Elysian Fields Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He thinks he'll get what he needs there
Sirens hide under each crack and wicked scar
They even made him a superstar
Someday you will wear a noble crown
And only you'll need to feel it
We're not letting this humble ship go down
We just need to steer it
My prayer
Don't give in out there
Holding fast to my jungle conqueror
Lucky hand don't desert me now
If you ever need a parachute
You can fall free with me baby
And I burn it, I keep repeating it
My prayer
Don't give in out there
The lyrics of Elysian Fields's song "Parachute" seem to be about a warning of some sort, possibly about the dangers of becoming too famous or losing oneself in the process. The mention of sirens and scars suggests that the singer may have already experienced hardships or difficult situations. Despite this, the singer is hopeful for the future, imagining themselves wearing a noble crown someday. They seem determined to not let their "humble ship" go down and instead want to steer it to safety. The repetition of "I burn it, I keep repeating it, my prayer" adds a sense of urgency to the lyrics, as if the singer is desperately trying to keep themselves on track.
The chorus of the song provides a sense of comfort and reassurance, with the singer offering to be a parachute for someone in need. The idea of falling and needing a parachute could represent a time of crisis or vulnerability, and the singer is offering to be a safety net for whomever may require it. Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the struggles of fame and the importance of keeping oneself grounded and humble, as well as offering support to others who may be in need.
