App'lez la Police
Jean Schultheis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
App'lez la police y'a un enfant qui pleure
App'lez la police pour l'amour qui se meurt
App'lez la police quelqu'un tue le bonheur
Je vis seul au centième étage
Et j'ai la tête au milieu des nuages
Le vent qui n'est pas toujours sage
Et le soleil ne vient plus dorer ma cage
App'lez la police la terre tourne à l'envers
App'lez la police y'a une odeur de guerre
App'lez la police la vie tourne à l'enfer
App'lez la police je veux revoir la mer
Ici la police parlez
Allô, allô, je vous entends mal
Ici la police parlez
Allô, venez vite, je me sens mal
Articulez S.V.P.
J'ai perdu la lune et les étoiles
On comprend rien, raccrochez
Même le téléphone est détraqué !
App'lez la police on marche sur la lune
App'lez la police y'a du sang à la une
App'lez la police on meurt sur le bitume
App'lez la police on a volé mes tunes
L'amour n'était que de passage
J'ai pas pu mettre le bonheur en cage
Et le soleil est prisonnier des nuages
App'lez la police on a volé mon cœur
App'lez la police y'a un enfant qui pleure
App'lez la police on a volé son cœur
App'lez la police y'a un enfant qui pleure
App'lez la police pour l'amour qui se meurt
App'lez la police quelqu'un tue le bonheur
App'lez la police pour l'amour qui se meurt
App'lez la police quelqu'un tue le bonheur
Jean Schultheis's song App'lez la Police (Call the Police) is a reflection of the chaos and turmoil in the world, where the singer pleads for the police to come to the rescue. The song starts with the refrain "App'lez la police on a volé mon cœur" (Call the police, they stole my heart), which can be interpreted as the loss of love or the feeling of being heartbroken. The song progresses with a plea to the police to address the various issues troubling the world. Schultheis sings about his isolation and loneliness, living on the hundredth floor with his head in the clouds. The artist also mentions how he is haunted by terrible images and that the sunshine no longer brightens his life.
The central idea of the song is Schultheis calling the police to address the social and political issues affecting the world, including the smell of war, life turning into hell, and the death of happiness. The artist uses metaphorical references to highlight these issues, such as "on marche sur la lune" (walking on the moon), "y'a une odeur de guerre" (there's a smell of war), and "la vie tourne à l'enfer" (life turns into hell). Seemingly, the world has turned upside down, and only the police can fix it.
In conclusion, Jean Schultheis's App'lez la Police conveys a sense of helplessness and an appeal to the authorities to solve the problems of the world. The song is metaphorical, reflecting the issues of the world in poetic language. Schultheis pleads with the police to help restore love and bring back the simple joys of life.
