Avalanches
Adrien Gallo Lyrics

In Adrien Gallo's song "Avalanches", the lyrics describe the singer's experiences with a person, likely a lover or ex-lover, and how he sees past their surface appearances and knows everything about them. The opening lines of "Tes silences, tes dessous/Je vois tout" ("Your silences, your underneath/I see everything") suggest that the singer has a deep understanding of this person's thoughts and emotions, even when they don't express them verbally. He also references their "romances" and "sales coups" ("romances" could mean either their romantic relationships or their idealizations and fantasies, while "sales coups" could mean dirty tricks or moral transgressions). These lines imply that he is aware of their past actions, both good and bad.

The chorus showcases the singer's sense of loss and confusion as he tries to navigate his relationship with this person. He feels swallowed up by "l'avalanche" ("the avalanche") - a metaphor for the overwhelming and destructive qualities of their relationship. He mentions his "nuits blanches" ("sleepless nights") and how he feels he's lost everything. The reference to being "guidé par l'écho d'un coeur qui bat" ("guided by the echo of a beating heart") suggests that he is being led by his emotions, rather than logic, and that this is causing him pain.
