Tous contre un
Blankass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Demain, je fermerai mes mains,
J'irai tout droit me moquer du matin.
Demain j'effacerai les chemins,
J'irai tracer le mien.
Demain, je couperais mes liens,
Demain, rien ne me retient,
Demain c'est tous contre un.
Comme un feu qui me tient…
Fermer la gueule des regrets
Et puis jeter la clé.
Quitter la vie numérotée,
Sans compter, laisser le temps couler.
Rêver quand on était gamin,
Caché comme un indien.
Trouver la carte des recoins
Et s'évanouir enfin.
Comme un feu qui me tient,
Comme un camion sans freins,
Et rien ne me retient.
Comme un feu qui me tient…
Demain, le jeu touche à sa fin,
Mal ou bien, j'inventerai le mien.
Passées les années sans été,
Demain, je veux brûler.
Cassées les mailles du filet,
Déchirés les fichiers, les papiers.
Demain, je quitte le chemin
Demain, c'est tous contre un.
Comme un feu qui me tient,
Et rien ne me retient,
Rien ne me retient.
The song "Tous contre un" by Blankass is a powerful anthem about taking control of one's life and rebelling against the constraints imposed upon us by society. The lyrics describe a longing for freedom and a desire to live life on one's own terms.
The first verse describes the singer's plans to shut out the world and go their own way. They speak of erasing the paths that have been set for them and forging their own destiny. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer cutting ties with those around them and resolving to be their own person.
The chorus of the song is upbeat and catchy, conveying a sense of excitement and determination. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to break free and live life like a raging fire or a runaway truck, with nothing holding them back.
The bridge of the song is especially poignant, with the singer talking about leaving behind the monotony of everyday life and pursuing their dreams. They long to recapture the sense of adventure and wonder they felt as children, when they could hide and explore without a care in the world.
Overall, "Tous contre un" is a deeply empowering song about taking control of one's life and living without fear. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt trapped or suffocated by the expectations of others, and encourages them to break free and pursue their dreams.
