J'me tire
Gims Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parfois je sens mon cœur qui s'endurcit
C'est triste à dire mais plus rien ne m'attriste
Laisse-moi partir loin d'ici
Pour garder le sourire, je me disais que y'a pire
Si c'est comme ça, bah fuck la vie d'artiste
Je sais que ça fait cliché de dire qu'on est pris pour cible
Mais je veux le dire juste pour la rime
Je me tire dans un endroit où je serai pas le suspect
Après je vais changer de nom comme Cassius Clay
Un endroit où j'aurai plus besoin de prendre le mic'
Un endroit où tout le monde s'en tape de ma life
Je me tire, ne me demande pas pourquoi je suis parti sans motif
Parfois je sens mon cœur qui s'endurcit
C'est triste à dire mais plus rien ne m'attriste
Laisse-moi partir loin d'ici
Pour garder le sourire, je me disais que y'a pire
Si c'est comme ça, bah fuck la vie d'artiste
Je sais que ça fait cliché de dire qu'on est pris pour cible

Vos interviews m'ont donné trop de maux de tête
La vérité c'est que je me auto-déteste
Faut que je préserve tout ce qu'il me reste
Et tous ces gens qui voudraient prendre mon tél'
Allez leur dire que je suis pas leur modèle
Merci à ceux qui disent "Meu-gui on t'aime

The song "J'me tire" by Gims Maitre, which translates to "I'm leaving" in English, is a poignant expression of the artist's desire to escape the trappings of his fame and the pressures that come with it. The lyrics describe a sense of disillusionment and hurt, suggesting that the artist has been the victim of criticism and unwanted attention. The chorus, in particular, is a plea for freedom from the public eye and from the constraints of his own reality.
In the verses, Gims Maitre talks about his hopelessness despite his fame, the need to break free from public scrutiny and the pain of feeling betrayed by friends who no longer care for him. He also talks about his fear of being rejected and his need to preserve what is left of his humanity. The song ultimately serves as a message of self-preservation, urging the artist to seek refuge in a place where he can regain his sense of self and protect his mental health.
Overall, the song highlights the challenges and sacrifices that come with being a celebrity, and the need to find balance between personal and professional life. It also speaks to the universal human desire for freedom and individuality.

English lyrics:
I'm out
Don't ask me why I just left like that
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing makes me sad anymore
Let me go far away from here
To keep smiling, I tell myself it could be worse
But if it's like this, well then fuck the artist's life
I know it's cliche to say they want me clapped in chrome
But I've gotta say it for the sake of this song
I'm leaving for a place they'll never find me
Then I'll change my name like Cassius Clay
To a place I'll never need to take the mic
To a place where no one cares about my life
I'm out
Don't ask me why I just left like that
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing makes me sad anymore
Let me go far away from here
To keep smiling, I tell myself it could be worse
But if it's like this, well then fuck the artist's life
I know it's cliche to say they want me clapped in chrome
But I've gotta say it for the sake of this song
If I stay, one day they'll avoid me like the plague
Your interviews have given me too many headaches
The truth is, I hate myself
I've got to preserve what's left of me
And all these people who want my number
Tell them I'm not their role model
Thanks to those who said "Meugui, we love you
Even though you're black"
I'm leaving for a place they'll never find me
Then I'll change my name like Cassius Clay
To a place I'll never need to take the mic
To a place where no one cares about my life
I'm out
Don't ask me why I just left like that
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing makes me sad anymore
Let me go far away from here
To keep smiling, I tell myself it could be worse
But if it's like this, well then fuck the artist's life
I know it's cliche to say they want me clapped in chrome
But I've gotta say it for the sake of this song
I've left, without lying, didn't ask myself
What will become of me?
Stop, don't think more about it Meugui
Stop, don't think, just go!
Left without lying, didn't ask myself
What will become of me?
Stop, don't think more about it Meugui
Stop, don't think, just go!
I'm out
Don't ask me why I just left like that
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing makes me sad anymore

Hey, here are the lyrics of the song in English. "J'me tire" means "I withdraw myself". Enjoy this beautiful song!
I withdraw myself, dont ask me why I left without a reason
sometimes I feel my heart harden itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad
Let me leave far from here
In order to preserve my smile, I tell myself I've had worse than this
If it's like this, then fuck the artist's life
I know it's a cliche to say one is chosen as a goal
But I just want to say this just for the rhyme
I withdraw, to a place where I won't be suspected
Then I will change my name, just like Cassius Clay
A place where I won't feel the need to take the microphone
A place where the whole world care about my life
I withdraw myself, dont ask me why I left without a reason
sometimes I feel my heart harden itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad
Let me leave far from here
In order to preserve my smile, I tell myself I've had worse than this
If it's like this, then fuck the artist's life
I know it's a cliche to say one is chosen as a goal
But I just want to say this just for the rhyme
If I'd stay, the people would avoid me like the plague
Your interviews just gave me more headaches
The truth is that I hate myself
It's necessary that I preserve all that I have left
And to all the people who want to have my telephone number
tell them that I'm not their role model
Thanks to them who say "we love you despite of your black colour"
I withdraw, to a place where I won't be suspected
Then I will change my name, just like Cassius Clay
A place where I won't feel the need to take the microphone
A place where the whole world won't care about my life
I withdraw myself, dont ask me why I left without a reason
sometimes I feel my heart harden itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad
Let me leave far from here
In order to preserve my smile, I tell myself I've had worse than this
If it's like this, then fuck the artist's life
I know it's a cliche to say one is chosen as a goal
But I just want to say this just for the rhyme
I have left without lying,
without asking myself "What will I become?"
Stop! Don't think, Meugui
Stop! Don't think, just leave
Left without lying, without asking myself "What will I become?"
Stop! Don't think, Meugui
Stop! Don't think, just leave
I withdraw myself, dont ask me why I left without a reason
sometimes I feel my heart harden itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad

@juliasaliaj5727
I'm outta here.. don't ask me why I left without reason
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad anymore
Let me head off to (someplace) far from here
In order to keep my smile, I tell myself it could be worse 1
If it's like this, then fuck the artist's life
I know it's cliche to say one has a target on his back 2
But I just want to say it for the rhyme
I head out to a place where I won't be suspected
Then I'll change my name, just like Cassius Clay
A place where I won't feel the need to take the microphone
A place where no one will give a damn about my life
I'm outta here; don't ask me why I left without reason
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad anymore
Let me head off to (someplace) far from here
In order to keep my smile, I tell myself it could be worse
If it's like this, then fuck the artist's life
I know it's cliche to say one has a target on his back
But I just want to say it for the rhyme
If I stay, people will just avoid me like the plague
Your interviews have given me too many headaches
The truth is that I hate myself
I must protect everything that's still left 3
And to all the people who want to have my phone number
I tell them that I'm not their role model
Thanks to those who say "we love you despite of your black color"
I head out to a place where I won't be suspected

@SuperMrtacos
I withdraw myself
[Chorus]
I withdraw myself; I wonder why I left without a reason
sometimes I feel my heart harden itself
It's sad to say that nothing makes me sad
Let me leave far from here
In order to preserve my smile, I tell myself I've had worse than this
If it's like this, then fuck the artist's life
