Dis-le
Camille Bazbaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que des fleurs en papier
Dis-le
Des souvenirs fanés
Dis-le
Que des ombres et des cendres
Dis-le, dis-le vite
Dis-le
Dis-le
Que nos longs face à face
Dis-le
Ca m'abîme et te lasse
Dis-le, dis-le vite
Si l'air de rien
Il ne nous reste rien
Que de l'air entre nous
Et des riens du tout
Dis-le
Que des restes arrangés
Dis-le
Sur nos corps allongés
Dis-le
Plus de peaux, plus de rêves
Dis-le, dis-le vite
Dis-le
Cette maison va me tuer
Dis-le
Ces draps vont m'étouffer
Dis-le
Plus de rideaux tirés
Dis-le, dis-le vite
Si l'air de rien
Il ne nous reste rien
Que de l'air entre nous
Et des riens du tout
Dis-le
Dis le
Que des fleurs en papier
Dis le
Des souvenirs fanés
Dis le
Que des ombres et des cendres
Dis le, Dis le vite
Si l'air de rien
Il ne nous reste rien
Que de l'air entre nous
Et des airs de rien du tout
Dis-le
(Merci à Bernard pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics of Camille Bazbaz's song Dis-le, which translates to "Say it," describe a relationship that has faded away into nothingness. The singer urges their partner to acknowledge the reality of their situation - that all they have left is paper flowers, faded memories, shadows, and ashes. The relationship has lost its substance, and the two are merely going through the motions of being together, with their bodies lying next to each other like remains arranged on a table. The singer recognizes that this way of living is suffocating them and needs to be addressed, but their partner seems content to maintain the facade. The chorus repeats the idea that if they have nothing left, then it's better to say it and acknowledge the emptiness between them, rather than living in denial.
Through its simple yet poignant language, the song delivers a powerful message about the importance of honest communication in relationships. The singer acknowledges the reality of their situation and seeks to address it, but their partner seems to be avoiding the uncomfortable truth. The song highlights the idea that maintaining a facade can be detrimental to one's mental and emotional health and can ultimately cause more harm than good. Instead, it's better to be truthful and transparent, even if it means accepting a painful reality.
