Antichambre
Aude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dans le labyrinthe du chateau
Je n'en finis pas de monter de descendre
Entre ciel et tombeau
Il me traverse de lugubres lumieres
Echappées des barreaux
Et je résonne de cantiques millenaires
{Refrain:}
Est ce que je t'aime
Est ce que je t'aime encore ? {x2}
Mes pas glissent dans la salle aux flambeaux
Où de pressants personnages
Attirent mon corps dans un puissant etau
Qui me tord le visage
{au Refrain}
Un cri explose du profond de ma gorge
Qui les noie dans le noir
Ils se diluent dans des traces informes
Terrassant mon cauchemar
Quand j'ouvre les yeux encore un peu humides
Je suis contre ton corps
Et je transpire de sentiments liquides
Saoulée de vie, ivre de mort
{au Refrain}
The lyrics of "Antichambre" by Aude depict the singer's journey through a labyrinthian castle after losing her way while exiting a chamber. She finds herself endlessly ascending and descending between the sky and the tomb while being haunted by eerie lights emanating from prison bars. The hallway echoes with ancient hymns as she wanders past torchlit rooms, which are occupied by ominous figures that force her body into a powerful clamp, contorting her face. In the midst of the nightmare, the singer releases a scream from the depths of her throat, drowning out the figures in the dark as they dissolve into undefined traces, ultimately ending her torturous dream.
The chorus, "Est-ce que je t'aime / Est-ce que je t'aime encore?" translates to "Do I love you / Do I still love you?" It serves as a haunting refrain that reflects the uncertainty of the singer's emotional state towards the person she is with when she wakes up from her vivid dream.
Overall, "Antichambre" is a vivid and complex exploration of the singer's subconscious mind, depicting her insecurities about love, life, and death, as she wanders through the castle's winding paths.
