Party Time
Phoenix(피닉스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna see you any more
Forget about the sun
I want my city
I want what's pretty too
Party time Party time
Take me to the place
That makes me happy
I think I'm ready too
Don't cha know my name
I knew it yesterday
We don't have much to say
Party time Party time
Party time Party time
Summertime is gone
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna see you any more
Forget about the sun
I want my city
I want what's pretty, too
Party time Party time
Party time Party time
The lyrics to Phoenix's "Party Time" suggest a reluctance to let go of the summer and the memories associated with it. The singer expresses a desire to ignore the fact that the sun has gone away and to instead focus on enjoying themselves in the present moment. However, there is also an element of sadness and perhaps even resignation to the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "I don't wanna lose you/I don't wanna see you any more" suggests that the singer may be grappling with the end of a relationship, and the mention of the city and what is pretty could be seen as a way of distracting oneself from these difficult emotions. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, which could be interpreted as a way of emphasizing the kind of hedonistic escapism that often accompanies partying.
