Sans histoire
Dumas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il serait temps de me faire signe
Où que tu sois
Il serait temps de me faire signe
Un jour parfais
Pour l’univers
Sans attache
Ni balise
Que nos vies
Au ralentit
Sans histoire
Sans histoire
Sans histoire
Sans histoire
The opening lines of Dumas's Sans histoire implore the subject of the song, wherever they may be, to reach out and connect. The repetition of the appeal emphasizes the urgency and importance of this connection. The next lines conjure an idyllic image of a perfect day for the universe, shared with this person. The lack of attachment or navigation points suggests a carefree existence enjoyed in the moment. The final lines of the verse express a desire for a slow-paced life together, with no drama or conflict to mar the experience.
The repeated refrain of "Sans histoire" reinforces this theme of a simple life without the complexities of emotional baggage or drama. The implication is that the singer wants to have a pure and uncomplicated relationship with the person addressed.
