Paul Kalkbrenner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the world below
Free falling back to earth
Like leafs of gold
When you're reaching out for love
And it's getting cold
Free falling back to earth
Oh I will be your parachute
I'll always cover you
And we'll rise above the darkest skies
I know you guide us through
When have all the things we've fallen for
I'd rather fly with you
Oh I will be your parachute
I'll always, I'll always cover you
So you thought that you would jump
To see what I would do
Free falling back to earth
I'll follow you
See you walking down the path
Of me I never knew
Ascend to beautiful life
Of all that's true
Oh I will be your parachute
I'll always cover you
And we'll rise above the darkest skies
I know you guide us through
When of all the things we're falling for
I'll rather fly with you
Oh I will be your parachute
I'll always, I'll always cover you
I'll always cover you
The song Parachute by Paul Kalkbrenner follows the metaphor of jumping out of a plane with a parachute to represent taking a risk in a relationship, with the assurance that the other person will always have your back. The lyrics describe free falling back to earth while the wind blows in your face, a feeling of vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with falling in love. The first verse compares falling to earth to a leaf of gold, while the second verse compares it to flakes of snow, both delicate and beautiful but also fleeting and ultimately falling to the ground.
The chorus is the reassuring voice of the partner jumping with you, promising to be your parachute, always covering you and guiding you through the darkest skies. The bridge shifts the focus to the person who took the leap, saying that they thought they would jump and see what the other person would do, and now they are ascending to a beautiful life of all that's true. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the comfort and safety of having someone to rely on in a relationship.
Overall, Parachute is a hopeful song about taking risks in love with the assurance that the other person will always be there to catch you.

With the wind blowing in your face
Facing the strong winds of life
And the world below
Looking down at the world below
Free falling back to earth
Falling towards the ground without control
Like leafs of gold
Falling like golden leaves from a tree
When you're reaching out for love
When you're trying to find love
And it's getting cold
When things are getting tough and unbearable
Like flakes of snow
Falling like snowflakes from the sky
Oh I will be your parachute
I will protect and save you
I'll always cover you
I'll always be there for you
And we'll rise above the darkest skies
Together, we'll overcome the deepest challenges
I know you guide us through
I trust that you'll show us the way
When have all the things we've fallen for
When we've lost everything we've tried to hold on to
I'd rather fly with you
I'd rather face the unknown with you by my side
So you thought that you would jump
You tried to test me by taking a risk
To see what I would do
To see if I would follow and support you
I'll follow you
I'll be by your side no matter what
See you walking down the path
Watching you move forward in life
Of me I never knew
Discovering new things about you
Ascend to beautiful life
Rising up to a better life
Of all that's true
To a life full of truth and authenticity

Tᴏʙɪᴀs Rɪᴇᴘᴇʀ
The kind of song that reminds me of getting bullied at school a lot, when I was young. I had a good friend that always stood up for me, pulled me through a lot of shit that I had to deal with at young age.
He was my parachute, ready to do anything without wanting anything in return.
Now, almost 30 years later, he passed away, and here I am. Now I am his parachute.
Even though you'll never read this, I'll miss you my buddy. All the silly stuff we did, everything you done for me, even if it wasn't a big thing in your eyes, it meant a lot to me.
Rest in peace. October 5th 2020.

With the wind blowing in your face and the world below
Free falling back to earth like leaves of gold
When you're reaching out for love and it's getting cold

And we'll rise above the darkest skies
I know you'll guide us through

Letra Lyrics
Parachute
Paul Kalkbrenner
Con el viento en tu cara
With the wind blowing in your face
Y el mundo de abajo
And the world below
Caída libre de regreso a la tierra
Free falling back to earth
Como hojas de oro
Like leafs of gold
Cuando buscas amor
When you're reaching out for love
Y hace frío
And it's getting cold
Caída libre de regreso a la tierra
Free falling back to earth
Como copos de nieve
Like flakes of snow
Oh seré tu paracaídas
Oh I will be your parachute
Siempre te cubriré
I'll always cover you
Y nos elevaremos sobre los cielos más oscuros
And we'll rise above the darkest skies
Sé que nos guías a través de
I know you guide us through
Cuando todas las cosas de las que nos hemos enamorado
When have all the things we've fallen for
Prefiero volar contigo
I'd rather fly with you
Oh seré tu paracaídas
Oh I will be your parachute
Yo siempre, siempre te cubriré
I'll always, I'll always cover you
Entonces pensaste que ibas a saltar
So you thought that you would jump
Para ver lo que haría
To see what I would do
Caída libre de regreso a la tierra
Free falling back to earth
te seguire
I'll follow you
Te veo caminando por el camino
See you walking down the path
De mi nunca supe
Of me I never knew
Asciende a una vida hermosa
Ascend to beautiful life
De todo lo que es verdad
Of all that's true
Oh seré tu paracaídas
Oh I will be your parachute
Siempre te cubriré
I'll always cover you
Y nos elevaremos sobre los cielos más oscuros
And we'll rise above the darkest skies
Sé que nos guías a través de
I know you guide us through
Cuando de todas las cosas de las que nos estamos enamorando
When of all the things we're falling for
Prefiero volar contigo
I'll rather fly with you
Oh seré tu paracaídas
Oh I will be your parachute
Yo siempre, siempre te cubriré
I'll always, I'll always cover you
Siempre te cubriré
I'll always cover you

Heulen und Lachen - gleichzeitig, das schafft nur Paul. Seine Musik berührt die Menschen an einem Ort, den die meisten selber gar nicht kennen. Einfach unglaublich, unglaubliche Musik und ein unglaublicher Mensch! Danke für jeden Beat Paul!

gibt wirklich kaum einen Künstler der das so schafft wie er . Das Stimmt wirklich, hab ich letztens noch bei der Autofahrt mit meinem kollegen drüber geredet als seine Musik lief
Nicole Veit
Da stimme ich 100 % zu , dieses Gefühl einfach der Wahnsinn
