Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She sees the light and it's saying come back
She's out the door but she hasn't left yet
And I start believing her when she says that
The city's gonna save her
Love don't leave her
I know just what she's looking for
A picture that keeps fading more
But I can't let it go
That's why I'm telling her
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
She wears a gold cross
She sheds her skin but it never comes off
She hears the angels out on the streets at night
As she walks right by
Oh they sing so softly they sing
Oh, love's right behind you, oh
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But they city doesn't talk
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you've got
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk, oh
Oh she floats off
Through a crowded room
She remember the rows and rows of houses
And the streetlights going home
That's why I'm telling her
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
Oh, love's right behind you
The song "White Dress" by Parachute seems to tell the story of a girl who is searching for something that she cannot find. The song starts with a description of her wearing a white dress and looking as though she is about to leave, but she still hears a voice telling her to come back to the light. Even though she may be physically trying to leave, there's a part of her that's not quite ready to go. When she comes to the city, she believes it will save her and lead her to what she's looking for, but in the end, the city doesn't offer her what she needs, and she remains lost. The song then switches to the perspective of the singer who tells the girl that he wants to love her more than anything she's searching for, and the love she needs is right behind her.
The repeated references to the white dress seem to represent purity and innocence, something the girl possesses or wants to have. The gold cross she wears could symbolize her faith, which is why she hears the angels singing, and when the singer tells her he wants to love her more, he means that he wants to love her more than her faith, or her search for meaning. The lines "She found it in the city, but the city doesn't talk" suggest that she may have found temporary distractions or pleasures in the city, but it can't offer her the kind of love and fulfillment she desires. The last verse describes her floating off through a crowded room, remembering the rows of houses and streetlights going home, perhaps symbolizing her longing to return to the simple life she once had or a feeling of being lost in a city that never stops moving.
Overall, the song seems to be about the search for true love and meaning in life, represented by the girl in the white dress, who finds herself lost in the distractions of the city.
