Parachute
Lennon Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is like an aeroplane
Jump and then you pray
Lucky ones remain
In the clouds for days
Life is just a stage
Let's put on the best show
And let everyone know
'Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before you die
Baby don't you cry
You had to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

Love is like a hurricane
You know it's on the way
You think you can be brave
Underneath the waves
Life is just a dream
Which of us is dreaming?
And who will wake up screaming?

'Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before you die
Baby don't you cry
You had to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

'Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before you die
Baby don't you cry
You had to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

'Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before you die
Baby don't you cry




You had to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lennon Sean's song Parachute revolve around the idea of love being compared to an aeroplane, which can take you high up in the sky, but also has the potential to bring you down in a disastrous manner. The metaphorical use of the aeroplane and parachute is indicative of the unpredictability that relationships carry with them. The line "Love is like a hurricane, you know it's on the way" suggests that love can be all-consuming and powerful, which one has to face irrespective of whether they are ready for it or not.


The phrase "Cut the parachute before you die, baby, don't you cry" implies the idea that love should not be bounded by fear and that one should take risks in love. It's a call to embrace the present moment and not worry about what might happen in the future. The lyrics also hint towards the fragility and transience of life, as the line "Life is just a stage, let's put on the best show and let everyone know" conveys a sense of seizing the moment and making the most of life while one is still alive.


Overall, Parachute's lyrics suggest an introspection on the nature of love, life, and death, and how they are all interconnected. It's about embracing the wild ride of life, while acknowledging the risks that come with it, and cherishing the moments spent with the people you love.

Love is like an aero plane
사랑은 마치 비행기 같아
You jump and then you pray
뛰어내리고 나서야 기도를 하지
The lucky ones remain In the clouds for days
운이 좋은 녀석들은 구름 속에서 좀 더 떠들고 말야
If life is just a stage
만약 삶이 하나의 무대라면


Let’s put on the best show
우린 최고의 쇼를 만들고
And let everyone know
모두가 주목하게 만들자

Cause if I have to die tonight
만약 내가 오늘 밤 죽어야 한다면
I'd rather be with you
난 너와 함께 있겠어


Cut the parachute before the dive
추락하기 전에 낙하산을 끊어줘
Baby don’t you cry
그대여 울면 안돼

You have to bring me down
넌 나를 끌어내려야 하잖아
We had some fun before we hit the ground
우린 땅에 추락하기 전에 꽤 즐거운 시간을 보냈어

Love is like a hurricane
사랑은 태풍과도 같아
You know it’s on the way
그게 곧 불어닥칠 것을 알면서도
You think you can be brave Underneath the waves
그 풍파 아래에서 용감해질 수 있을거 같은 생각이 드니까
If life is just a dream
만약 삶이 그저 하나의 꿈이라면
Which of us is dreaming
우리 중 누가 꿈을 꾸고 있는 걸까
And who will wake up screaming
그리고 누가 비명을 지르며 깨어날까

Cause if I have to die tonight
만약 내가 오늘 밤 죽어야 한다면
I'd rather be with you
난 너와 함께 있겠어
Cut the parachute before the dive
추락하기 전에 낙하산을 끊어줘
Baby don’t you cry
그대여 울면 안돼
You have to bring me down
넌 나를 끌어내려야 하잖아
We had some fun before we hit the ground
우린 땅에 추락하기 전에 꽤 즐거운 시간을 보냈어

Cause if I have to die tonight
만약 내가 오늘 밤 죽어야 한다면
I'd rather be with you
난 너와 함께 있겠어
Cut the parachute before the dive
추락하기 전에 낙하산을 끊어줘
Baby don’t you cry
그대여 울면 안돼
You have to bring me down
넌 나를 끌어내려야 하잖아
We had some fun before we hit the ground
우린 땅에 추락하기 전에 꽤 즐거운 시간을 보냈어


Cause if I have to die tonight
만약 내가 오늘 밤 죽어야 한다면
I'd rather be with you
난 너와 함께 있겠어
Cut the parachute before the dive
추락하기 전에 낙하산을 끊어줘
Baby don’t you cry
그대여 울면 안돼
You have to bring me down
넌 나를 끌어내려야 하잖아
We had some fun before we hit the ground
우린 땅에 추락하기 전에 꽤 즐거운 시간을 보냈어

I saw Sean Lennon in person when he came to KC 15 years ago! It was a super small venue so it felt really intimate. It was like watching his father come back to life. Sean is AMAZING

The blending of East and West with a heavenly lilt. His voice is reflective of the silver lining of a cloud.Thank you Sean!

Red Food Dye

This is so good! One of my new favorite albums right now

Lee New

I love this song so much. Happy Birthday Sean! <3

Devery Shepardson

“Friendly Fire” is such a great album, one of the great break up albums. The story of this record is really heartbreaking. Love (or rather loss of,) betrayal and death are all central themes.
