Vivre
Deine Lakaien Lyrics

The song "Vivre" by Deine Lakaien speaks about the idea of living life as if it were a dream. The lyrics are in French and English, with repetition of the phrase "Vivre la vie comme un reve" (Live life as a dream). The chorus repeats the phrase "Do est ton ami" (Where is your friend), which is ambiguous and leaves the listener to interpret who or what this friend may be. The lyrics suggest that the friend could be a representation of life, death, or even an imaginary friend.

The verses express the desire to be able to smile, dance, and sing in dreams. This desire is echoed by the other person in the song, who wants to be able to stay in their dreams. These verses suggest that dreams are a place where one can truly be themselves and do what they want without any constraints. The repeated phrase "Pas expliquer, seulement rester" (Not explain, only stay) emphasizes the importance of being able to stay in this dream world without having to explain oneself.

The final verse highlights the dichotomy between being too big and too small for the world. The idea is that one must love life, dream, and conceive of it in order to fully experience it. The repeated desire to smile, dance, and sing in dreams represents the longing to be free from the limitations of reality and to be able to live life on one's own terms.
