The 23-year-old singer, real name Max McElligott, was the curious creator of singles ‘Pieces Of You’ and ‘The King And All Of His Men’. Supports with Florence And The Machine, Miike Snow and Metric – as well as his own sold-out show at London’s hip White Heat night – have cemented his status as one to most definitely watch. The enigmatic artist has stamped his style across 2011’s pop expectations and is now joined by a full line-up of three permanent live members.

Having recently finished recording his debut album with Mercury Rev, MGMT and Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann, Wolf Gang represents the first UK act the prestigious collaborator has worked with in some time. Lions in Cages (Released on Atlantic Records 22 Nov) is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album, Suego Faults

Breaks In Paris
Wolf Gang Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think better
Think twice
Follow your heart
Come out tonight

And if I'm stupid
Well then you know, I was wrong to let you go

Peering through the glass I see what it could have been in two years time
What's a little distance in between
But then she said breaks in Paris weren't the reason why
Weren't the reason why

Think better
Think twice
I know you love me
Somewhere inside

And if you didn't, then would you cry
Lonely is the night

Peering through the glass I see what it could have been in two years time
What's a little distance in between
But then she said breaks in Paris weren't the reason why
Weren't the reason why

Peering through the glass I see what it could have been in two years time
What's a little distance in between
But then she said breaks in Paris weren't the reason why

Breaks in Paris
Breaks in Paris

Overall Meaning

The song Breaks In Paris by Wolf Gang is about a breakup and the uncertainty that comes with it. The lyrics encourage a person to think deeply and follow their heart. The first verse advises the listener to think better and think twice before making any decisions. The second line urges the person to trust their heart and come out tonight, indicating that the singer is hopeful for a reconciliation.

However, the chorus reveals a more vulnerable side to the singer, saying that if they end up making a mistake, they know it and regret it. The bridge continues with the theme of uncertainty, with the singer looking through a glass and wondering what could have been in two years' time. Despite this, they acknowledge that a little distance shouldn't be the reason for a breakup.

The repeated line "breaks in Paris" suggests that the relationship may have been put on hold due to a physical distance, possibly indicating that one person moved away. It speaks to the idea that some relationships can survive this type of separation, but others may falter.

Overall, the song suggests that even though breakups are difficult and painful, it's important to trust one's instincts and stay true to oneself. It acknowledges that love can be complicated and that sometimes distance can be a barrier to a healthy connection, but ultimately, it's up to the individuals involved to decide what's right for them.
