J'En Rêve Encore
DE PALMAS GERALD Lyrics

Encore un effort
The beginning of the song sets the tone for a cry for help or a plea for something. Palmas is requesting that something be done to help him out of his predicament.

Quelques mois suffiront
Palmas is saying that all he needs is just a few more months to get out of his current predicament. He is in dire need of a reprieve from his troubles.

Je suis presque mort
With a statement like this, Palmas is saying that he is already past his breaking point. He is exhausted and feels like he is slowly dying.

Quelques mois et c'est bon
By finishing the verse with 'quelques mois et c'est bon,' Palmas is saying that if he can just hold on a little longer, he will be fine. A glimmer of hope or light at the end of the tunnel.

Supprimer les traces, la moindre trace
Palmas is talking about wiping away any and all evidence of his past. He is trying to start anew and put his past behind him.

Ce qui reste de candeur
Palmas still wants some of his innocence to remain despite his current struggles. He doesn't want to lose all aspects of his youth and purity.

Un morceau de glace à la place du cœur
The line 'Un morceau de glace à la place du cœur' essentially means that Palmas wants to have an ice-cold heart with no emotions left. He's willing to go to extremes to avoid feeling hurt or pain again.

Et même si je m'améliore
Palmas is saying that even if he improves himself, he will still long for something that's currently missing. He feels incomplete.

Oh j'en rêve encore
The repetition of this line only emphasizes Palmas' longing. He dreams of a better and ideal situation.

Même cassé, ivre mort
Essentially, Palmas is saying that even if he were to hit rock bottom and come out in a drunken state, he would still dream of a better future.

Ne plus rien sentir
This line means that Palmas wants to numb himself to any feelings or emotions. He just wants to feel a sense of nothingness.

Inconscient, minérale
By using the words 'inconscient, minérale', Palmas indicates that he wants to become like a mineral, unfeeling and unresponsive.

Plus le moindre désir
Palmas doesn't want to have any desires or wants anymore. He wants to be indifferent to everything.

Plus de peur ni de mal
This line describes Palmas' desire to be free of any fear or worries. He wants to be in a state of complete stillness.

Vivant mais mort
By saying 'vivant mais mort,' Palmas emphasizes that he is still alive but feels like he's already dead inside.

N'être plus qu'un corps
Here, Palmas is saying that he is reduced to just being a body without any mind, heart and soul. He feels dead inside.

Que tout me soit égal
This line means that Palmas wants to become indifferent to everything around him. He wants to feel like he doesn't care about anything or anyone.

Ton absence qui me mord
Palmas talks about the pain of someone's absence, how it's eating away at him. It's still hard for him to cope with losing them.

Ton départ et mes remords
Palmas is describing his regret about someone's departure. He feels guilty about something he might have done wrong to make them leave.

Son corps à lui dans ton corps
The line 'Son corps à lui dans ton corps' is Palmas reminiscing about past love. He's referring to the physical intimacy that he shared with someone.

Oh j'en crève encore
The use of 'j'en crève encore' instead of 'j'en rêve encore' indicates that Palmas is in pain or he is dying because of some memory or flashback.

Encore, encore, encore
The repetition of 'encore' all throughout the song shows that Palmas is desperate to either relive or escape from certain memories/fantasies. He longs for something better or different.
