Ciel errant
Alcest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En ouvrant les yeux le matin
Aussitôt la peine m'emplit
Mais parfois je ne ressens rien
Ou juste le vif sentiement
De ne pas être d'ici...
J'aime alors contempler le ciel
Avoir l'impression de m'envoler
vers les nuages qui passent puis s'effacent
Dans le bleu d'une mer sans fin





Overall Meaning

These lyrics in Alcest's song Ciel errant describe the emotions of the singer upon waking up in the morning. They are immediately filled with sorrow, but sometimes they feel nothing at all or just the strong feeling of not belonging in this world. The singer goes on to explain that at these times, they enjoy looking up at the sky and feeling like they are flying amongst the passing clouds. The clouds eventually disappear into the infinite blue sky.


The lyrics seem to depict a sense of detachment from the world and a longing for something more. The singer finds comfort in the beauty of nature and the vastness of the sky. This could represent a desire to escape reality or to find a deeper meaning in life.


The use of descriptive language creates a powerful image of the sky and its endless possibilities. The repetition of the phrase "Dans le bleu d'une mer sans fin" creates a sense of calm and peace, as if the singer has found solace in the limitless nature of the sky.

Gökyüzünü Dolaşmak

Sabahları gözlerimi açtığımda
Bir anda huzursuzluk kaplar içimi
Ama bazen hiçbir şey hissetmiyorum
Ya da sadece güçlü bir baş dönmesi
Buralardan olmadığım için...
Bu yüzden gökyüzünü seyretmeyi seviyorum
Uçuyormuş gibi hissetmek için
Geçip giden ve kaybolan bulutlara doğru
Sonu olmayan bir denizin mavisinde

Esta canción es ese rayo de esperanza que necesito en los tiempos difíciles, grande Alcest!

Ema Vigne

Siempre vuelvo a esta canción y recuerdo cuando la descubrí, y las tardes que pasé mirando el atardecer escuchándola. Disfrutando de la vida y lo pequeños que somos en este universo. La mejor canción para mí. Sin dudas

Kinda Nihil

Bonitas palabras.

Não há palavras para descrever a beleza das obras do Neige, tão profundas,tão melancólicas, é como viajar a lugares que voçê nunca visitou antes mas que de alguma se sente como vindo de lá. Mais que uma música uma obra a ser admirada pelos ouvidos e por todos os outros sentidos.

Vinícius Oliveira

Esse álbum é uma viagem para o interior de nosso próprio ser. Infância, juventude, vida adulta, velhice, e morte. Passar por todas essas fases, sentí-las, e entendê-las, como parte de um todo que nos é único em suas particularidades, e que essas particularidades constituem nosso ser.

I come here whenever I feel sad.
Thanks Neige; this will always make me smile, even if the world's falling apart

i'm sick of y'all mufuckas

Me da tanta nostalgia por esos años pasados que no volverán a repetirse. Sigue transmitiendo lo mismo esta canción a pesar del tiempo que ha pasado.

ego dormio, sed cor meum vigilat

Alcest may be the most perfect band I've ever encountered.
