Mon Monde
Electric Beans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Affalé sur ma serviette bleue
Sieste et bronzette sur le sable
Le bruit des vagues, le ciel bleu
Cinq minutes tout a basculé
Les gamins ont pris leurs aises
Le seau les pelles et leur goûterL’odeur de couche, la mayonnaise
Soudain j’ai arrêté de bronzer
Le ciel était pourtant pas couvert
C’est le père qui v’nait d’installer
Un parasol pour la grand-mère !
C’est mon monde, c’est ma place
C’est mon air, que tu respires
Tu envahis tout mon espace
Dégages de là où je te vire
C’est mon monde, c’est ma place
J’vais pas m’laisser envahir
T’es de trop dans ma carapace
J’ai bien envie d’te démolir
Un tête à tête en amoureux
Un p’tit resto confidentiel
Champagne et piano langoureux
Romance et diner aux chandelles
Mais soudain tout a chaviré
Quand les gros lourds ont débarqué
Que des mecs une troisième mi-temps
Des rires bourrins, des rires tout l’temps
C’est entre deux histoires de fesses
Qu’j’ai dit « je t’aime » à ma princesse
J’l’ai entendue me dire « tocard »
Avant qu’ils allument leurs cigares
C’est mon monde, c’est ma place
C’est mon air, que tu respires
Tu envahis tout mon espace
Dégages de là où je te vire
C’est mon monde, c’est ma place
J’vais pas m’laisser envahir
T’es de trop dans ma carapace
J’ai bien envie de t’démolir
C’est mon monde, c’est ma place
C’est mon air que tu respires
Tu envahis tout mon espace
Lâche-moi la grappe et va mourir
In the first verse of "Mon Monde," the singer sets the scene of himself enjoying a relaxing day on the beach. He describes himself lounging on a blue towel, taking a nap and soaking up the sun on the sand, with the soothing sounds of the waves and the clear blue sky above. However, his peaceful moment is disrupted when a group of children invade his space, bringing along their toys, snacks, and the chaos of childhood. Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere is shattered by the commotion surrounding him, exemplified by the father setting up a parasol for his grandmother.
The chorus captures the singer's frustration and the sentiment of feeling invaded in his own world. He asserts his ownership of his space, expressing that it is his world, his place, and the air he breathes. He demands the intruder to leave his space, emphasizing his need to reclaim his personal territory and remove any unwanted presence that disturbs his peace.
In the second verse, the singer shifts to a romantic scenario of a intimate dinner with his loved one, complete with champagne, soft piano music, and candlelight. However, this idyllic moment is disrupted by the arrival of rowdy and obnoxious individuals, who disrupt the tranquility with their loud behavior and macho attitudes. The singer's attempt to profess his love to his partner is met with a dismissive response, as she is more interested in the newcomers and their cigars.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's determination to protect his world and his space from unwanted intrusion. He expresses his anger and desire to push away anyone who threatens his peace, using strong language to convey his frustration and determination to maintain his personal boundaries. The final lines of the song are a forceful rejection of the unwanted presence, with the singer vehemently demanding the intruder to leave him alone and perish, highlighting his unwillingness to compromise his space and asserting his need for autonomy and peace.
Overall, "Mon Monde" by Electric Beans explores themes of boundaries, ownership of personal space, and the frustration of unwanted intrusion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's attempts to maintain control over his world amidst disruptions and interference from others, ultimately conveying a strong sense of assertiveness and determination to protect his peace and autonomy.
