Barcelona
Plastiscines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til somebody finds there's something wrong
Now four seasons have passed, buried at last
And covered in ash our love is gone
Say whatever you want but the beat goes on
It's better for us to stay away
Wait, I have enough faith, courage and strength
Let's dance, let's get down in Barcelona
I like romancing but I don't wanna
Let's get down in Barcelona
Tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow
Now just like before we're both on the floor
And we will get out of this another time
And as we're shaking hands we understand
You go your way and I go mine
Let's dance, let's get down in Barcelona
I like romancing but I don't wanna
Let's get down in Barcelona
Tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow
Let's get down in Barcelona
I like romancing but I don't wanna
Let's get down in Barcelona
Tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow
Falling down and falling down
Touch the ground, touch the ground
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
Falling down and falling down
Touch the ground, touch the ground
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
Falling down and falling down
Touch the ground, touch the ground
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
Falling down and falling down
Touch the ground, touch the ground
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
Let's get down in Barcelona
I like romancing but I don't wanna
Let's get down in Barcelona
Tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow
Let's get down in Barcelona
I like romancing but I don't wanna
Let's get down in Barcelona
Tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow
Let's get down in Barcelona
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
Let's get down in Barcelona
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
Falling down and falling down
Touch the ground, touch the ground
Going mad, going mad
Not too bad, not too bad
The song "Barcelona" by Plastiscines is about moving on from a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest that the relationship has been over for a while but the couple has been in denial. The singer acknowledges that they could try again with someone else, but ultimately, it won't work out because they are not meant to be together. Instead, the singer suggests that they embrace the present moment and let loose in Barcelona, dancing like there's no tomorrow. The singer has faith in their ability to move on from the past and meditate on their feelings.
The repetition of the lines "Falling down and falling down, touch the ground, touch the ground, going mad, going mad, not too bad, not too bad" suggests a feeling of being lost or out of control, but ultimately, not feeling too distressed about it. The chorus, "Let's get down in Barcelona, I like romancing but I don't wanna, tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow" reinforces the theme of living in the moment and enjoying life without thinking too much about the future.
Overall, "Barcelona" is a catchy, upbeat song about letting go of the past and embracing the present. It encourages the listener to dance and have fun, even if things aren't going according to plan.
Line by Line Meaning
You can use anyone but it won't be long
Your actions may affect others, and even if you try to avoid it, the consequences will catch up soon
Til somebody finds there's something wrong
One day, someone will notice that something is off
Now four seasons have passed, buried at last
A significant amount of time has gone by, and the relationship is over and done with
And covered in ash our love is gone
The once passionate and fiery love has now fizzled out and left behind a trail of hurt and pain
Say whatever you want but the beat goes on
Despite the situation, life keeps moving forward
It's better for us to stay away
It's better to have some distance
Wait, I have enough faith, courage and strength
The singer has the strength and courage to move on
Just to move on and meditate
The artist is committed to moving forward and focusing on self-improvement
Let's dance, let's get down in Barcelona
Let's enjoy the moment and live life to the fullest
I like romancing but I don't wanna
The artist enjoys romance, but doesn't want to go through the pain of a failed relationship again
Tonight we're dancing like no tomorrow
Embrace the moment and enjoy it to the fullest because tomorrow is not guaranteed
Now just like before we're both on the floor
The artist and the other person are in the same situation they have been in before
And we will get out of this another time
They have been here before and will move on from it again
And as we're shaking hands we understand
They both acknowledge that it's time to move on
You go your way and I go mine
It's time for them to go their separate ways
Falling down and falling down
Things are not going well and are getting worse
Touch the ground, touch the ground
They are feeling grounded and weighed down by their problems
Going mad, going mad
Feeling overwhelmed and losing control
Not too bad, not too bad
Despite everything going on, they are hanging in there

London Bones
Sammy Unwin Until their guitarist left. Now it's generic pop boredom.
Venus Axe
+London Bones Didn't their drummer leave too?! Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the direction they went in for their third album. I don't hate that synth style all the time but it's boring the heck out of me. I still support them, but I prefer their older stuff.
Felipe Fernandes
i love that their style is getting a comeback in fashion
