MarsВ also went on to explainВ that this track represents вЂњa fantasy about ParisвЂќ.В And if such is so, considering the ambiguity of the lyrics an in-depth deciphering would require the analyzer to be aware of what his current perception of the French capital entails.В But considering that this is in fact a dance song, we can deduce that said fantasy is akin to an uplifting, carefree one.ДЇurthermore, the lyrics are able to effectively relay that the vocalistвЂ™s ideal vision of Paris originated during its perceived heyday of the late 19 thВ century.В Moreover, said course which the city was set upon back in those days, even up until the dropping of this track, has never fully been realized in his eyes.ДЄnd it is songs likeВ вЂњ1901вЂќВ which reaffirm that music is in fact an audio medium, one in which a track can hit even if its lyrical content isnвЂ™t comprehensive in a generally understandable kind of way. But even with that foreknowledge in tow, the lyrics of this piece still arenвЂ™t that easy to understand.В Yet obviously, the gimmick is that the addressee, which reads like a romantic interest though not specifically so, is actually a personification of Paris.
