Laisse-moi partir
Art Mengo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un jour c'est sûr on les verra
Et tes reproches et mes menaces
Comme des intrus, comme des Judas
Venir parler à notre place.
Tu feras le compte de mes écarts,
Moi le bilan de notre usure,
Tu me diras qu'il est trop tard
J'te répondrai "ça me rassure" alors ...

{Refrain :}
Laisse-moi partir
Tant que je t'aime, tant que tu sais
Ce que l'amour peut devenir
Laisse-moi partir.

Un jour c'est sûr à notre insu
Viendront l'ortie et le chardon
Et le rejet sous-entendu
D'un quotidien qui tourne en rond,
Tu feras le tour de mes faiblesses,
Moi le récit de nos blessures,
Tu me diras que le temps presse
Je répondrai qu'il faut conclure alors ...





{Refrain}

Overall Meaning

The song "Laisse-moi partir" by Art Mengo is a passionate and emotional piece about the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics describe a situation where the two lovers will inevitably face a moment of reckoning where they will have to confront each other about their flaws and mistakes. The singer acknowledges that their relationship has deteriorated and they are nearing the end, but he/she asks the other person to let them go before it's too late.


The first verse talks about the impending confrontation that the couple will have to face. The singer acknowledges that they have both made mistakes and faced challenges in the relationship. The imagery used in the lyrics is striking, comparing the intrusiveness of their own reproaches and threats to the betrayal of Judas. This line carries a strong sense of bitterness and resentment towards both their own flaws and the pressure that they put on each other.


The chorus is the heart of the song, where the singer makes a plea to be allowed to leave the relationship before it is completely ruined. The wording is poignant, as the singer asks to be let go "while I still love you, while you still know what love can become." The lyrics highlight the fragile nature of love and the importance of acknowledging when it's better to move on, rather than hold on to something that is no longer working.


The second verse follows a similar pattern, describing the inevitability of the relationship's decline. The imagery this time focuses on the weeds that will grow in place of their love, and the undercurrent of rejection that seeps into their daily routine. The singer acknowledges that both partners have been hurt in the relationship, and they both know it's time to end it.


In conclusion, "Laisse-moi partir" is a moving and powerful song that captures the complexity of relationships and the fragility of love. The lyrics offer sensitivity and insight into the struggles that lovers face, as well as the importance of knowing when it's time to let go.

Je crois que tout ce que Art Mengo a pu écrire cohabite avec la perfection. Ce texte est magnifique et se glisse merveilleusement dans cette mélodie d'une douloureuse tendresse à la mélancolie addictive. Une référence.
