Shana
Aude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Elle émerge d'une mer
Loin des sirenes
Ou poissons-lunes
Pleure l'aquareine
Sans sa lagune
Elle plonge sa memoire
Au fond d'un lacrymoire
Loin des sirenes
Ou poissons-lunes
Pleure l'aquareine
Sans sa lagune
Shana, shana
L'essaim d'etoiles au ciel
L'exile des grains de sel
Loin des sirenes
Ou poissons-lunes
Pleure l'aquareine
Sans sa lagune
Shana, Shana
Elle vole dans le silence
Sur la voie esperance
Loin des sirenes
Ou poissons-lunes
Pleure l'aquareine
Sans sa lagune
Shana, Shana
The lyrics of "Shana" tell the story of an aquatic creature, called Aquareine, who emerges from the depths of the sea in a glass vessel. Aquareine is far from the mermaids and moonfishes of her underwater world, and she mourns the loss of her lagoon. She plunges her memories deep into a "lake of tears" to escape her sadness.
The chorus of the song repeats the name "Shana," which may be an allusion to the Hebrew name meaning "God is gracious." It is possible that this name represents hope or divine intervention, which Aquareine longs for as she faces her loneliness and isolation.
The second verse describes how the stars and salt grains are exiled from their former homes, suggesting a theme of displacement and longing for a lost sense of belonging. The final verse reflects Aquareine's desire to escape the noise and chaos of the ocean and find peace in a hopeful future. Overall, the haunting melody and poetic language of "Shana" convey a sense of melancholy and hope, mingled with a longing for escape and renewal.
