Kygo vs. Paramore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay, until then
We love you, we love you, and we are Paramore
Woo, hey, hey
Put those dancing shoes on
I wanna see your moves

I don't mind
Lettin' you down easy but just give it time (c'mon)

If it don't hurt now, but just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feedin' on

So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
Alright, sing it out
Hey

Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good
Bein' all alone?

Where you're from
You might be the one who's runnin' things
Well, you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See, it's easy to ignore trouble, what
When you're livin' in a bubble

So, what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you? (Oh, ah)
So, what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you, ah, hey

Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good
Bein' all alone? Alright, you help me sing this one, come on
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?

Alright, we're gonna take y'all to church, let's go

Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world, hey
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world

Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Baby, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Ain't it fun?

Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Bein' all alone?

Don't go cryin' to your mama (now to your mama)
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama (to your mama)
'Cause you're on your own (hey) in the real world (world)
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, this is the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (this is the real world)
Don't go cryin' (this is the real world) to your mama (don't go cryin')
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (alright, everybody I want you to sing it with me)
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real, you
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, sing it louder
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (alright, this time louder than never, louder than ever, go)
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (that's right, sing it for me one more time)

Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world, ah-ha, wooh, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Fun" by Kygo vs. Paramore addresses themes of individuality and growing up, as well as the humbling experience of facing the real world. The lyrics "You're not the big fish in the pond no more, you are what they're feeding on" speak to the reality that everyone eventually becomes just another person in the world, and how they are perceived by others matters more than their own self-importance.

The chorus also addresses the realization that life isn't always fun and that being alone can be good, as it allows for personal growth and independence. The lyrics "Ain't it fun, living in the real world, ain't it good, being all alone" suggest that it is important to learn to be satisfied without relying on others for validation.

Furthermore, the song also touches on the idea that people in positions of power or influence can easily avoid facing problems or the reality of the world around them. The lyrics "See it's easy to ignore trouble when you're living in a bubble" underscores this sentiment.

Overall, "Fun" is a powerful commentary on the process of growing up and facing the realities of the world around us.
