Coup de corps
Aude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Presqu'infidele
Saigne nos accords
Dans la querelle
Mieux vaut te taire
Que faire des maux
Point innocent
Et bien souvent tu le sais
Tres consentant
Tes doux elans
Sont névrosés
Trop enivrants
Pour m'épargner
Mieux vaut te taire
Que faire des maux
Des larmes, du vent
Tres émouvant
Mais si souvent tu le sais
Tres consentant
Mieux vaut te taire
Que faire des maux
Des larmes, du vent
Tres émouvant
Mais si souvent tu le sais
Tres consentant
Tu le sais bien
Maintenant à tout jamais
The lyrics of Aude's song "Coup de corps" explore the complex emotions and struggles involved in an almost unfaithful relationship. The phrase "coup de corps" (literally meaning "body blow") refers to the physical attraction between the two individuals, which is almost unfaithful and jeopardizes their relationship. The next line, "saigne nos accords dans la querelle," suggests that this attraction or temptation is causing tension and disagreement, and threatening the stability of the relationship.
The chorus, "Mieux vaut te taire que faire des maux," translates to "It's better to keep quiet than to cause harm." This hints at the internal conflict within the individual as they struggle to resist the temptation and avoid causing harm to their partner. The lines "tes doux elans sont névrosés, trop enivrants pour m'épargner" suggest that although the attraction is intense and exciting, it is also overwhelming and potentially destructive.
The last verse, "Des larmes, du vent tres émouvant mais si souvent tu le sais tres consentant, tu le sais bien maintenant a tout jamais," suggests that tears and promises are often empty and meaningless in this situation, and that the individual involved knows that they are partly to blame for the attraction and temptation they feel. The final line, "Tu le sais bien maintenant a tout jamais," implies that this experience has taught the individual a valuable lesson about the dangers of temptation and the importance of being honest and faithful in relationships.
