Comme toi
Frank Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ils ne se souviennent plus
Qu'ils m'avaient applaudit
Ma chanson leur disait
Je reviendrais pour vous
Mais je suis seul au rendez-vous
Une fleure que le vent ait froissé
Et ils sont balance c'était ma dernière séance
Il me reste l'ombre d'un rideau tombé
Mais comme toi j'ai aidé mes aventures
Comme toi, je soigne mes blessures
Comme toi, j'ai mal je te jure
Comme toi
Et comme toi
Je triche et je fais semblant comme toi
Je ris mais je suis perdant, cette fois
Et il faudra se rendre
Toi qui te retrouve seul
Toi qui a le cœur gros
Il faut du courage pour repartir à zéro
Tu n'as pas changé on ne te reconnais plus
Hier encore ils t'ont élu
Où sont passé tes meilleurs amis
Celui qui voulait t'offrir sa vie
Tu peux te retourné
Les réinventé derrière toi
Ton sillage ne compte plus que tes pas
Mais comme moi ta des mésaventures
Comme moi, tu soignes tes blessures
Comme moi, t'es entre deux mesures
Comme moi, tout comme moi
Tu triches et tu fais semblant comme moi
Tu ris mais tu es perdant comme moi
Et tu voudras te rendre
Mais comme moi
Toi l'ami faudrait pas resté là
Tu sais la vie il y a des hauts y a bas
Et tu pourras toujours compter sur moi
In the song "Comme toi" by Frank Michael, the lyrics reflect feelings of indifference and being forgotten. The singer expresses disappointment as the audience no longer remembers applauding for him and his promise to return for them. Despite his intentions, he finds himself alone at the rendezvous, symbolizing a sense of abandonment and loneliness. The imagery of a flower crumpled by the wind represents the fleeting nature of recognition and appreciation, as people easily forget what once existed. The mention of a "last session" hints at the finality and closure of a chapter in the singer's life, leaving him with only the shadow of a fallen curtain.
The chorus "Comme toi" (Like you) draws parallels between the singer's experiences and those of the listener. Both have navigated through life's adventures, tended to their wounds, and endured pain. The admission that they both engage in deception and pretend to be fine underscores the theme of struggling internally while maintaining a facade of strength externally. The realization of being a "loser this time" highlights the vulnerability and inevitability of facing hardships in life, ultimately leading to a moment of reckoning and acceptance.
The lyrics shift to address someone who finds themselves alone with a heavy heart, needing courage to start afresh. Despite the lack of recognition and changing relationships, the message conveys empathy and understanding towards the listener's struggles. The singer acknowledges the friend's hardships and offers support by emphasizing the fluctuating nature of life's ups and downs. The reference to the importance of resilience and moving forward is a reminder that while the path may seem lonely, there is strength in persevering and rebuilding after setbacks.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on shared experiences of misfortune and healing wounds. The repetition of "comme moi" (like me) emphasizes the commonality of challenges faced by both the singer and the listener. They both engage in coping mechanisms and share the feeling of being caught between uncertainties. The call to not give up and the reassurance that one can always rely on the other for support conveys a message of solidarity and camaraderie, encouraging resilience and mutual understanding in times of hardship. Ultimately, the song serves as a reminder that amidst struggles and setbacks, companionship and empathy can provide comfort and strength to overcome adversities.
