Paris
Antoine Malye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'est l'histoire d'un homme
Qui tombe d'un immeuble
de 50 étages.
Le mec au fur et à mesure de sa chute,
il se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer:
"Jusqu'ici tout va bien.
Jusqu'ici tout va bien.
L'important,
C'est pas la chute,




c'est l'atterrissage."

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Antoine Malye's song "Paris" are a powerful commentary on the human condition, and the way in which we cope with adversity. The song tells the story of a man who falls from a 50-story building, and as he hurtles towards the ground he repeats to himself the mantra "Jusqu'ici tout va bien" ("So far, so good"). He tries to reassure himself that everything is fine, and that the most important thing is not the fall itself, but the landing.


This message is a deeply resonant one, as it speaks to the ways in which we all try to deal with the challenges that life throws our way. It reminds us that no matter how dire our circumstances might seem, we always have the power to reframe our experience and choose our attitude. The man in the song may be falling, but his determination to focus on the positive, even in the face of imminent danger, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.


In many ways, "Paris" is a song about the power of hope in the face of adversity. It tells us that even when everything seems to be going wrong, we can always find a reason to keep going. Whether we are facing a personal crisis or a global one, we can draw strength from the knowledge that we have the power to change our perspective, to choose hope over despair, and to always keep our eyes fixed on the brightest possible future.
