Hein
C'est ma vie
J'aime quand tu danse
Ton corps s'allume se réveille
C'est comme une course aveugle
Une fuite en avant d'un immeuble
Si tu t'arrête contre moi
Ne dis rien et d'or et déjà
Ta voix ne passera pas
Sur le mienne ni contre toi

The lyrics of Elephant's song "Rien" dive into an emotional and complex relationship dynamic between two people. The opening lines (Qui a t'il, Rien, C'est ta fibre, Hein) translate to "What's there, Nothing, It's your instinct, Right?" which presents the idea that one person's instinct or fiber is dictating the relationship. The repeated phrase "Qui a t'il, Rien" throughout the song can be interpreted as a sense of emptiness or void. The next lines (Je n'existe, Qui a t'il, Rien) turn to the singer feeling invisible or non-existent because of the other person's strong presence.
The song then goes on to focus on the attraction between the two people ("Qui m'attire, Toi, J'ai ton rire") and how the singer can be rough or damaging in their relationship ("Je t'abîme, Hein, C'est ma vie"). The lines "J'aime quand tu danse, Ton corps s'allume se réveille" paint a picture of the other person being alive and energized, but with a sense of danger in their actions.
Overall, the song represents a toxic relationship dynamic where one person's instinct leads the way, the other person feels invisible and non-existent, and there is a lot of damaging behavior.
