Le Point de Non-Retour
Hante. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sous nos roues
Les lignes défilent
Devant nous
Il n'y a plus que du vide
Il sont à nos trousses
Depuis des nuits
Deux choix s'offrent à nous
La peur ou l'exil

Un regard en douce
Pour le meilleur ou pour le pire
Nous n'sommes pas des voyous
Nous resterons libres
Coûte que coûte
Ensemble on décide
D'aller jusqu'au bout
La fin se dessine

C'est peut-être la chute
Le point de non-retour




C'est peut-être la chute
Le point de non-retour

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hante.'s song "Le Point De Non-Retour" describe a situation where the characters are running away from something. They are driving fast, and the lines are passing them by, suggesting movement and urgency. Despite the speed at which they're going, there is a feeling of emptiness and hopelessness. The people chasing them have been following them for nights, which suggests that this is not a temporary situation. The characters are faced with two options: to be afraid or to leave everything behind and go into exile.


The mood of the song changes with the line "Un regard en douce." This line seems to suggest that the characters have made a decision to face their fears and stand their ground. They are not criminals, and they will not be forced to go against their moral beliefs. They promise to stay free, no matter the cost. Together they make the decision to keep going until the end, and the end is approaching. The line "C'est peut-être la chute, le point de non-retour" can be interpreted in many ways. It can be the end of their escape, the end of their troubles, the beginning of something new or an infinite number of other possibilities. The point of no return can be both terrifying and liberating. The song ends on that line, leaving the listener to draw their conclusions.

i totally loved this. I remember going to my job as a teacher before the pandemic, wearing my cloack and my platform boots, and listening to Hante at 6 am, when the skies look still so dark and everything feels so cold, exactly as the atmosphere of this video. Miss that days.
