Lent
Autour de Lucie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dehors, je déambule
Bousculée par des gens
Qui disent qu'il faut faire vite
Ne pas perdre de temps

Lent,
Lent, Lent...
Lent, Lent...
Lent

Plus ça se précipite
et plus je prends mon temps
Car ma vitesse limite est au flux
Est au flux de mon sang

Lent,
Lent, Lent...
Lent, Lent...
Lent

No ne m'attendez pas
J'en ai pour, j'en ai pour un bon moment
Je vous ai rejoins d'ici-là,
Allez partez... allez partez devant

Lent,
Lent, Lent...
Lent, Lent...
Lent





Plus ça se précipite
et plus je prends mon temps...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Autour de Lucie's song Lent contain a message of slowing down and taking one's time in a world where people are constantly rushing around. The singer of the song is outside, walking around, and being pushed and jostled by other people who are in a hurry. However, the singer refuses to rush and insists upon taking a slower pace, despite the pressure to speed up. The repetition of the word "Lent" emphasizes this desire for slowness and is used as a mantra throughout the song.


The second verse echoes this sentiment, with the singer stating that the more things speed up around her, the more she slows down, as her limit is dictated by the pace of her own blood. This creates an interesting contrast between the fast-paced, frenzied world around her and the much slower world that the singer has chosen to inhabit.


Finally, the singer tells the other people to go ahead without her, as she will take her time and catch up eventually. The song ends with the repetition of "Lent," once again emphasizing the importance of taking things slowly and resisting the pressure to rush.


Overall, Lent is a powerful reminder to take one's time and not give into the frenetic pace of the world around us. It encourages us to listen to our own internal rhythms and to resist the pressure to constantly rush and hurry.
