Je Mérite Mieux Que Toi
Eleven Thirty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mes copines te disaient intoxicant
Avec ton délicieux sourire croquant
Je suis tombée amoureuse sur-le-champ
J'me suis donnée à toi le coeur ouvert
Ton existance a comblé mes prières
Maintenant je te dis aurevoir mon cher
Je mérite mieux que toi
(C'est vrai) J'ai retrouvé mon sang-froid
(Tu m'entends) Je mérite mieux que toi
Tu me pavanais comme un de tes trophées
Tu m'habillais comme une jolie poupée
Mais j'ai fini de me faire parader
Plus personne ne viendra me posséder
Chez toi les apparences valent mieux que l'or
T'es trop surperficiel, j'te fous dehors
Ta sorcière bien-aimée te lance un sort
Je n'ai plus de remords
Je mérite mieux que toi
(Frimeur) J'ai retrouvé mon sang-froid
(Tu m'entends) Je mérite mieux que toi
Marlo, tu cherchera toujours la gloire
Et tu te prendra toujours pour César
Dans mes bras tu recherchais des regards
Pour nourrir ton petit égo de star
Doucement, je perdais mon amour-propre
Aujourd'hui, je ne suis plus aussi myope
À toutes tes mesquineries, moi je dis STOP!
Reine de ma destinée
mon avenir existera sans lui
Il ne vaut plus rien dans ma vie
Libérée de son charme
Je ne verserai plus de larmes
Je mérite mieux que toi
(P'tit con) J'ai retrouvé mon sang-froid
Je mérite mieux que toi
Je mérite mieux que toi
(Tu vois) J'ai retrouvé mon sang-froid
(Point final) Je mérite mieux que toi
The lyrics of Eleven Thirty's song Je Mérite Mieux Que Toi talks about a woman who believed she had found her Prince Charming but eventually realizes that she deserves better. When she met him, she was smitten with his charming smile, and he swept her off her feet. However, her friends warned her that he was intoxicating, but she didn't listen. She gave her heart to him, and he became her wish fulfillment. But she has now come to her senses and sees that the relationship was superficial than meaningful.
She accuses him of treating her like a trophy that he could parade around. She felt like a doll dressed up to please him, but has finally realized that he's too obsessed with appearances. Her self-esteem had taken a hit due to the constant need for validation from him. She has had enough; she no longer wants to live her life pleasing someone else. She's now the queen of her destiny and has taken control of her life. She leaves him, feeling free of his charm, and no longer shed a tear for him. She explains to him that she deserves better, and he can no longer manipulate her anymore.
Je Mérite Mieux Que Toi is a song of empowerment that speaks about breaking free from toxic relationships and taking control of one's destiny. It's an anthem for anyone who has been in a relationship where they have been taken for granted or not valued for who they are. The singer advises us to never settle for less than we deserve and reminds us that we are the masters of our fate.
