Jeudi
Electric Beans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eau minérale et du poisson
Lundi, t’arrêtes le saucisson,
Les nouilles au beurre et les bonbons
Lundi, t’achètes du Canderel,
Coca zéro, et des biscottes sans sel
Lundi, les biscuits apéro :
Mardi, premières crampes d’estomac
T’oublies le goût du chocolat
Mardi tu vides Wikipédia :
Comment survivre sans un bout d’gras ?
Mardi massages amincissants
Envelop’ments d’algues et des bains bouillonnants
Mardi pour la liposucion
T’es partant
Jeudi, c’est là que tu reprends
Jeudi, le pain les féculents
Le fromage lait cru, le pâté le pinard
Les pizzas surgelées et les omelettes au lard
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi
Samedi, acné et pellicules
Poignées d’amour : t’es ridicule
Samedi, tu reprends ton vélo
Tes vieilles haltères, planche à abdos
Mercredi tu frôles le psychodrame
Sur ta balance, en sortant du Hammâm
Mercredi tu frôles le psychodrame
Pour cent grammes
Jeudi, c’est là que tu reprends
Jeudi, le pain les féculents
Le fromage lait cru, le pâté le pinard
Les pizzas surgelées et les omelettes au lard
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi
Pourtant tu aimes les spaghettis
Les raviolis les cannellonis
Les rigatonis
Les fettuccinis
Dimanche, tu hésites longuement :
Du Weight Watcher ou la méthode Ducan ?
Dimanche premiers médicaments
Evidemment !
Jeudi, c’est là que tu reprends
Jeudi, le pain les féculents
Le fromage lait cru, le pâté le pinard
Les pizzas surgelées et les omelettes au lard
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi, tu reprends là
Jeudi
In the song "Jeudi" by Electric Beans, the lyrics navigate the cyclical struggle between dietary resolutions and indulgence, illustrating a humorous yet poignant reflection on modern food culture and body image. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the week’s progression, starting with “Lundi” (Monday) when people make lofty promises to eat healthier. The initial enthusiasm is palpable as the singer highlights the typical resolutions: drinking mineral water, eating fish, and saying goodbye to beloved but unhealthy foods like sausage, buttery noodles, and candies. This verse sets up the theme of the song — the clash between aspiration and temptation, represented through an amusing enumeration of diet-centric food choices.
As the week advances to Tuesday, the lighthearted tone shifts to encompass the discomfort that often accompanies drastic lifestyle changes. The first stomach cramps signify the struggle and sacrifice inherent in steering clear of beloved treats such as chocolate. Here, the singer darkly humorizes the desperate search for coping mechanisms through Wikipedia, reflecting the feelings of despair and confusion that come with attempting to navigate the rigors of dieting. Amidst the talks of massages and treatments, the mention of liposuction implies a societal obsession with body standards, emphasizing the extremes to which people might go to conform. This juxtaposition illustrates how quickly enthusiasm can wane when faced with the reality of significant lifestyle changes.
By the time it reaches Thursday, the song takes a refreshingly ironic turn as a sense of defeat and surrender becomes evident. This day becomes a symbol of indulgence, wherein the singer reclaims all the forbidden foods lost in the early part of the week. The repeated insistence on "Jeudi, c'est là que tu reprends" (Thursday, that's when you resume) showcases not just a return to old habits but a celebration of culinary pleasures that were momentarily forsaken. The mouthwatering catalog of indulgent foods — from crusty bread to rich cheeses and hearty pizzas — brings to light the overwhelming and sometimes irresistible nature of cravings, turning the song into a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the push and pull between dieting and guilt-free enjoyment.
As the week continues, the lyrics revisit the internal conflict surrounding food choices, particularly through the lens of Sunday as a day of reckoning. The singer finds themselves caught between two different weight-loss programs, embodying the indecision typical of someone on a diet caught up in self-improvement. This ongoing struggle reaffirms the song’s central themes: the joys of cooking and eating versus societal pressures to conform to a slender ideal. The repeated chant of “Jeudi, tu reprends là” serves as both a playful refrain and a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of diets, underscoring a relatable struggle faced by many. Overall, "Jeudi" offers not only a comedic narrative about dieting but also a deeper commentary on the human relationship with food, indulgence, and the often transient nature of resolutions.
