C.Sen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ou bien l'Espagne
Partout où je voyage
Partout où je voyage
Partout où je voyage je perds
Ou bien je gagne
Donnez-moi des boissons fortes
Et des liqueurs
Je fermerai ma porte
Je fermerai ma porte
Mais je ne fermerai pas mon coeur
Je savais bien que ce jour
cllait venir
Je ne voulais pas le croire
Je ne voulais pas le croire
Je ne voulais pas le croire
Mais il faut bientôt finir
Depuis longtemps je rêvais
D'un autre monde
D'une autre tombe je rêvais
D'une autre ronde je rêvais
Très longtemps je rêvais
Dans un autre monde
Toujours le soleil tourne
Tourne le soleil
Maintenant je me réveille
Maintenant je me réveille
Maintenant je me réveille allez
Il faut manger
Prends le train pour l'cngleterre
Ou bien l'Espagne
Partout où je voyage
Partout où je voyage
Partout où je voyage je perds
Ou bien je gagne
The lyrics to C.sen's song "Bien Ou Bien" convey a sense of wandering and searching for meaning in life. The singer talks about taking a train to different destinations like England or Spain, symbolizing a desire for exploration and escape from their current reality. They express a feeling of uncertainty and duality in their travels, acknowledging that everywhere they go, they either lose or gain something, reflecting the complexities and contradictions of life's journey.
The mention of strong drinks and liqueurs suggests a desire to numb oneself from pain or emotions, as the singer talks about closing their door but not their heart. This could be interpreted as a defense mechanism to protect themselves from getting hurt, while also acknowledging a sense of vulnerability and the need for emotional intimacy despite putting up barriers.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of inevitability and acceptance of change. The singer reflects on a looming day they knew would come but didn't want to believe in, hinting at a sense of resignation to the passage of time and the need to face difficult truths. Despite dreaming of another world or a different fate, they come to terms with the idea that everything must come to an end eventually, raising questions about mortality and the cyclical nature of life.
The repeated mentions of dreaming and waking up symbolize a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. The singer expresses a longing for a different reality and a different path, yet finds themselves coming back to the reality of the present moment. The imagery of the sun turning and the need to eat serve as reminders of the constant motion and necessities of life, urging the singer to embrace the present and find nourishment in both physical and emotional aspects. Overall, the song encapsulates a sense of restlessness, contemplation, and acceptance of the complexities of existence.
