Je Respire Comme Tu Mens
Corson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lentement mais surement on sera tout ce qu'on deteste
Gentiment s'embrasser sur le front du bout des levres
Tu rentreras sans bruit avec sous tes ongles la peau d'un autre
Au milieu de la nuit dans mon cou par oublie le parfum d'une autre
Je respire comme tu mens,
Est ce qu'on s'ra comme ces gens qui se blessent, qui se blessent?
Tu respires comme je mens est ce qu'on laissera le temps nous defaire, nous defaire?
Lentement mais surement notre couple battera de l'aile
Nos enfants sortiront nous aussi comme toutes les semaines
Tu n'rentreras meme plus, tu traineras dans son lit, lui dira je t'aime
Je l'embrasserai dans la rue
Je te dirai que est la vie quand tu me feras des scenes
Je respire comme tu mens
Eqt ce qu'on s'ra comme ces gens qui se blessent?




Tu respires comme je mens est ce qu'on laissera le temps nous defaire
Mon amour ça casse quand on se detache est ce qu'on s'ra les memes? est ce qu'on fera pareil? Mon amour prends garde, l'amour ca fait mal quand on se promet.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Corson's song "Je respire comme tu mens" convey the theme of a deteriorating relationship filled with lies and betrayal. The verses depict a slow but certain descent into everything they despise. The lines "Gently kiss on the forehead with the tip of our lips" suggest a fading intimacy, while the next line reveals the deceitful actions of the other person, quietly returning with someone else's skin under their nails. The reference to someone's scent in the middle of the night implies a lingering reminder of an affair.


The chorus emphasizes the reciprocal nature of their deception. The line "I breathe like you lie" implies that the singer is also guilty of deceit, questioning whether they will become like those who hurt each other. The following line "You breathe like I lie, will we let time undo us?" raises doubt about the strength of their relationship and whether they will allow time to break them apart. The second verse suggests further deterioration, highlighting a couple that will eventually separate like others do every week. The singer describes the other person no longer coming home and instead spending time in someone else's bed, openly expressing love for another.


The bridge explores the consequences of their detachment, suggesting that their love will break when they detach from each other. The question arises: will they become the same and repeat the same patterns? The final plea "Be careful, my love, love hurts when we promise each other" showcases the pain that accompanies broken promises and the need for caution.


Overall, "Je respire comme tu mens" paints a picture of a relationship tainted by lies, betrayal, and the fear of becoming like those who hurt each other. It explores the inevitability of their relationship's decline and the pain that accompanies failed promises of love.
