Le Concert
Yann Tiersen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ils sont venus, hier
Reprendre tout ça
Toutes ces choses que nous
Gardions
Assis en bas
Je ne vois plus
Les raisons de bouger
De là
Alors, laissez-moi
Encore un peu
Tranquille
Je ne crois plus
Qu'il y ait
Pour vous
Quoique ce soit
De moi
Là.
The above lyrics are from Yann Tiersen's song "Le Concert." The lyrics are in French, and they translate to English as follows:
"That's it, nothing remains standing
They came yesterday
To take everything back
All these things we were keeping
Sitting here
I no longer see
Any reason to move
From here
So, leave me alone
A little longer
In peace
I no longer believe
That there is
Anything of me
For you."
The lyrics describe a feeling of defeat and resignation. The singer is sitting and watching as everything is taken away from them. They do not see any reason to move or to fight back. They ask to be left alone in peace, as they no longer believe that there is anything they can do to help themselves or to benefit others.
Overall, the song "Le Concert" is a melancholic and reflective piece that explores themes of loss, isolation, and the limitations of the self.
