Dans ma tête
Carrousel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je prends le temps
Le temps des rêves
De cerfs-volants
Volant le vent
La pluie qui coule
C'est cool la pluie
Et puis je vole
Survole ma vie
Et puis je vole

Dans ma tête un jour audacieux
Faire le tour de la planète
Cours derrière si tu peux
Dans ma tête avant d'être vieux
Faire le tour de la planète
J'irai où je veux

Ma vie la nuit
La nuit m’envie
La lune qui brille
Mon lit de plume
Allume l’étoile
L’étoile magique
Allume la nuit
Le jour, la vie
Allume la nuit

REFRAIN

Et quand je dors j'ai l'envie
D'être dehors, d'être en vie
Je prends le train, le train de nuit
La vie je rêve, je rêve et puis ?





REFRAIN

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "Dans ma tête" by Carrousel describes the importance of taking time for dreams, of living in the moment and flying high with the kites. The imagery of rain flowing and the singer flying over their life creates the sense of freedom, living one day at a time, without worrying too much for the future. The second verse speaks about fulfilling dreams before growing old, of daring to do audacious things like traveling around the world, "Faire le tour de la planète," living up to one's potential and not conforming to societal expectations or constraints.


The chorus "Dans ma tête, la vie est belle" ("in my head, life is beautiful") reinforces the idea of a surreal inner world of passion, inspiration and imagination, which we often forget to nurture in the hustle of everyday life. In the last verse, dreams continue to manifest in reality like a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the singer admires the shining moon and eventually switches to the night theme, admitting the envy that the night feels towards the possibilities of his/her life. The song ends with the same chorus that highlights the joys of dreaming and living fully, even if only in one's head, as it carries the potential to turn into something greater.
