Tombée de haut
Camélia Jordana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je suis tombée de haut
j´ai glissé de tes yeux
comme une larme de croco
comme un crash silencieux
J´suis tombée de haut

J´suis tombée des nues
De tes bras et partout

J´te cherche dans la rue
Dis moi ou c´est qu´t´es ou
J´suis tombée de nous

J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne

D´ici j´vois pas la terre
J´te guette par les hublots
C´est tout blanc et je te perd
Vrai y´a personne la haut
J´suis tombée trop tot

J´traverse tous les vents
J´pavane dans les alizés
J´fais celle qui,J ´fais semblant
Et j´ t´attends a l´arrivée
J´suis tombée de haut

J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne

J´suis tombée de haut
J´ai glissé de tes yeux
Mhm
Comme une larme de croco
Comme un crash silencieux
Mhm

J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne

J´déconne, j´déconne
J´déconne, j´déconne

Overall Meaning

This song talks about falling hard from a relationship and trying to cope with the emotions that come with it. The first verse talks about falling from the person's eyes and how it was a silent crash. The second verse talks about searching for the person and not being able to find them. The singer feels lost and stranded in the relationship without the other person.

The chorus repeats the phrase "I fell from high" and the singer constantly jokes (J´déconne) about the situation, trying to hide her pain and pretending that everything is fine. She also mentions that she is flying high up in the sky, looking for the person she misses, but sees no one.

The song is a mix of emotions, from sadness to anger to joking around to pretending that everything is fine. It is a powerful representation of a broken heart and the struggle of trying to move on.
