Ton Image
Ben Ricour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que deviens-tu?
Mystère
Figure-toi qu'en marchant dans le froid
Tu m'es revenue
Pourquoi?
Ça m'a fait plus peur que plaisir
J'ai laissé ton souvenir
M'emporter...
Je m'étais juré de n'jamais plus laisser entrer ton image
Que j'aime ce visage
Pour qui tu te prends de venir ainsi raviver ma colère
Injuste comme hier
La vie nous prend par les sentiments
Et nos sentinelles
Surveillent
Je les vois bien se réjouir
De te voir ainsi ressurgir
J'ai laissé ton souvenir
M'emporter...
Je m'étais juré de n'jamais plus laisser entrer ton image
Que j'aime ton visage
Pour qui tu te prends de venir ainsi raviver ma colère
Injuste comme hier
Je m'étais juré de n'jamais plus laisser entrer ton image
Que j'aime ton visage
Pour qui tu te prends de venir ainsi raviver ma colère
Injuste comme hier
Je m'étais juré de n'jamais plus laisser entrer ton image
Que j'aime ton visage
Pour qui tu te prends de venir ainsi raviver ma colère
Injuste comme hier
The lyrics to Ben Ricour's song "Ton Image" explore the complexity of emotions that arise when an old love resurfaces unexpectedly. The singer reflects on how life can take us by surprise, reminding us of the unresolved feelings we may have thought were behind us. The opening lines express this sentiment, asking "Que deviens-tu?" (What have you become?) and questioning the mystery of why the person has returned in their life.
The singer admits to feeling both fear and pleasure at the return of this former lover. They acknowledge the purity and intensity of the connection they once had, and how it was something they should have cherished. However, they also confess to letting the memory of this person consume them, as indicated by the phrase "J'ai laissé ton souvenir m'emporter..." (I let your memory carry me away).
The second stanza continues the conflicting emotions, with the singer recalling their vow to never let this person's image back into their life. They express frustration and anger at the resurfacing of these feelings, criticizing the other person for stirring up their negative emotions "injuste comme hier" (unfairly like yesterday).
The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the struggle between the singer's desire to keep this person out of their life and their inability to resist the memories and emotions they bring. It speaks to the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of fully moving on from past loves.
