EVE
ADAM at Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Faire le premier pas
Naître ou n’être pas
Cette femme que tu n’attendais pas
Vois nos différences
Loin des apparats
Comme un baiser
Une arche d’alliance
Un cadeau qu’on reçoit

Si j’étais Eve
Mangerais-tu le fruit
Si j’étais Eve
Croquerais-tu la pomme
Si j’étais Eve
Celle dont tu rêves la nuit
Si j’étais Eve
Serais-tu le premier homme

A découvrir un monde
Où la terre n’est pas ronde
Où rêver à genoux
Ne suffit pas
Et graver dans l’écorce
Nos soifs et nos forces
Comme un baiser
Nos prénoms enlacés
Par l’amour qu’on se fait

Si j’étais Eve
Mangerais-tu le fruit
Si j’étais Eve
Croquerais-tu la pomme
Si j’étais Eve
Celle dont tu rêves la nuit
Si j’étais Eve
Serais-tu le premier homme

Si j’étais Eve
Saurais-tu être la somme
Si j’étais Eve
La somme de tous les hommes

Viens je suis Eve
Je t’insufflerai l’envie
Viens je suis Eve
D’être pour moi le premier homme
Viens je suis Eve
Le premier homme qui me nomme
Viens je suis Eve
Viens je suis la vie
Viens je suis Eve
Je suis la vie




Viens je suis Eve
Viens je suis Eve

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Eve" by ADAM at. The song explores the idea of taking the first step in a relationship, the emergence of a strong connection between two people, and the transformative power of love.


The opening lines, "Faire le premier pas, Naître ou n’être pas" (Taking the first step, to be or not to be) set the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of taking a risk and embracing the possibility of a new relationship.

The chorus poses the question, "Si j’étais Eve, Mangerais-tu le fruit?" (If I were Eve, would you eat the fruit?), referencing the biblical story of Adam and Eve and the temptation they faced in the Garden of Eden. Here, the reference suggests that if the singer were to offer a forbidden fruit, would the other person be willing to take the risk and embrace this newfound love. The chorus also underscores the desire and longing for the other person.


The second verse expands on the idea of discovering a new world, where things are not as they seem and where dreaming alone is not enough. The lyrics speak of leaving a mark on the world, carving their names and desires into the bark of a tree, symbolizing an enduring bond. This verse continues to emphasize the depth of their connection and the transformative power of their love.


The final verse takes on a more assertive tone, as the singer declares themselves to be Eve, offering the potential partner the opportunity to become the first man in their life. The phrase "Viens je suis Eve" (Come, I am Eve) is repeated several times, suggesting a sense of urgency and longing for the other person to embrace this love and become a part of their life.
