Berceuse
Eschellon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the moon is full
And hides in clouds
And all your hope is lost

You were looking for a way out,
But you don't know which way it is?

Were you looking for answers?
Did you tie yourself to fences?

How high would you jump for love?
Do you like the way this is going?
Not sure if you believe anymore?

How we gonna sleep?
How we gonna sleep?
How we gonna sleep tonight?
When we have no control...

Gravity tries to pull the moon
But its losing all of its effects

And we fall towards the center
But always seem to miss

Are you dying to admit something,
But you don't know what it is?

Is it politics or pickup sticks,
Or any other games that we play?

How we gonna sleep?
How we gonna sleep?
How we gonna sleep tonight?
When we have no control...





...The tides are coming in again, they are pulling me along
It takes me away, it takes me away, it takes me away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eschellon's song "Berceuse" are a contemplation on the human condition - specifically, the feeling of being lost and adrift in a world where even the moon, a celestial body that has long guided humanity, is now seemingly beyond our control. The imagery of the moon hiding behind clouds and losing its effects on the tides mirrors the singer's own sense of powerlessness and confusion. They were looking for a way out but don't know where to go or what to do, and may have tied themselves to "fences" or beliefs that are no longer serving them.


The repeated refrain of "How we gonna sleep?" is a powerful one, as sleep is often seen as a time of rest and rejuvenation. The fact that the singer cannot even imagine a peaceful rest highlights their anxiety and desperation. The final lines bring this sense of being lost full circle, as the tides which were previously connected to the moon now simply pull the singer away. It is as if they have fully surrendered to the chaos of the world and have no agency over their own direction.


Line by Line Meaning

When the moon is full
In times of great potential and opportunity


And hides in clouds
But obscured by uncertainty


And all your hope is lost
And everything seems hopeless


You were looking for a way out, But you don't know which way it is?
Are you feeling lost and directionless?


Were you looking for answers? Did you tie yourself to fences?
Did you limit yourself in pursuit of a goal?


How high would you jump for love? Do you like the way this is going? Not sure if you believe anymore?
Are you uncertain about your relationships and life direction?


How we gonna sleep? How we gonna sleep? How we gonna sleep tonight? When we have no control...
How can we rest when our lives are beyond our control?


Gravity tries to pull the moon But its losing all of its effects
Change is happening beyond our understanding


And we fall towards the center But always seem to miss
We try to find our place, but it remains elusive


Are you dying to admit something, But you don't know what it is?
Is there something you're holding back, even from yourself?


Is it politics or pickup sticks, Or any other games that we play?
Is it the trivial distractions we indulge in rather than facing reality?


The tides are coming in again, they are pulling me along It takes me away, it takes me away, it takes me away
The inevitability of change, and the feeling of being swept away by the currents of life

Shhh. Shhh, não precisa acordar
Eu queria apenas te beijar
Olhar para você mais uma vez
Para te levar comigo
Lá onde eu vou cantar

Mamãe te ama

Não olhe para mim
Não me estenda os braços
Não chore, por favor não chore
Eu quero ficar mas não posso

Mamãe te ama

Como eu te amo

Eu sei que estou te causando dor
Mas eu levo você comigo para o palco
E se o público me aplaude
É porque você está comigo, minha alma

Mamãe te ama
Eu te amo...

BERCEUSE
Chut!, Chut!, faut pas te réveiller
Je voulais juste t´embrasser
Te regarder encore une fois
Pour t´emporter avec moi
Là où je vais... chanter
Maman t´aime, maman t´aime
Maman t´aime, maman t´aime

Surtout ne me regarde pas
Surtout ne me tends pas les bras
Ne pleure, ne pleure surtout pas
Je vais rester, mais je ne peux pas
Je ne peux pas...

Maman t´aime, maman t´aime
Maman t´aime, maman t´aime
Maman t´aime, maman t´aime

Et si le public m´ovationne
C´est parce que t´es avec moi
Mon homme

Maman t´aime, je t´aime
