Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not your France
Got two left feet
But i like to dance
With you yeah you
Yeah mostly you
With you yeah you
Yeah mostly you
Safe and sound
Tryna play it cool
I act a fool
When I find a paradise
Give it all to you
Yeah you
Yeah you
All to you
Hold me down
Safe and sound
Tryna play it cool
I act a fool
I fell asleep at quarter to five
She didn't sleep cause she knows I'm alright
I only talk to the back of your head
I tolerate the monsters underneath my bed
I fell asleep at quarter to five
She didn't sleep cause she knows I'm alright
I only talk to the back of your head
I tolerate the monsters underneath my bed
I'm not your silver
I'm not your gold
I'll gamble for it
But for you I fold
For you yeah you
Yeah mostly you
For you yeah you
Yeah mostly you
Keep me quite
Let's lead the riots
Play it cool
Then act a fool
When I find that paradise
Give it all to you
To you yeah you
All to you
Hold me down
Safe and sound
Play it cool
I act a fool
I fell asleep at quarter to five
She didn't sleep cause she knows I'm alright
I only talk to the back of your head
I tolerate the monsters underneath my bed
I only call when I'm feeling alone
All I know is that I'm waiting by the phone
I only call when I'm feeling alone
All I know is that I'm waiting by the phone
Yeah you
Yeah you
All to you
Hold me down
Safe and sound
Tryna play it cool
I act a fool
The song "Paris" by HoneyWire seems to be a love ballad about a person who is willing to give their all to their loved one. The lyrics express that the singer is not fancy or rich, but they desire to dance with their partner, who they seem to hold in high regard. They express how comfortable they feel in their partner's company, so much so that they can tolerate sleeping amidst monsters under their bed. The person promises to give everything to their partner when they find "paradise," which seems to be a metaphor for the perfect moment or situation. The lyrics also suggest that the person struggles to communicate with their partner fully, only talking to the back of their head, which can be interpreted as them fearing vulnerability or not knowing how to let their guard down entirely.
The song's chorus, which repeats several times, shows the artist's dedication to their partner. The bridge of the song features the singer admitting to waiting by the phone until their partner calls, indicating that they have a strong desire to hear from their loved one.
Overall, the song expresses a willingness to give oneself entirely to another person while also confessing insecurities and struggles in communication. The artist seems to use the metaphor of "paradise" to describe the ultimate goal of their relationship, which is to be with their partner and make them happy.
