I don't know the story behind this song but this made me think of how it feels recovering from depression. Warmth and life returning to me after being frozen for so long. The darkness still being there but the warmth has returned to me and now I can face that darkness, even walk through it but it can't hurt me anymore. ❤

[@alexterieur8813]

i interpret lyrics in a similar fashion. I think it’s about being scared of good things happening in your life after a very hard period of your life. Probably scared that the warmth will leave her again and leave her feeling freezing again, hence hurting her. The hope in the video comes from the fiery stage being the representation of her fully embracing that warmth and basking in it. Moral of the story: enjoy light and warmth while it’s there, you never know for how long it will be there and how long it will take for it to be returning after it leaves !

[@samanthataylor6284]

I thought of trauma too specifically with the "it's still there." People who finally start to heal from trauma still have it inside them but it becomes less overwhelming and less powerful in their lives. As someone with bipolar 2, I feel like this relates to the spell of hypomania as well where you hope to god you don't fall into a deep depression afterward "it can't know the warmth's returning." All around it's an amazing song that fits so many situations and can be an anthem for anyone struggling and finally finding some sort of comfort.

[@mayasmith3182]

It’s inspired by howls moving castle

[@Isnonofyobusiness]

I was ab*sed by my ex. After „labour“ which is for me being trapped in the relationship, „warmth“ for me is the recovery from trauma. But some people before me already commented that. Just wanted to confirm that it’s the same for me 😅

[@RoxyGuy-s7m]

For the historical record, Paris is a living legend

[@deathcap.]

It's thawing And melting the ice White goats are grazing on the mountainside It's golden Blinded by the sight Of the water Moving in the last of the light I used to think that I Was running from the night But I've been following behind The light, all this time It can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back and now, no it can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning Moving slowly, tracking laughter through the trees The sound of the safety that's evaded me The calling of the birds The warmth returns To my extremities, long dead from freezer burn Moving softly on my feet I thought it ran from me But the beckoning sunbeams Are nearly in reach Nearly in reach It can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back and now, no it can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning It can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back and now, no it can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning In the clearing I reached it With hands out like a child Lifting up to eat it I ate up all the light And it shone through my teeth And I tasted sunbeams Emanating from me From me, from me In the clearing I reached it With hands out like a child Lifting up to eat it I ate up all the light And it shone through my teeth And I tasted sunbeams Emanating from me From me, from me It can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back and now, no it can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning It can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back and now, no it can't hurt me It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning

"A child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." -African proverb

[@vanilla6326]

“It’s still there but it can’t hurt me, no the warmth’s returning” how nice of you to summarise my most recent years of recovery for me.

[@Catras_unfairly_gorgeous_smirk]

I'm sure it's not the intended message of the song, but my good god... did I just feel like I just listened to my own, inner voice singing. I never found a song that hit home as much as this one did. This is what I felt like when I first realized I was winning my battle against PTSD. It wasn't a sudden, kneejerk realization that rolled in like a victory march after a war with drums and trumpets, but much more like this. Gentler, slower, way more obscure, and accompanied by a quiet echo of the doubts that never shut up. Like a cool breeze in a summer night. You notice it, but just enough to acknowledge it's there. That was also the first time I truly, consciously realized just how utterly exhausted I was. I knew I was about to come out on the other side, but I didn't have the energy to celebrate. I was so numb from everything. Yet that sliver of hope was there now. Realizing I had lost some of my triggers, my panic attacks not being as crippling anymore. Sleep slowly came easier. Food was enjoyable again and not just a necessity to keep breathing. Years later now and I've pretty much completely stabilized and settled into a new life I love with all my heart. I'm not a fool though. I know the monster under the bed isn't asleep. But it's behaving at least, and I learned I'm the one who can make it behave. In the end that's all I really need. "It's still there, but it can't hurt me." Indeed. Thank you, Paris.

[@CherryLipstick6x3]

You write beautifully, just wanted to say that.

[@fridayweekend7775]

It’s true that the monster never really leaves but you get control back. You learn that you survive every panic attack that it always stops at some point and at least for me, that has given me so much strength. Recovery doesn’t mean the fear and pain disappears but that you grow stronger than it I truly wish you all the best on your way❤

[@Catras_unfairly_gorgeous_smirk]

@@fridayweekend7775 Exactly. I remember when my therapist was frank with me back then when I asked her if it'll ever go away. She told me no, it won't. Apparently, PTSD is not something that will ever fully go away. Even if you overcome it to the point where it goes completely dormant, it can come back at any time. The key isn't to try and beat it into a corner with all you have, but let it do what it does and learn its moves. That worked for me. That's how I'm winning. By turning the fight into a dance, and then leading the dance.

[@fridayweekend7775]

@@Catras_unfairly_gorgeous_smirk that’s a very beautiful way to phrase it, and I totally agree, my therapist told me the same thing about my panic attacks. Also I just wanted to say that I appreciate your user name.

[@jennyledesma1311]

Yes. All of this.

[@karanhdream]

The pagan aesthetics, the moon and night symbolism.. It's beautiful how Paris plays with ancient symbols of femininity to tell her stories.

[@astronomynerd___]

I agree. It's very beautiful

[@Liliana-of7ji]

Pagan worship leads to death as portrayed by the flames around her at the end. Christ is King

[@karanhdream]

@@Liliana-of7ji You do know that many christian saints are based on pagan deities right? And that the core message of Jesus is "love one another" not "hate on everything that's different".

[@Liliana-of7ji]

@@karanhdream Oh I’m not hating on anyone. And I’m not catholic. The catholic religion isn’t biblical. The Word specifically speaks against idols and to not worship any graven images but the catholic religion took that commandment out. It’s literally the second commandment but they removed it..

