European Vegas
Mac DeMarco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think that you're the only one
Baby, listen closely
Don't let me be another one
The city's gettin' colder
The streets are turnin' into ice
So baby hold me closer
And let me stay for one more night
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
So baby, take my hand
Walkin' down the avenue
I know you wanted Paris
I guess that this'll have to do
So come on, quit your dreaming
Girl, I got the master plan
The city isn't so bad
When you're with your lover man
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas
Mac DeMarco's "European Vegas" starts with a familiar feeling of loneliness that many of us can relate to. The opening line “So you think you're lonely, you think that you're the only one” is a call to those feeling lost and alone in the world. DeMarco then steps in, asking to be the listener's number one and proclaiming that he can help them through their tough times. The song seems to be a tale of two lovers who are spending time in a cold, unfamiliar city. DeMarco sings that the streets feel like they're turning to ice and that he doesn't want the night to end.
The chorus of "European Vegas" is where the song truly comes to life. DeMarco sings "Nothing's quite the same as European Vegas" which seems to be a nod to the idea of a city that never sleeps. However, instead of focusing on the glitz and glamour, DeMarco focuses on the moments he spends with his lover, making it clear that the city is special only because of the time they spend in it. The song is a tribute to the small moments shared with someone special in a city that might seem cold and unwelcoming at first glance.
Overall, "European Vegas" is a song about loneliness, love, and finding comfort in someone else. It is a reminder that even when the world seems bleak, there is always someone who can brighten our days and make life worth living.
