DJ Snake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep on burning, holding my head up high
'Cause I know something's coming
After this burden, they cannot stop me 'cause pain is fine
Struggle is a state of mind
I keep on walking, for something that I would die
Taking me places you'll know, but never find
Feels like a movie scene
As a kid I used to be so embarrassed
To speak up on my dreams
Now everywhere we go they hear us
You can't turn me down
Somebody please go call up my parents
Tell them I'm king now
(Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now)
Broken as dishes
I pray to my Lord for redemption
Now I'm all you seein', I'm missin'
Catch me in the sky oh, I'm lifted
I can't believe they grippin' on my clothes just to take my photo, number one
Sellin' out shows on the road, I'm the trap Bono
You gave up on me, but I can't go now, you watchin'
I can't believe I woke up in Paris
Feels like a movie scene
As a kid I used to be so embarrassed
To speak up on my dreams
Now everywhere we go they hear us
You can't turn me down
Somebody please go call up my parents
Tell them I'm king now
(Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now)
Tell them they ain't got no worries
No worries, no worries
No worries 'cause you know I made it
I made it, I made it
I made it, I woke up in Paris
The lyrics of DJ Snake's "Paris" describe the artist's journey of struggles and pain to become successful. Despite walking through the fire and feeling nothing, DJ Snake continues to hold his head up high and keeps on burning because he knows that something big is going to happen soon. Even though the burden he carries is immense, he doesn't allow it to stop him as he believes that pain is only temporary, and the struggle is a state of mind. Further, he keeps on walking to reach somewhere that he can die for, taking him to places that others may never find.
As the song progresses, DJ Snake reflects on his journey and how it led him to the city of Paris. Born in a small town, he used to feel embarrassed to speak up on his dreams. But now, wherever they go, people are listening to them, and no one can turn them down. They have come a long way, and the once unattainable dream has become a reality. He now enjoys the perks of success, such as selling out shows on the road and being famous enough for people to want to take his photo. Even though some people may have given up on him, DJ Snake refuses to back down now, and they are all watching him succeed.
The song portrays the strength and perseverance needed to succeed in the music industry. DJ Snake's journey shows that even in the face of adversity and setbacks, with determination, hard work, and a strong belief in oneself, success is possible.
Line by Line Meaning
Through the fire, walking I ain't feeling nothing, at all
I'm going through a lot, but I'm emotionally numb
I keep on burning, holding my head up high
I keep pushing through, staying strong
'Cause I know something's coming
I know success is on the horizon
After this burden, they cannot stop me 'cause pain is fine
After experiencing hardship, I cannot be stopped because I'm resilient
Struggle is a state of mind
I believe that one's mindset affects how they handle struggles
I keep on walking, for something that I would die
I keep on going for my dreams, no matter what
Taking me places you'll know, but never find
I'm going places no one has ever been before
I can't believe I woke up in Paris
I'm amazed that I've achieved my dream of success in Paris
Feels like a movie scene
It's surreal and hard to believe
As a kid I used to be so embarrassed
When I was younger, I was ashamed of my dreams
To speak up on my dreams
To voice my aspirations and desires
Now everywhere we go they hear us
We are making a mark everywhere we go
You can't turn me down
I won't be discouraged by rejection
Somebody please go call up my parents
Let my parents know that I've made it
Tell them I'm king now
Let them know I'm successful and on top
Broken as dishes
I was once broken, but now I've been made whole
I pray to my Lord for redemption
I have faith that God will redeem me
Now I'm all you seein', I'm missin'
Now I'm famous, and I miss my old life
Catch me in the sky oh, I'm lifted
I feel like I'm soaring high
I can't believe they grippin' on my clothes just to take my photo, number one
I'm surprised that people are treating me like a celebrity
Sellin' out shows on the road, I'm the trap Bono
I'm successful and selling out shows like Bono
You gave up on me, but I can't go now, you watchin'
The people who doubted me before are now watching my success
Tell them they ain't got no worries
Let them know they don't need to worry about me
No worries, no worries
Everything is good, no need to stress
No worries 'cause you know I made it
There's no need to worry because I've achieved my dreams
I made it, I made it
I've succeeded
I woke up in Paris
I'm living the life I've always dreamed of

Hanma -
@RaphI_I en quoi je joue sur les mots ? T'as littéralement dit " la pire du monde " pour au final ne la comparer qu'à Séoul, Tokyo et Rio... Et au passage t'as des bidonvilles/favelas à Rio donc ça dégage de ton podium, et ensuite la propreté de la ville, la qualité de vie etc sont justement des critères pris en compte pour le fameux classement des " world's most liveable cities " donc si pour toi être la 19e capitale la plus agréable où vivre c'est être l'une des pires et l'une des plus sale, je peux plus rien pour toi, là c'est juste de la pire mauvaise foi, et la conversation tournera en rond !

@Hanma - quel classement mdrrr ? Tu parle aléatoirement même Rio de janeiro est meilleur à vivre c'est dire
Hanma -
@RaphI_I Et encore une fois, Paris est 19e dans le classement, ça veut dire qu'il n'y a que 19 pays de développés ? Je savais pas qu'il y avait 176 pays non développés ou en voie de développement 🙄
