Dynamite
BB Brunes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je prie pour que tout me réussisse
Car quand j'avance tout le monde s'ecarte surpris,
Ambitieux mais les jambes un peu trop flasques, je cherchais ma dynamite,
C'est là qu'elle s'est lancé, d'un coup soudain m'attrape et me fit plongé dans le vice.
Mais dynamite, dynamitez-moi.
Mais dynamite, dynamitez-moi.
Dis nous lambote, tandis un peu clash, je ne vivais plus que la nuit.
Titubant et dans la poche une flasque ville.
Ambitieux mais les jambes un peu trop flasques, je cherchais ma dynamite,
c'est là qu'un violent coup, devant me terrasse puis me fit plongé dans le vif.
Mais dynamite, dynamitez-moi
Mais dynamite, dynamitez-moi
Car cette fille là elle était vraiment impatiente, tu en avais déjà plus que pourtant,
Elle te hante et pris au piège par son apparence, en conséquence.
Prend garde à toi car tu te tiens devant: Ma dynamite, ma dynamite et moi
Ma dynamite, ma dynamite et moi
Ma dynamite, ma dynamite et moi
Ma dynamite, ma dynamite et moi
Ma dynamite, ma dynamite et moi
(Merci à MK pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics of BB Brunes's song Dynamite tell a story of a person who is ambitious but also has weaknesses, as their legs are "a little too weak". They are hoping for success and when they start to move forward, everyone is surprised. They are then approached by someone who seems to be their "dynamite", but this person leads them into a vice, causing them to lose their focus and live only for the night. Despite this, the person is still drawn to their dynamite, even though they know they should be careful.
The song seems to be about the danger of getting caught up in someone or something that can distract you from your goals and lead you down a destructive path. The use of the word "dynamite" suggests that this person or thing may be explosive or powerful, but also potentially dangerous. The lyrics also reflect the struggle of trying to balance ambition with weakness and temptation, and the difficulty of maintaining a clear path towards success.