[@Annie-nx1nz]

I just wish I could enjoy a song without anyone relating it to any religion of any sort.

[@amazingdeovel]

OH. MY. GOD. HOW DOES PARIS EXCEED MY HIGH EXPECTATIONS EVERY SINGLE TIME WITH NO FAIL OH MY GODDDDD

[@bellawietrzak3543]

The gentleness of Paris' voice seems passive and in submission to the threat (the "it" referred to in the chorus), yet her words are powerful and completely rejecting the possibility of being overcome by it; it makes me think of someone caught in an oppressive situation that can't get out physically, but that still has the mental resilience to reject being completely consumed

[@AleishaJones-ek1mi]

This feels like Persephone coming back to the land of the living with Hekate's guidance and the joy she feels when she arrives. ❤

[@avenie6868]

Made me cry, because - to me - the refrain symbolises letting go/ healing old and deep trauma. "It can't hurt me, it's still there, but it can't hurt me - the warmth is returning" Like a hymn, a prayer, a war cry. Encouraging, empowering and absolutely "awakening" something inside oneself, similar to what Labour and The Fruits makes one feel. Thank you for this Paris, you did again - an absolute masterpiece ❤.

[@jaypewilder]

Deep visceral feels on this one Paris 😭 3:32. The look on your face screams “you broke me, but I won - I am free “

[@alexandrapalacio1105]

The moon symbolizes the divine femininity energy. As a symbol of endurance even after the darkness the moon protects that resilience spirit of women.

[@ahsoka_edits]

We don't need any more proof to know that Paris is an ancient goddess returning after many centuries

[@secondstarASMR]

i feel so comforted and empowered, and when i think about it... that's what warmth it. it comforts and it's a fire within us ❤️‍🔥

[@Ivenevertried]

This has Florence + the Machine "Big God" energy. I would love for Paris, Kiki Rockwell, and Flo to collab.

[@audreydoyle5268]

And Neomi

[@dystopianxAM]

Omg I’d sell my soul to have a collab album from these 3! I’ve loved f+tm since lungs came out when I was 18, and I discovered both Kiki and Paris a little over a year ago and now they’re all collectively my trifecta of favorite artists. They all have super otherworldly ethereal voices (and vibes+aesthetics) and would be absolutely magical together. Though they’re already absolutely magical in all their solo releases anyways! 😅

[@_starchild]

omg i thought the exact same thing as soon as i started watching/listening!!! i was looking to see if anyone had commented something about it cause i was like surely someone else would have made the connection. big god is one of my favourite songs/music videos of all time!!! and this is just as beautiful. i’m so in love with women. florence is one of my fave artists in the world and paris reminds me of her so much but she also has her own unique thing too. i can’t stop listening/watching this since it came out. it’s so god damn stunning

[@joannabanana3372]

The lyrics resonate with me so much after a long and still difficult processing of my exs affair ; the damage it did to me psychologically, the depression and anxiety it gave me and slowly realizing my own strength and happiness by leaving him working on myself and my own independence from that relationship.

[@nacht-eil]

It spoke to me so hard. Feels like when you go through something traumatic and you have PTSD, but you continue living. “It’s still there but it [the trauma] can’t hurt me [anymore] because I’ve tasted happiness and I will heal”

[@ardenclark2447]

You have done it once again, Paris. The lyricism, the artistry, the dancing, the production, I'm in love with all of it.❤

[@FernLovebond]

The dancers and choreography of your videos are phenomenal. They complement this evocative music of yours so well.

[@SabTheBean]

Oh my gosh the whole set is stunning. The way the warm light of the lanterns contrasts the cool light of the moon, and how her white dress looks almost blue and ethereal in the moonlight, which all reflects the haunting lyrics. Truly amazing

[@Nika_dv]

“We love you Paris Paloma” we all chant in unison ❤❤

[@Octoberthirtyfirst]

Feels like a fusion of AURORA, London Grammar, and Florence. LOVE IT PARIS!

[@Jo-fi4ew]

Florence as well yes!

[@m.mallecho]

This immediately made me think of living with and continuing to heal from trauma. I used to think of myself like a frozen field, so all the imagery and symbolism of the warmth and also eating light to find it emanating from inside yourself resonates so powerfully. Plus, the experiences will always be there. But at some point, they won't be able to hurt us anymore.

[@zero-gravity]

It reminds me the self soothing monologue to ourselves in life harming situations. When you need secirity but you don't have anyone but yourself to provide it.

[@Rtr551]

this song heals me on so many levels i cant begin to describe. i got out of a very abusive relationship, SA'd, and went through a major depression. i dont have money for therapy, but im slowly getting better. on some days i have to actively remind myself there are good things in this world, worth to be alive for. i dont think it will ever go away, but it will get better and this song encapsulates that so well❤ to anyone struggling, you are loved. if not by people around you, there is someone out there that will give you the value you deserve one day, you are amazing. please dont stop fighting ❤

[@VibeDaMaia]

Someone mentioned an African Proveb: "a child that doesn't receive warmth from its village will find warmth in its flames." I thought it is very powerful. Then saw that there can also be beauty in this, because this same child could become the flame itself and warm up and light up the entire village if they heal and mature into their fullest Self. ♡ May we all become our Fullest Selves.

[@itsnotaphasemom4789]

This song is so beautiful, I just want to cry. I feel this song so deeply throughout my being. You have such a way with words, you always make music that speaks to my soul.

[@diosha779]

For the last ten days, this song empowered me to shine despite my darkness. I can feel all the stars coming down to dance with me.

Thank you Paris for this art and healing us.
