesday morning, We sleep over and we're late again." This seems to talk about how they only have so much time again. "Let's skip breakfast, We need this precious time just to comprehend. " The time constraint makes them jump immediately into personal details. It really seems to fit so perfectly. Watch the movie and tell me wrong. Oh man, this is cool stuff. |

Swedish said what the cup of tea represents best. At least i think... but. Think of it this way. The girl would rather have a cup of tea, but to fit in with the people around her she should probaaaaably buy a line of coke. Maybe that's not what it is exactly. but i think it makes the "line of coke" not seem completely random and thrown in there. ya know? and this sticks with the theme of the song very well. so. ya know. heh. |

great contrast between men and women in my opinion. the guy likes the sex, the girl thinks its love. of course this song has meaning. the contrast is amazing imo. |

i always think it says "i just lost 100 bucks, betting it all against love" which would make much more sense than "betting it on _____ love" analyzing that.. for the sake of it. if he bet "against love" it means he didnt believe in it or thought it false or something. but since he lost the bet, that means he found love. then it goes on to say without love you have nothing. just kinda interesting . |
