Chanson d'amour
Fredericks Goldman Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Des p'tits, des lourds, des vrais, d'autres du flan
C'est trop finissons-en
Ça dégouline de tous les magazines
Ça colle aux doigts, ça colle au cœur, c'est dégoûtant
En vérité
Qui pourrait m'en citer
Plus de liberté
Des amours propres, les plus sales, écœurants
J'en ai croisés souvent
Enfants parents, photos, sourires, charmant!
Nés pour venger tous leurs échecs, donnant-donnant
Amours "vautour", ou "vitrine", j'en ai vus
Mais des amours tout court, ça court pas les rues
Abus d'confiance, vulgaire anesthésique
Inconscience pathétique
Ça peut cacher nos misères un moment
Comme un alcool, comme une drogue, un paravent
Mais y'a toujours un de ces sales matins où l'on se dit que l'amour
Ça sert à rien
Trêve de discours, y'a rien d'pire que l'amour
Sauf de ne pas aimer
Autant le faire, c'est clair
Et puis se taire
The lyrics of Fredericks Goldman Jones's song, "Chanson d'amour," are a commentary on the current state of love in society and its representation in various media. The first verse describes how love is constantly in the forefront of people's minds, whether it be on screens or in novels. The different types of love, including true love and superficial love, are also mentioned. The singer then suggests that it's time to finish with this obsession with love, as it has become overly saturating and overwhelming.
In the second verse, the song talks about how love is portrayed in magazines, becoming so pervasive that it disgusts the listener. The singer then questions if anyone can name a person who has given their partner true freedom within a relationship. The following lines discuss encounters with both genuine and fake love, stressing that true love is not easy to come by. Furthermore, the song addresses the idea that love can be used to cover up personal problems, but it eventually fades away, leaving a person in a state of disappointment and confusion. The song concludes by suggesting that while love may not always be the best thing, it's still better than not loving at all.
