Tu es mon autre
Fabian Lara Lyrics

In Tu es mon autre, Fabian Lara sings about the connection between two individuals that goes beyond words and understanding. The opening lines pose a question about the identity of the other, whether they are a soulmate, a sibling, or simply nothing, but the mystery surrounding them only adds to their allure. The other person is depicted as an enigma that the singer is connected to intimately, they are "enraptured" and "embryonic". The imagery suggests that the singer is being carried and nurtured by this person who is the only "animal" on their lost "arche", or ark.

The chorus of the song is where the title comes in, and it highlights the idea that the other person is an extension of the self, they are "mon autre" or "my other". The phrase is repeated over and over, emphasizing the idea of this deep and unbreakable bond. The singer describes the other as "the force of my faith, my weakness and my law, my insolence and my right". It's clear that this other person is the singer's everything, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to keep them close.

Throughout the song, there is also an emphasis on the idea of infinity and being together forever. The singer sings "Si nous n'étions pas d'ici, nous serions l'infini" which translates to "if we weren't from here, we would be infinity". This line suggests that their connection is not only strong but also eternal. They also sing of an "arbre de nos vies" or "tree of our lives" that will keep them away from the shadows and close to each other, even after death.

Overall, Tu es mon autre is a love song that goes beyond the typical "romantic" love. It's a celebration of a connection that is hard to define but impossible to ignore.
