From across a vast galaxy of musical taste, these three young vagabonds with Scandinavian roots have collided to form a dancefolkpopindielectronica silenced explosion. Their healthy combination of live instruments and electronic production ignite - forming moments of dance floor euphoria, stomping vocal driven breakdowns and roaming lo-fi grooves.
After an extremely successful debut EP release at the start of 2011 and a thumping live show doing the rounds in Ol' Sydney town, RÜFÜS are poised for a very big year!

Paris Collides
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waitin' for the storm to come
I'm waiting for the air to paralyse
I'm chasin' shadows every night
Waiting for a call to come
I'm waiting for an answer on the run
I'm formin' circles in my mind
Waitin' for the storm to come
Paris collides
Feel the light
Of your love across the horizon
Paris collides
Feel the light
Of your love across the horizon
I'm formin' circles in my mind
Waitin' for the storm to come
I'm waiting for the air to paralyse
Paris collides (I'm formin' circles in my mind)
Feel the light (waitin' for the storm to come)
Of your love across the horizon (I'm waiting for the air to paralyse)
Paris collides (I'm formin' circles in my mind)
Feel the light (waitin' for the storm to come)
Of your love across the horizon (I'm waiting for the air to paralyse)
The lyrics to RÜFÜS's song Paris Collides are poetic and filled with imagery that is both haunting and powerful. The song starts with the vocalist describing how he is forming circles in his mind while he is waiting for a storm to come. This could be interpreted as the singer's state of mind contemplating a tumultuous event that he knows is coming but cannot avoid. He is waiting for the air to paralyse, which suggests that he is apprehensive or anxious about what is going to happen. The line "I'm chasin' shadows every night, waiting for a call to come" could mean that the singer is chasing after something intangible, something that he believes is important, but he cannot quite identify what it is.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable part, both musically and lyrically. The lyrics "Paris collides, feel the light, of your love across the horizon" is a powerful metaphor for something that is both romantic and catastrophic. Paris is a city that is associated with love, but colliding is a violent act. The metaphor suggests that a forceful and destructive event is happening, but love can bring light and hope across the horizon.
Overall, the lyrics to Paris Collides are a reflection of the emotional and psychological state of the singer. They are open to interpretation, and each listener may have a different understanding of what the song means to them. However, what is clear is that the lyrics are a testament to the band's ability to create music that is both powerful and meaningful.
