Espace
Amylie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ce que tu dégages et ce que tu crois être
Et il y a beaucoup trop d’espace
De l’espace à ne jamais se trouver
À douter pour toujours du fond de vérité
De l’espace entre ce que j’ai cru et ce qui est
On croyait presque que tu ne faisais qu’un
C’était si beau, vu de loin
J’en suis presque tombée
Je croyais te lire, mais entre ce que tu es
Ce que tu dégages et ce que tu crois être
Il y a beaucoup trop d’espace
De l’espace que toi-même ne sais habiter
Que tu perds à toujours douter
À tellement te mentir, tu finis par te croire
C’était si beau, vu de loin
On croyait presque que tu ne faisais qu’un
C’était si beau, vu de loin
Un moment, j’ai même cru que c’était toi
C’était si beau, vu de loin
Mais tu n’étais pas là
C’était si beau, vu de loin
Je suis presque tombée
The lyrics of Amylie's song Espace talk about the distance between two people and the discrepancies that may exist between what they believe, what they project, and who they really are. The singer describes arriving between what someone is, what they emit, and what they think they are, and finding too much space among those elements. The singer then talks about the space that exists between what she believed about this person and what she now realizes is the truth. She expresses how this strained understanding of who the person really is has caused doubt and confusion for her.
The chorus repeats the phrase "C'était si beau, vu de loin" ("It was so beautiful from a distance"), emphasizing how things can appear ideal and complete from a distance, but upon closer inspection, the reality can be quite different. The singer talks about how she almost fell for the illusion of what she thought this person was, but the space between what he presents and who he really is has become too great. The overall message of the song seems to be about the importance of knowing oneself and being true to oneself instead of projecting false images to the world.
