Penser l'impossible
[THEATRE] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Encore
Nos idées que l'on tord
Étranglées dès l'aurore
Et nos rêves
Que l'on crève
Sans un remord

Toujours
(de tes fers)
Leurs valeurs qui ont court
(courber la tête)
Les gardiens de leur tour
(tour d'ivoire)
Indécents
(sans nous voir)
Ils sont
Devenus sourds

[Refrain]:
Penser l'impossible avant tout
Brûler nos prisons dorées
Oser l'utopie jusqu'au bout
Seuls les fous nous ont fait avancer

Encore
(à genoux)
La censure pour des corps
(corde à nos cous)
Nos esprits qu'ils essorent
(sortilèges)
ils nous piègent
(privilèges)
Au nom des
Camisoles

[Refrain]

Ils nous ont promis des jours faciles
Pauvres imbéciles
Ils nous ont permis des vies dociles
Sans douce folie, sans poésie
L'ennui au fil des nuits sans fin
Fit de nous de joyeux pantins

[Refrain]
(Avancer)

Tout désirer
Rêves adorés
oser l'utopie jusqu'au bout




(jusqu'au bout)
Seuls les fous nous ont fait avancer

Overall Meaning

The song "Penser l'impossible" by [theatre] is a call to break free from societal norms and limitations, and to dare to dream beyond what is deemed realistic or practical. The lyrics highlight the oppression of ideas and dreams, as they are often suffocated and silenced by those in power. This is reflected through the imagery of "strangled ideas" and "dreams that are killed without remorse." The song invokes a feeling of frustration towards the "guardians of their towers," who are indifferent to the struggles of those who aspire to think differently and challenge the status quo.


The chorus of the song is a call to action, urging listeners to think beyond what is presented to them and to envision a future that is not bound by the constraints of the present. The lyrics assert that it is only through the madness of those who dare to dream that progress is made, and that complacency only leads to a stagnant existence. The song encourages listeners to embrace the unknown, despite the challenges that may arise, because it is only through taking risks that true change can occur.
