Voices
Final State Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On se livre au sort pour en dépeindre nos corps
I know this is going way too far
Mais dis-moi si j’avais tort
I’m gone I should have stayed
Feels like I’m moving back
On se livre au sort pour en dépeindre nos corps
Mais dis-moi si j’avais tort
I know I know this is going way too far
Dis-moi pourquoi j’ai peur
I need to call it off
Le temps s’y perd
Et si on s’oubliait, perdus
Les pieds dans l’aube
Et si on avait tort
De faire danser les autres
Plus on se perd
Plus c’est la guerre
Been to places they will never believe in
Avant de fuir ce qui n’existe pas
I’d rather spend my time with the voices in my head
Pourquoi déjà
J’ai dû te donner raison
On se livre au sort pour en dépeindre nos corps
I know this is going way too far
Mais dis-moi si j’avais tort
I’m gone I should have stayed
Feels like I’m moving back
On se livre au sort pour en dépeindre nos corps
I know that this is going way too far
Mais dis-moi si j’avais tort (2x)
I know I know
This is going way too far
Dis-moi pourquoi j’ai peur
I need to call it off
Le temps s’y perd
Et si on s’oubliait, perdus
Les pieds dans l’aube
Et si on avait tort
De faire danser les autres
Plus on se perd
Plus c’est la guerre
Been to places they will never believe in
Avant de fuir ce qui n’existe pas
I’d rather spend my time with the voices in my head
I’m gone I should have stayed
Feel like I’m moving back
On se livre au sort pour en dépeindre nos corps
I know that this is going way too far
Mais dis-moi si j’avais tort (2x)
The song "Voices" by Final State expresses the struggle of two people who are questioning their actions and feelings. The singer acknowledges that they gave someone else the benefit of the doubt and allowed them to dictate the situation, despite the potential negative consequences. They also recognize that they are going too far and need to stop, but fear is holding them back from doing so. The repeated phrase "dis-moi si j'avais tort" (tell me if I was wrong) highlights their need for validation and a desire to be told that they are not making a mistake.
The lyrics also explore the theme of escape and finding solace in one's own mind. The line "I'd rather spend my time with the voices in my head" suggests that the singer finds comfort and understanding in their own thoughts and imagination, rather than in the external world. The final verse speaks to the idea of getting lost and forgetting oneself, with the lines "Et si on s'oubliait, perdus/Les pieds dans l'aube" (What if we forgot ourselves, lost/Our feet in the dawn).
Overall, "Voices" is a song about the confusion and uncertainty that can arise in relationships, and the internal struggle to find a sense of peace and understanding.
