Rubikscube
Ethel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Notre amour bloqué dans le subtile jeu
Du Rubikscube
Jusqu′à la fin du jeu
Oui, c'est toi que je veux
Toi et moi
Notre amour bloqué dans le subtile jeu
Jusqu′à la fin du jeu
Oui, c'est toi que je...
Main dans la main
La vie en technicolor
Comme un Rubikscube
Ça tourne comme un Rubikscube
Tourner en rond
Trouverons nous la solution
Une multitude de codes
On crée notre propre combinaison
Je suis bien
Mais tout dépend de la date de péremption
Histoire haute en couleur
Je ne me perds pas dans tes yeux, je m'y retrouve
Bloqué dans un Rubikscube
Bébé, qu′est-ce qui se passera quand on sortira de là
Histoire haute en couleur
Assemblage de bonheur
Bloqué dans un Rubikscube
Bébé, qu′est-ce qui se passera quand on sortira de là
Toi et moi
Notre amour bloqué dans le subtile jeu
Du Rubikscube
Toujours embarqué dans
Ce game un peu trop compliqué
Mais j'aime notre joie et le bordel
Bordel tridimensionel
En six couleurs, pour six faces
Avec toi, j′ai trouvé ma place
Nous ne sommes qu'une seule et unique personne
D′une façon ça nous façonne
De l'autre ça m′effraie
Please leave your message after the tone
Press anything to end
Et je me sens rassurée
Un jour peut-être tout retrouver
Histoire haute en couleur
Je ne me perds pas dans tes yeux, je m'y retrouve
Bloqué dans un Rubikscube
Bébé, qu'est-ce qui se passera quand on sortira de là
Histoire haute en couleur
Assemblage de bonheur
Bloqué dans un Rubikscube
Bébé, qu′est-ce qui se passera quand on sortira de là
Histoire haute en couleur
Je ne me perds pas dans tes yeux, je m′y retrouve
Bloqué dans un Rubikscube
Bébé, qu'est-ce qui se passera quand on sortira de là
Histoire haute en couleur
Assemblage de bonheur
Bloqué dans un Rubikscube
Bébé, qu′est-ce qui se passera quand on sortira de là
The lyrics of Ethel's song "Rubikscube" speak about a love that is akin to a Rubik's cube, a puzzle that requires patience and strategy to solve. The song presents a metaphor for the complexities of a relationship that requires constant adjustment and experimentation, much like twisting and turning the puzzle pieces of a Rubik's cube. The lyrics suggest that the couple is "bloqué dans le subtile jeu du Rubikscube," or stuck in the subtle game of the Rubik's cube. Despite this challenge, the singer affirms that she wants her partner: "Oui, c'est toi que je veux."
As the song progresses, the lyrics highlight the ups and downs of the relationship, using the imagery of a Rubik's cube to illustrate the various twists and turns of their journey. The lyrics suggest that the couple is trying to find a solution, experimenting with different codes and combinations, indicating their willingness to work to overcome any difficulties. The singer mentions that she feels at ease with her partner, but at the same time, she is apprehensive, as the Rubik's cube metaphor alludes to the idea that "tout dépend de la date de péremption," suggesting that the relationship may have an expiration date. Ultimately, the singer hopes that they will eventually succeed in solving the puzzle of their relationship, and that they will find happiness out of the chaos of the Rubik's cube.
