Brooklyn
Bonjour Brumaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On devrait finir par se trouver enfin
Pour mieux se croire comme intouchables
On est parti loin de ce qui nous retient
Mais en tout cas
On est serin
Mais en tous cas
Oh Brooklyn a volé nos pas
Et moi qui te peine, un peu, beaucoup
À la folie, passionnément, plus que tout
Quand tu te démènes malgré ces vides
Malgré ce qui c'est installé entre nous
Si le hasard fait bien les choses
Laisse-moi te serrer trop fort si tu l'oses
A tant courir parmi ces dédales
On devrait finir par en trouver la cause
Mais en tout cas
On est serin
Mais en tous cas
On se souviendra que Brooklyn a volé nos pas
Oh Brooklyn a volé nos pas
(x2)
Je rentrerai bien chez moi,
Si je savais d'où je viens
Et chacun de mes pas
Me rappelle Ô combien
J'aimerai rentrer chez moi
Mais je ne sais plus ou je vais
Car Brooklyn a volé nos pas
Oh Brooklyn a volé nos pas
Brooklyn a volé nos pas
Oh Brooklyn a volé nos pas
Brooklyn a volé nos pas
(x3)
The lyrics of Bonjour Brumaire's song "Brooklyn" are about the feeling of being lost and disconnected from home while wandering through the streets of Brooklyn. The song talks about the desire to find oneself and reconnect with the person that one cares about. The first verse talks about how they should eventually find themselves while wandering through the streets, but at the same time, they have also distanced themselves from what kept them grounded. The chorus talks about how Brooklyn has taken their steps away from them, meaning that they have lost their way, and they don't know how to get back to where they were.
The second verse is directed towards someone that the singer is in love with, and it talks about how much pain they have caused them. Despite the distance that has developed between them, they still care about the person and want to reconnect if the chance arises. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of Brooklyn as a factor in their feeling of being lost. In the bridge, the singer expresses the desire to go back home but has no idea where that might be.
Overall, the song captures the feelings of disorientation, homesickness, and longing to reconnect with oneself and the person they love. The use of Brooklyn as a metaphor for feeling lost works well, and the song's melody conveys a sense of longing and melancholy.
