Wherever
Halo Maud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
des mots tenaces
du bout des doigts
prenais ta place
dans tous les creux
j'ai trouvé des traces
it made me want to be wherever you were
it made me want to be wherever you were
te cherche parfois
je cours et le froid t'efface
The lyrics of "Wherever" by Halo Maud is about the infatuation felt towards a person who has left a mark (both literally and figuratively) in one's life. The first two lines speak of the person writing "tenacious words" on the singer's body using their fingers. This could be interpreted as the act of tracing words on someone's skin, which could be sensual or intimate. The words left a mark that could not be easily forgotten, and the singer found pieces of themself in every corner, imprinting "traces" of the person. The chorus speaks of the desire to be wherever this person is, it's a yearning that can't be controlled or stopped by either running or the cold.
The third line hints at the nature of their relationship with the words, "te cherche parfois" which translates to "I sometimes look for you." Showing that when the person is gone, the singer tries to find them through the memories of what they shared. The last line gives a hint about the missing person drifting away because of the "le froid," meaning "cold" in French which could be a metaphor for the distance between the two. Overall, the song is about the irresistible urge to be close to someone who has left an unforgettable mark even in their absence.

Je suis fasciné par ton art, tu peux ressentir des influences de mélodie et de beach house, mais tu le fais à ta façon et c'est incroyable. Salutations du Mexique
