Hier Soir
Alister Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

tu n'te rappelles plus très bien c'que tu as fait hier soir
tu n'te rappelles plus très bien où tu étais hier soir
tu n'te rappelles plus très bien avec qui tu étais hier soir
tu te rappelles juste que tu n'te rappelles plus ce qu'on t'avait dit

mais ce soir tu remets ça
comme toujours on te retrouvera
un lustre au bout de tes doigts
une corde dans tes poches

tu n'te rappelles plus très bien c'que tu as fait hier soir
tu as la marque du caniveau sur la joue
tu as la marque de 5 ongles juste en-dessous
tu as des traces de rouge à lèvres nulle part
apparemment tu as quelque chose a te reprocher

Mais ce soir tu remets ça
comme toujours on te retrouvera
un lustre au bout de tes doigts
une corde dans tes poches

tu t'es grillé avec tous tes amis
tu t'es grillé jusqu'en Antarctique
tu t'es grillé avec tous les établissements ayant autorisation d'servir de l'alcool après 2h du matin




tu t'es grillé ta dernière cigarette
et le lustre a tenu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alister's song Hier Soir describe a person who cannot remember what they did, where they were or who they were with the previous night. They only know that they cannot remember what they were told. The lyrics imply that the person may have engaged in some questionable or even dangerous behavior, as evidenced by the marks on their face and the fact that they feel they have something to reproach themselves for. Despite this, the person is determined to repeat their actions and seems to have a history of doing so. They are caught in a cycle of self-destructive behavior and do not seem to be able to break free from it.


The song's themes of alcohol abuse, self-destruction, and out-of-control behavior are compounded by the repetition in the lyrics. The phrase "tu n'te rappelles plus très bien" (you can't quite remember) is repeated four times, emphasizing the person's inability to recall their actions, and reinforcing the idea that their behavior is out of their control. The chorus, which repeats the lines "Mais ce soir tu remets ça, comme toujours on te retrouvera" (But tonight you'll do it again, as usual we'll find you), further emphasizes the circularity of the person's destructive behavior.
