C'est La Vie
Dinos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hadouken)
Blue skies, purple rain
I don't miss you but I think about you
Blue skies, purple rain
I miss callin' out your name

Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie
Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie

Yeah, c'est la vie, mon bébé, my darling
J'dois m'cacher, j'suis connu dans tout Paris
Les jours passent, on s'rapproche de l'enfer
J'veux m'endormir, me réveiller avant-hier
On s'est pris la tête à 15 heures, il est 22 heures
J'ai pas d'tes nouvelles, qu'est-ce que tu f'rais si demain je meurs?
Dans ma folie, tout paraît anachronique
Alors j'vais broyer du noir comme ces bâtards de la police

Ice cold, tears dry
Too proud to cry
We both know
I miss callin' out your name

Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie
Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie
Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie
Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie

Yeah, j'veux pas qu'tu partes mais j'veux pas qu'tu restes
J't'ai fait tant de mal, babe, pourquoi tu m'aimes?
Le temps s'inverse quand t'es loin de moi
J'sais donner l'amour, j'sais juste pas l'recevoir, non
J'arrive plus à voir le soleil, j'arrive juste à voir l'orage
Plus à voir le bien, j'arrive juste à voir le mal
J'arrive plus à voir ton sourire, j'arrive juste à voir tes larmes
J'veux plus avoir raison

Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie
Anyway, c'est la vie
Vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie, vie, vie-vie

J'arrive plus à voir le soleil, j'arrive juste à voir l'orage
Plus à voir le bien, j'arrive juste à voir le mal
J'arrive plus à voir ton sourire, j'arrive juste à voir tes larmes
J'veux plus avoir raison, j'veux juste avoir le calme
J'arrive plus à voir le soleil, j'arrive juste à voir l'orage
Plus à voir le bien, j'arrive juste à voir le mal




J'arrive plus à voir ton sourire, j'arrive juste à voir tes larmes
J'veux plus avoir raison, j'veux juste avoir le calme

Overall Meaning

In the song "C'est La Vie" by Dinos, the lyrics reflect on a complicated relationship where the singer is torn between missing someone and wanting to move on. The repetition of "blue skies, purple rain" symbolically represents conflicting emotions - the blue skies represent a sense of freedom and moving forward, while the purple rain represents the lingering feelings of sadness and longing. The line "I don't miss you but I think about you" suggests that the person has mixed feelings about the past and is unable to fully let go of their memories.


The phrase "c'est la vie," which translates to "that's life" in French, is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the acceptance of the unpredictable and often disappointing nature of life. It implies that sometimes things don't work out as expected, but one must accept that life has its ups and downs. The repetition of "vie, vie-vie" in the chorus further emphasizes this concept, as if reminding oneself to keep moving forward despite the challenges.


The verses delve deeper into the struggles of the singer. The lines "I must hide, I am known throughout Paris" suggest a certain level of fame and recognition, which adds another layer to the complexities of their personal life. The lyrics also touch on the passage of time, with the line "the days pass, we're getting closer to hell," conveying a sense of impending doom or the worsening of their situation.


The singer reflects on their own flaws and the negative impact they may have had on the relationship, wondering why the other person still loves them despite the pain they have caused. They express a longing for a past that has slipped away, unable to see the positivity in life anymore. The repeated line "I want to see the sun, I can only see the storm" and the contrast between good and evil reflect their struggle with finding happiness and the ability to appreciate the good things in life.


Overall, "C'est La Vie" portrays the internal conflict and emotional turmoil of someone who is trapped between nostalgia and the desire to move forward. It explores themes of acceptance, self-reflection, and the unpredictable nature of relationships and life itself.
