Détroit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien la
Le vent l'emportera
Ton message la grande ourse
L'instantanée de velours
Même s'il ne sert rien
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera
La caresse et la mitraille
Cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera
Génétique en bandoulière
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant, lui
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera
Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ceux qui peut frapper a ta porte
L'infinité du destin
On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?
Le vent l'emportera
Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun fait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera
Detroit's song Le vent nous portera is a poetic piece that speaks to the viewer's heart. The lyrics speak of the beauty of life and how one should embrace every moment of it. The song starts off with the singer saying that they're not scared of the road and that they should see it and taste it, referring to the many experiences in life that one can have. It speaks of the curves, twists, and turns that life can bring, and that everything will be okay as long as one remains optimistic. The idea of the wind carrying away all problems and pains is suggested in the line "Le vent l'emportera" which translates to "The wind will carry it away."
In the following verse, the lyrics talk about a message that is written in the stars, "La grande ourse" (The Great Bear) and "La trajectoire de la course" (The path of the race). It refers to how time ticks on, and how one should make the most of every moment even though time waits for no one. The lyrics suggest that even though some of these moments may have been fruitless and alone, "Même s'il ne sert rien" (Even if it serves no purpose), there is still some beauty in them. The refrain "Le vent l'emportera" is repeated and suggests that everything will disappear but the wind will carry it away, and that is okay.
The lyrics then speak about how someone's scent or touch can bring back memories of the past, the good and the bad. It suggests that sometimes one can be so caught up in the present that they forget where they came from, and everything that led up to now. The following line, "Ceux qui peut frapper a ta porte" (Those who can knock on your door), is followed by the question, "On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?" (We put one, what do we remember?). It speaks to the idea that life is fleeting, and that every moment is a test. It suggests that one should take risks and live in the moment because in the end, everything will disappear, and the wind will carry it away.
