Question de peau
Ben Ricour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aucun moyen
De s'arranger
Ca colle ou rien
Quelle importance
A le décor
L'ambiance sonore
S'il y a le grain
Quand frôler suffit
Frôler la folie
J'aurai ta peau
Souvent je l'ai dit
Question de peau
C'est éternel
Exceptionnel
Ascensionnel
Je vis, je meurs
Je ressucite
Et tu demeures
Ce qui m'excite
Quand frôler suffit
Frôler la folie
J'aurai ta peau
Souvent je l'ai dit
Aucun maléfice
La magie du monde
Passe de père en fils
Jusqu'à cette seconde...
Question de peau
Aucun moyen
De s'arranger
Ca colle ou rien
Quand frôler suffit
Frôler la folie
Quand frôler suffit
Frôler la folie
Frôler la folie
Frôler la folie
The song "Question de peau" by Ben Ricour explores the intense and passionate nature of a relationship. The lyrics convey the idea that there is no way to resolve the strong attraction and connection between two people. It's described as either a perfect fit or nothing at all, emphasizing the importance of physical and emotional compatibility. The song suggests that the external factors, such as the surroundings or ambient noise, are irrelevant as long as there is a deep connection.
The phrase "Quand frôler suffit" which means "when brushing is enough" is repeated throughout the song. It implies that just the slightest touch or closeness is sufficient to ignite intense emotions and potentially push the boundaries of sanity. The line "J'aurai ta peau" translates to "I'll have your skin" and represents a possessive desire for the other person, indicating a strong attraction and longing to be physically close.
The lyrics also touch on the concept of immortality and rebirth. The lines "Je vis, je meurs, je ressuscite" which mean "I live, I die, I resurrect" reflect the cyclical nature of the relationship. Despite the ups and downs, the other person remains a constant source of excitement and stimulation.
Overall, "Question de peau" captures the intensity, complexity, and all-consuming nature of a passionate relationship, where physical and emotional connection are of paramount importance.
