Didn
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A sky blue limo rolls past me on the street outside
And I saw your face like some sort of neon dream
And of all the cars and the bars and the stars on Sunset Boulevard
I saw you and you couldn't tell me what that means
Or what I'd seen

Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away

I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming,
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming
I didn't see it coming

Well the streetlights flickered
And the hot air sighed
The conversation it stopped on a dime
A cruise missile flying into this little
Land of these naive dreams of mine
And I was told don't speak with your mouth open
But I couldn't help it cause you had chosen
As I watched that sky blue limo drive away

Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away

I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming
I didn't see it coming

A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?

A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?

A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming




I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming

Line by Line Meaning

A sky blue limo rolls past me on the street outside
While outside, a sky blue limo passed by me on the street


And I saw your face like some sort of neon dream
I caught a glimpse of your face which appeared like a bright and surreal dream


And of all the cars and the bars and the stars on Sunset Boulevard
Despite the numerous cars, bars, and stars that were present on Sunset Boulevard


I saw you and you couldn't tell me what that means Or what I'd seen
I could see you, but you weren't able to explain the significance of my observation to me


Oh but when it hit me It was not the same thing I had missed it all like tears in the rain
But when the realization came to me, it was not what I anticipated, and it felt as though I missed an opportunity, much like how tears get washed away in the rain


Finally I was seeing Everything so clearly Took what I'd been thinking And washed it away
I finally understood the situation more clearly and had to let go of my prior assumptions


I didn't see it coming I didn't see it coming I didn't see it coming, Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming I didn't see it coming
I wasn't able to anticipate or prepare for the situation that occurred


Well the streetlights flickered And the hot air sighed The conversation it stopped on a dime A cruise missile flying into this little Land of these naive dreams of mine
The streetlights flickered and the hot air seemed heavy as the conversation became abruptly halted by a sudden event that felt like a missile striking my naive dreams


And I was told don't speak with your mouth open But I couldn't help it cause you had chosen As I watched that sky blue limo drive away
I was advised to not speak with my mouth agape, but I couldn't help but feel shocked as the sky blue limo you were in drove away


A little skin A little money A little taste A little honey A little white lie But if you love it Tell me who am I to judge?
While the situation may have involved some level of skin, money, taste, honey or even deceit, if you enjoy it, then who am I to criticize or judge?


I didn't see it coming I didn't see it coming I didn't see it coming Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming I didn't see it coming
Once again, I had no way of anticipating or predicting the course of events

The fact that he brought 3 parachutes to begin with is amazing

This video alone should sufficiently prove critical thinking, high-pressure environment resistance, and ability to take on challenges on a resume or during a job interview.
