Toi
Georges Chelon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meme le peu
Qui ne dépend pas de toi
Face à toi, je deviens fou, fou
Au bout du jeu
Il ne me reste plus que toi
Je te mettrai dans un lit
Oui, si tu veux
Nous y passerons des nuits
Et peu à peu
Je te ferai des aveux qui
Seront bleus, bleus comme tes yeux
Je te dirai mon avis
Oui, si tu veux
Nous partagerons la vie
Et tous les deux
Nous connaitrons le paradis
Des amoureux heureux
Et comme toi je suis au bout
Du souffle qui
Ne souffle que pour nous
Est-il vraiment si difficile
De bâtir une vie dans une ile
Nous dormirons sur le sable blond
Le soleil sera le compagnon de nos réveils
Et la mer sera la chanson
Que nous chanterons ensemble
Nous finirons par nous dire
Que l'avenir
C'est comme le souvenir
Il se respire
C'est une fleur du présent
Qui fleurit à chaque instant
Grâce à toi, je rate tout, tout
Meme le peu
Qui ne dépend pas de toi
Face à toi, je deviens fou, fou
Au bout du jeu
Il ne restera plus que toi
In these lyrics, Georges Chelon expresses the overwhelming influence and impact that a certain person has on his life. He begins by acknowledging that because of them, he fails at everything, even the things that are unrelated to them. The person has such power over him that he admits to becoming crazy when he is around them. It seems like this person is the only thing that matters to him, as he says that there is nothing left for him except for them.
Chelon goes on to describe his desire to be intimately connected with this person. He suggests putting them in a bed, indicating a desire for physical closeness. He envisions spending nights together and gradually opening up to them, sharing his deepest secrets and thoughts. He describes these confessions as being "blue," possibly suggesting that they will be vulnerable and emotional, just like the color of their eyes. He wants to express his opinions and feelings to them, offering a glimpse into his true self.
The lyrics then shift to the idea of sharing a life with this person. Chelon imagines a paradise for happy lovers, where they will experience the fullness of life together. He compares his own state to being at the end of his breath, implying that this person is his source of life and vitality. He questions whether it is truly difficult to build a life on an island, potentially symbolizing a secluded and idyllic existence.
The song continues with Chelon describing their shared future, envisioning sleeping on the golden sand with the sun as their constant companion. The repetitive motif of the sea and its waves evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony. Their relationship is portrayed as a song they will sing together. As the lyrics come to a close, Chelon emphasizes that they will eventually realize that the future is like a memory - something to be cherished and experienced in the present moment. He believes that their relationship will continue to grow and flourish because of the person's influence, despite the challenges they may face.
Overall, "Toi" captures the deep emotional connection and dependency Chelon feels towards this person. They are the driving force behind his actions and thoughts, and he envisions a future full of love and shared experiences with them. The lyrics suggest a profound longing for intimacy, understanding, and a sense of completeness that can only be achieved with this person by his side.
