In "parachute," Nameless Kids offers a love so reckless it becomes self-erasure, promising to crash and break bones for as long as the other needs. The parachute starts as rescue but is already gone, leaving only the image of two looking good together while one bleeds dry. There is a quiet awareness that something holds the beloved back, yet staying confined in whatever walls they choose feels easier than hate. The song aches with the hope that this willing destruction might still be right.
parachute Lyrics by Nameless Kids
If you’re scared to jump out and go
And you’re not too in for the fall
Then my parachute’s out the doorway
Take two, I don’t mind just dying
I’ll crash for as long as you want me
Break bones, I don’t mind, fuck
‘Cause you’re building me up to bury me down
Take two, I don’t mind just dying
Part of me knows it
Something ’bout us is holding you back
Tell me where to go
I wanna know ’cause
I’ll bleed my heart out dry
Might need to paint it to survive
‘Cause my parachute’s gone and two just look good on you
I hope I’m right ’cause I don’t mind just dying
I’ve had enough of being the patient kind
I ain’t too sick, but I guess I’ll stay confined
For whatever walls you wanna keep me in
But it doesn’t seem too easy for me
To hate you, I don’t mind just dying
Part of me knows it
Something ’bout us is holding you back
Tell me where to go
I wanna know ’cause
I’ll bleed my heart out dry
Might need to paint it to survive
‘Cause my parachute’s gone and two just look good on you
I hope I’m right ’cause I don’t mind just dying
I’ll bleed my heart out dry
Might need to paint it to survive
‘Cause my parachute’s gone and two just look good on you
I hope I’m right ’cause I don’t mind just dying
I’ll bleed my heart out dry (I don’t mind just dying)
Might need to paint it to survive
‘Cause my parachute’s gone and two just look good on you
I hope I’m right ’cause I don’t mind just dying
