Visage
BB Brunes Lyrics

The lyrics of "Visage" by BB Brunes depict a sense of yearning and longing for someone. The opening lines, "Dans une tasse à thé j'ai bu de la bière" (In a teacup, I drank beer), set a surreal and contradictory tone, highlighting the confusion and mixed emotions the singer is experiencing. The line "Je mélange les éléments" (I mix the elements) could be interpreted as trying to make sense of the situation, trying to find a balance between different feelings and elements in their life.

The chorus, "J'ai revu ton visage / Dans tous les autres visages" (I saw your face / In all the other faces), reveals that the singer keeps seeing the face of the person they long for, even in everyone else they encounter. This repetition emphasizes the intensity of their feelings and suggests that their longing is all-consuming. The line "Je ne passerai pas l'été / À t'attendre sur le côté" (I won't spend the summer / Waiting for you on the side) shows a determination to not wait endlessly for this person, indicating a desire for independence and self-preservation.

The second verse introduces a metaphor of the singer and the other person as different modes of transportation, with the singer willing to do whatever it takes to save the relationship ("Pour me sauver je ferai l'hélicoptère" - I'll do the helicopter to save myself), while the other person remains unresponsive ("Et toi l'avion sans réaction" - And you, the airplane without reaction). This metaphorical exploration adds depth to the narrative, illustrating the imbalance and disconnect in their relationship.
