Denyse Tontz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pencil sharp, paper thin
How to put this?
where to start, to begin
What would I say, to somehow explain?
In the darkness
there's an exit, there's a way
you're the candle
what would I do?
I'm lost without you.
I, I'll be right by your side
when the clouds are coming by
I'll be your silver line
and you always know just what to do
when I think I'm falling through
you're my parachute.
Read me easy
I'm a textbook you've aced
somehow you see
through the wit and lack of grace
don't ever stop
you're all I've got.
I, I'll be right by your side
when the clouds are coming by
I'll be your silver line
and you always know just what to do
when I think I'm falling through
you're my parachute.
So he's the craving you deserve
Don't maybe little know it do
For everything your looking after
I look after you.
I, I'll be right by your side
I, I'll be right by your side
I, I'll be right by your side
when the clouds are coming by
I'll be your silver line
and you always know just what to do
when I think I'm falling through
you're my parachute.
When I think I'm falling through
you're my parachute
In Denyse Tontz's song Parachute, the lyrics describe someone who has been struggling to express their feelings to someone they care about. They have been jotting down notes on pages, trying to find the right words to explain their emotions. The person they are writing about serves as their source of hope and a way out of their darkness, similar to a candle that provides light in a dark room. The singer expresses their reliance on this person by saying that they are lost without them. Despite the difficulty in expressing their emotions, they believe that the person they care about understands them completely and is the solution to their problems, like a parachute that eases a fall.
In the second verse, the singer explains that even in their complexity, the person they care about sees through their flaws and awkwardness, recognizing and accepting them for who they are. The singer acknowledges that this person is all they have and desires for them to never stop being there for them. The bridge of the song implies that the person the singer relies on is deserving of the singer's love and appreciation and highlights the importance of being there for each other in the ups and downs of life.
