Mourir d'Aimer
Dany Brillant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je m'y accroche mais je glisse
Lentement vers ma destinée
Mourir d'aimer
Tandis que le monde me juge
Je ne vois pour moi qu'un refuge
Toute issue m'étant condamnée
Mourir d'aimer
De plein gré s'enfoncer dans la nuit
Payer l'amour au prix de sa vie
Pécher contre le corps mais non contre l'esprit
Laissons le monde à ses problèmes
Les gens haineux face à eux-mêmes
Avec leurs petites idées
Mourir d'aimer
Puisque notre amour ne peut vivre
Mieux vaut en refermer le livre
Et plutôt que de le brûler
Mourir d'aimer
Partir en redressant la tête
Sortir vainqueur d'une défaite
Renverser toutes les données
Mourir d'aimer
Mourir d'aimer
Comme on le peut de n'importe quoi
Abandonner tout derrière soi
Pour n'emporter que ce qui fut nous, qui fut toi
Tu es le printemps, moi l'automne
Ton cœur se prend, le mien se donne
Et ma route est déjà tracée
Mourir d'aimer
Mourir, mourir d'aimer
The lyrics of Dany Brillant's song "Mourir d'aimer" explore the theme of a passionate and all-consuming love that leads to a sense of despair and sacrifice. The opening lines describe the singer's life as smooth, but they feel like they are slipping, slowly moving towards their destined end. They are holding on, but the force of love is overpowering, leading to their ultimate downfall.
The lyrics suggest that the world judges the singer, but they only see refuge in their love. It seems that they have no other way out, feeling condemned to love so intensely that it may be their undoing. "Mourir d'aimer" can be interpreted as choosing to die for love, willingly plunging into the darkness and paying the ultimate price for love, even though they may be sinning against their body but not against their spirit.
The song advocates for leaving the world and its problems behind, as well as leaving behind people who harbor hatred towards themselves. The singer suggests that it's better to close the book on their love story rather than burning it. They believe it is wiser to die for the love they have and exit with their head held high, making a victorious departure from a defeat. They want to overturn all the expectations and societal norms, choosing to die for love instead.
In the final verse, the lyrics evoke a sense of contrast between the different stages of love. The singer depicts themselves as autumn while their beloved represents spring. They acknowledge that their beloved takes their heart, while they offer themselves completely. They recognize that their path is already predetermined, leading them to die for this love.
Overall, "Mourir d'aimer" tells the story of an intense passion that consumes and overwhelms the individual, leading them to contemplate sacrificing everything for love, even if it defies societal expectations and condemns them to their own demise.
