Nous
Anne Sila Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nous, c'est une illusion qui meurt
D'un éclat de rire en plein cœur
Une histoire de rien du tout
Comme il en existe beaucoup
Notre amour qu'on croyait petit
A grandi quand tu es partie
Grandi comme une déchirure
Comme une blessure

Mais pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi
Pourquoi le silence?
Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi
Pourquoi ce grand vide quand je pense à nous?

C'était comme un défi au temps
Le printemps avant le printemps
Un chemin qui va n'importe où
Mais semé de roses partout
Nous, c'est une illusion qui meurt
D'un éclat de rire en plein cœur
C'est la fin du premier amour
Ma vie qui appelle au secours

Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi le silence?
Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi
Pourquoi ce grand vide quand je pense à nous?

C'est un cri arraché au ciel
Un rayon qui manque au soleil
Quatre lettres me rendent fou
Et dans ton oubli tu t'en fous
Je suis seule à nos rendez-vous
Mais parfois, dans mes rêves flous
Une voix de je ne sais où
Me parle d'espoir et de

Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi
Pourquoi le silence?
Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi
Pourquoi ce grand vide quand je pense à nous?

J'en rêve et j'en crève

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Anne Sila's song "Nous" speak about the dissolution of love and the pain that comes with it. The song explores the idea of an illusion that fades away with a burst of laughter, an insignificant story that is all too common. The love that was once believed to be small grows in magnitude once the person has left, becoming a tear, a wound.

The repeated questioning of why there is silence and emptiness when thinking about "us" reflects the confusion and longing for answers. It questions why there is a void where there was once something beautiful and meaningful. The song portrays the relationship as a challenge against time, a spring before the spring, a path that leads anywhere but is filled with roses. However, this illusion eventually crumbles, symbolizing the end of first love and the desperation of a life that needs saving.

The lyrics suggest that the silence represents a lack of communication, an absence of understanding, and a feeling of being forgotten. The singer feels alone in their meetings, left to their own thoughts. Yet, in moments of vague dreams, a voice from an unknown place speaks of hope and perseverance, offering a glimmer of possibility amidst the pain and yearning.
