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.

The band's members, Will Anderson, Kit French, Alex Hargrave, Johnny Stubblefield, and Nate McFarland, have been touring for the past two years and have shared the stage with the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift among others. After a few label changes, the band released their last album (self titled) May 10,2019.

You and Me
Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick the lock and cut the phone,
Keep your head up love,
Ain't nobody who can stop us.
Grab the bags when sirens call,
We're out the window through the yard,
Keep it locked up tight,
Ain't nobody who can stop us.
Baby I've had the same dream,
Where I wake up
Wondering what it really means
If the world came running down
If it was
You and me against the world
Baby they cut us under but well take whatever we want
If it was
You and me against the world
You keep the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run
Oh
They'll come running through the door,
Shattered glass across the floor.
Oh they think they know but we both know they don't.
Oh we did our crime and got away,
We stole the gold and made the day,
And we're both smiling
Oh they're saying
Ain't nobody who can stop us.
Baby I've had the same dream,
Where I'd wake up
Wondering what it really means,
If the world came running down.
If it was
You and me against the world
Baby they cut us under but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was
You and me against the world
You keep the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
Oh I keep waking up in an empty bed,
And it's reminding me of all the things I should have said,
And all we could have had.
If it was you and me against the world.
Baby they cut us under, but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world.
You keep the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
If it was you and me.
Baby they got our number, but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me.
You get the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
You get the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
It's you and me against the world.
The lyrics of Parachute’s song You and Me may evoke the impression of the lovers being partners in crime, seemingly engaged in activities that require them to hold guns, pick locks, cut phones, and grab bags when sirens call. However, the interpretation of the song can vary, and some would alternatively view it from a less literal perspective. The song may represent the idea of being in a relationship that has overcome tough situations and has survived against all odds, mainly when external forces try to separate the couple. The lyrics portray the love interest as a powerful ally, someone who the singer can depend on and face the challenges that come their way. The singer’s voice, combined with the upbeat rhythm and optimistic-sounding melody, reinforces the idea that the couple will overcome the obstacles and come out on top, together.
The song's opening line, "Hold my gun and watch the door" suggests that the couple is immersed in some form of criminal activity. Still, the remainder of the lyrics provides a contrast to the literal interpretation, indicating a metaphorical and symbolic meaning rather than one of actual danger. The phrase "Ain't nobody who can stop us" hints that they are in a relationship that will endure the external pressures from society or the constraints of their own personalities.
The song reflects upon how the couple would feel if they were in a scenario where the world turned against them, and it was only the two of them left. They would stick by each other and keep fighting against whatever obstacle comes their way. The lyrics suggest that they feel as though their love is strong enough to overcome anything and that they will never give up on each other.
Line by Line Meaning
Hold my gun and watch the door,
You protect us while I get us through the locked door with my tools.
Pick the lock and cut the phone,
I disable the communication and open the door without a key.
Keep your head up love,
Stay positive and focused on our mission, my love.
Ain't nobody who can stop us.
No one can prevent us from achieving our goals together.
Grab the bags when sirens call,
When the alarms sound, we take our belongings and disappear immediately.
We're out the window through the yard,
We escape through a window and run through the garden to flee the scene.
Keep it locked up tight,
Ensure that our secret is safe and secure, my love.
Baby I've had the same dream,
I've been dreaming of this scenario.
Where I wake up
In this dream, I am always waking up.
Wondering what it really means
I'm trying to decipher what the dream means in reality.
If the world came running down
If something catastrophic happened in the world.
If it was
In this hypothetical situation.
You and me against the world
We would face the situation together, as a team.
Baby they cut us under but well take whatever we want
Even if others try to sabotage us, we will still take what we want.
You keep the car, I'll get the cash,
We divide the tasks to maximize efficiency and success.
We'll take the money and run
We will seize the opportunity and leave immediately.
Oh they think they know but we both know they don't.
Others believe they know what we're capable of, but only we have the true knowledge.
Oh we did our crime and got away,
We broke the law and escaped punishment.
We stole the gold and made the day,
We successfully took what we wanted and had a satisfying outcome.
And we're both smiling
We're both happy with the successful outcome.
Oh they're saying
Other people are talking about us.
Oh I keep waking up in an empty bed,
I wake up alone and regretful.
And it's reminding me of all the things I should have said,
I am reminded of opportunities I missed to express myself.
And all we could have had.
I regret missed opportunities between us.
If it was you and me.
If we were in this together.
Baby they got our number, but we'll take whatever we want.
Others may be aware of our actions, but we will still take what we want.
You get the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
We'll seize the opportunity and do what we need to do to get what we want.
It's you and me against the world.
We're in this together no matter what the world throws at us.
