La fin
Bombardiers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je sens venir au loin la fin,
Brûler mon âme, noir est le vide
Qui nous sépare du lendemain.
Autour de moi, j'entends les rats,
L'hiver arrive et dans ses bras
L'horizon même semble funèbre,
Quand tout s'éteint et au matin,
Aveuglément vers le néant.
Tu sais la pluie froide est acide,
Consume et tue tous ses enfants.
Hier encore ouais j'y croyais,
Mais aujourd'hui tout a changé.
Je la vois descendre, tomber sur terre
Et irradier mon univers.
Le cancer gagne cette nuit encore,
Je sens qu'il est l'heure, j attends la mort
Venir du ciel quand dans mes veines,
Je dégueule maintenant là tout mon sang.
Au-dessus de moi, j'ai pas vu d' ange
Battre des ailes, de lumière blanche,
Quand viennent les chiens c'est déjà la fin,
La chair humaine ne vaut plus rien.
Regarde-la comme elle avance
Aveuglément vers le néant.
Tu sais la pluie froide est acide,
Consume et tue tous ses enfants.
Hier encore ouais j'y croyais,
Mais aujourd'hui tout a changé.
Je la vois descendre, tomber sur terre,
Je respire enfin mon nucléaire.
The lyrics of Bombardier's song "La fin" depict a bleak and impending sense of doom. The opening lines "Debout les morts, le cancer gagne" (Stand up, dead ones, cancer is winning) immediately set a dark tone, suggesting that the singer is surrounded by decay and death. They describe a feeling of the end closing in, as their soul burns and a void separates them from the future. As winter approaches, the atmosphere becomes even more funeral-like and everything fades into darkness.
The singer perceives an unstoppable force advancing towards nothingness, blindly heading towards annihilation. The mention of cold acid rain serves as a metaphor for an unforgiving and destructive force, consuming and killing all in its path. The lyrics also touch upon a personal transformation, where the singer acknowledges that they used to believe in something, but now everything has changed. They witness the descent of this force, falling upon the earth and irradiating their universe.
In the second verse, the cancer continues to conquer, and the singer senses that death is imminent. They await the arrival of death from the sky, as they vomit their blood. There is a sense of detachment as they mention the absence of angels and the insignificance of human flesh. The same refrain about the relentless progression towards nothingness is repeated, emphasizing the overwhelming and all-consuming nature of this impending doom.
The lyrics of "La fin" convey a sense of despair, hopelessness, and the inevitability of an end. The imagery used, such as cancer, acid rain, and the fall from grace, symbolize the destructive forces that bring about this end. It is a somber reflection on mortality and the fragility of existence.
