Paris

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We knew that you had it in you
You can do anything that you want, world is an oyster, don't disappoint us
You can stand on your own two feet, you can lead me through the streets
Pave the way, so we can dream dreams, no one else can see what you made me see
Still climbing trees, tripping up over fallen leaves, but holding hands
No one else could ever understand what it's like between us
You'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
No you'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
You'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
No you'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
I don't know everything about you, would you like to spend time with me
Said you'd lend me anything, I think I'll have your company
Said you'd lend me anything, I think I'll have your company
You said you'd lend me anything, I think I'll have your company
You'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
No you'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
You'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
No you'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me
The song "Paris" by Kate Nash is a whimsical and upbeat tune that seems to be about a relationship between two people, possibly two friends. The opening lines of the song, "You've come so far, well done darling, we knew that you had it in you," suggest that one of the people has achieved something significant and the other is proud of them. It goes on to say "You can do anything that you want, world is an oyster, don't disappoint us," which further emphasizes the idea that this person has potential and should make the most of it. The second verse continues with the theme of the importance of the relationship, "Still climbing trees, tripping up over fallen leaves, but holding hands." This line suggests that the two people have been through ups and downs together but are still close and supportive of one another.
However, there is a sense of frustration or problem in the chorus, "You'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me, no you'll never listen to me." It seems that one of the people is not listening to the other, perhaps not taking their advice or opinions seriously. The last verse suggests that despite this issue, the two people still enjoy each other's company, "Said you'd lend me anything, I think I'll have your company." This line implies that the singer values their relationship with the other person, even if they don't always see eye to eye.
Overall, "Paris" seems to be a playful and nostalgic ode to a close friendship with some underlying tension. The song reflects on the past, celebrates the present, and acknowledges that relationships can have their challenges.
