She
Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been kicked around
But she takes it all for me
And I lost my faith
In my darkest days
But she makes me want to believe
They call her love, love, love, love, love
She is love
And she is all I need
She's all I need
Well I had my ways
They were all in vain
And she waited patiently
It was all the same
All my pride and shame
But she put me on my feet
They call her love, love, love, love, love
They call her love, love, love, love, love
She is love
And she is all I need
She is love
And she is all I need
She is love
And she is all I need
In Parachute's song "She," the singer struggles to express his feelings for the woman he loves. He acknowledges that while he is usually comfortable speaking his mind and trusting his instincts, he finds himself tongue-tied when it comes to this particular woman. He admits that he's brought a stick to a gun fight and feels like he's drowning in missed opportunities, unable to save himself. He sees clearly how he sabotages himself, never following through on the things he knows he should do.
The chorus repeats "She, she is the words that I can't find. How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive?" Here, the singer is acknowledging the magnetic pull the woman has on him, even though his inability to articulate his feelings is hurting him deeply. He is simultaneously frustrated and exhilarated by the power she has over him.
The lyrics suggest that the singer may be haunted by a "devil on his shoulder" who seems to enjoy mocking him for his inability to express his feelings. The song is a poignant exploration of love and the difficulties that can arise when one person feels deeply but struggles to communicate those feelings to the other.
Line by Line Meaning
She has no problems with secrets
She is able to keep secrets easily without any issues
She knows how to keep them
She has the ability to keep secrets confidentially
She never felt the need to let them show
She does not believe in revealing secrets
And I've had no trouble with speaking
I have no problem expressing myself verbally
Or trusting my instincts
I have confidence in my own intuition
But maybe this is one that I should know
Perhaps this is a situation where I need to keep my thoughts to myself
But as I'm waiting in
As I am waiting for something
The devil on my shoulder stares
My inner demons are tempting me
Laughing at the one thing I can't get, it's what I need
I am unable to obtain the one thing that I truly desire, and it taunts me
She, she is the words that I can't find
She is the embodiment of the words I cannot seem to express
How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive
Why does the one thing that causes me pain also give me the greatest joy?
And I couldn't speak
I was unable to say what I truly felt
I couldn't breathe to save my life
I was so overwhelmed with emotions that I felt like I couldn't breathe
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
All of my opportunities are slipping away and sinking like a ship at sea
This time it's it
This is my last chance
I'll drown or make her mine
I will either fail miserably, or achieve my goal of winning her over
My vocal cords have been fighting
I am struggling to express myself accurately
My mouth likes to spite me
My own words and actions seem to be working against me
It never says the words that come to mind
I am struggling to articulate my true feelings
And I brought a stick to a gun fight
I am ill-prepared and outmatched in this situation
And I'm stuck with my tongue tied
I am unable to express myself properly
I run, but I can't hide what's always there
I am trying to avoid my feelings, but they continue to be present
I can see these things I do
I am aware of my own actions
And never seem to follow through
But I struggle to actually put my plans into action
