We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
And I thought, “Wow, if I could take this in a shot right now
I don’t think that we could work this out”
Out on the terrace
I don’t know if it’s fair but I thought “How could I let you fall by yourself
While I’m wasted with someone else”
If we go down then we go down together
They’ll say you could do anything
They’ll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We’ll get away with everything
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
We were staying in Paris
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
You look so proud
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
Posting pictures of yourself on the Internet
Out on the terrace
We breathe in the air of this small town
On our own, cuttin’ class for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the past, we were livin’ in
If we go down then we go down together
They’ll say you could do anything
They’ll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We’ll get away with everything
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
We were staying in Paris
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are
Show them we are
Let’s show them we are better
Let’s show them we are better
If we go down
If we go down
If we go down
Escaping Reality: The Meaning Behind “Paris (LOUDPVCK Remix)”
The LOUDPVCK remix of The Chainsmokers’ “Paris” intensifies the original’s nostalgic and rebellious spirit with energetic production and electrifying drops. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of young lovers seeking freedom, using Paris both as a literal escape and a metaphor for breaking away from expectations. There’s a sense of unity in their defiance—if they fall, they fall together, unafraid of judgment. The recurring lines about proving “we are better” underscore a desire to outshine critics and cement their bond, while references to skipping class and living in the moment evoke the reckless thrill of youth. The remix’s pulsating beats elevate this story of love, risk, and youthful abandon, turning it into a powerful anthem for anyone yearning to break free.
