1.) Parachute was founded as a project in 2000 in Germany, focussing on ambient, drone, experimental and space sounds, and processed music, their musical roots are resulting out of krautrock, ambient, minimal drones, and soundscapes like Thomas Köner and earlier electronic music like Morton Feldmann, Klaus Schulze, John Cage etc… Group members are c_drive and triPhaze. The official site of Parachute is at the privatelektro record label.
2.) Parachute was a solo project created in 2005 by Matthew Stevens. The Illinois based project expanded to include Emily Sobacki on Violin and Stephanie Popoca on Glockenspiel and backup vocals. Upon the discovery of a different band called Parachute (see below) the members collectively decided on a name change. The band is now known as Emblems.

What I Know
Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The white stripes blur and ease my mind
When all that's left is a single light
Instead of this confusion
And I'm not certain of the way it was
And I'm not sure what I could've done
Oh I wonder if it'd be enough
And I realize, the only thing I know is
She said I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
I stopped the car and closed my eyes
I could see her face, but it takes a while
But it makes it like the morning lights
Slow and unfocused
So I go home and
She's sitting on the kitchen chair
Oh, her suitcase waiting by the stairs
Oh they're both poured out from all the years
And they're ready to let go
And I realize, the only thing that's shown is
She said I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with someone else
She said, She fell in love with someone else
And I, she's in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
Yes, and I realized
The only thing I know is
She said, I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with someone else
She said, she fell in love with someone else
And I, she's in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
I'm in love with someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with someone else
She said, she fell in love with someone else
And I, she's in love with someone
And that's all that I know for sure
The song "What I Know" by Parachute tells the story of a guy who is struggling to come to terms with his girlfriend's decision to leave him for someone else. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of his emotions as he drives at night, trying to make sense of it all. He's consumed by confusion and wondering what he could have done differently to prevent her from leaving.
As the song progresses, he realizes that the only thing he knows for sure is that she's fallen in love with someone else. He sees her face in his mind's eye and feels the pain of the loss acutely. He returns home to find her waiting with a suitcase by the stairs, and finally accepts that their relationship is over.
The song is a poignant exploration of the human experience of heartbreak and loss. Through its vivid imagery and raw emotion, it captures the feelings of confusion, longing, and acceptance that can come with the end of a relationship.

I take the car and drive at night
I get in my car and drive in the dark
The white stripes blur and ease my mind
The lines on the road blur and calm me down
When all that's left is a single light
When there's only one light left on the road
Instead of this confusion
To avoid feeling confused
And I'm not certain of the way it was
I don't really know how things used to be
And I'm not sure what I could've done
I'm not sure what I could have done differently
Oh I wonder if it'd be enough
I wonder if I could have done enough to make her stay
To stop her from leaving
To prevent her from leaving me
And I realize, the only thing I know is
I come to the realization that the only thing I know for sure is
She said I'm in love with someone else
She told me that she loves someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
She also told me that she fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
I admit that I'm also in love with someone else
And that's all that I know for sure
And that's the only information I'm certain of
I stopped the car and closed my eyes
I parked the car and closed my eyes
I could see her face, but it takes a while
I could visualize her face, but it took some time
But it makes it like the morning lights
But it's like the light of dawn
So I go home and
So I head back to my house
She's sitting on the kitchen chair
She's sitting on a chair in the kitchen
Oh, her suitcase waiting by the stairs
Her suitcase is waiting by the stairs
Oh they're both poured out from all the years
We're both exhausted from all the years we've spent together
And they're ready to let go
And we're both willing to move on
And I realize, the only thing that's shown is
I understand that the only thing that's evident is
She said I'm in love with someone else
She told me that she loves someone else
She said, I fell in love with someone else
She also told me that she fell in love with someone else
And I, I'm in love with someone
And I admit that I'm also in love with someone else
And that's all that I know for sure
And that's the only information I'm certain of
She's in love with someone else
She's truly in love with someone else
She said, she fell in love with someone else
She told me that she also fell in love with that person
And I, she's in love with someone
And I acknowledge that she loves someone else
And that's all that I know for sure
And that's the only certain thing I'm aware of
And I'm on my knees
I'm on the ground, kneeling
And I realized
And I came to a realization

Parachute is so under rated! They are incredibly talented, not only with the music, but how skillfully they write songs! I wish more people knew about them, because they for sure have more talent than a lot of artists at the top of the charts!
