«Les choses d’en-face» saw the light of day : a first album of elegance and character, somewhere between chanson, pop and intimate almost jazzy ambiences. Raw lyrics, rich chords, melancholic melodies and a voice that caresses the listener...and a live show that sounds like it has plenty of rock and roll tension.

Joseph D'Anvers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je n'existe que pour d'autres terres
Je laisse les miens sans d'autres repères
Que quelques chagrins dans les veines
Kids are swinging out in heaven
Kids are swinging out in heaven
Torn apart by different fight
I'm walking in a summer time
I'm living but I don't know why
Perdu, apeuré par le jour
Les larmes sèchent ma peur du vide
Come alone and you'll be bright
Kids are singing in my mind
The lyrics in this song by Joseph D'Anvers convey a sense of disconnection and displacement, as the singer describes feeling lost and adrift in a world that is not his own. He exists only for other lands, and leaves behind only the traces of his own pain and sorrow. The imagery of the "kids" swinging in heaven serves as a contrast to this sense of despair, suggesting a kind of carefree innocence and joy that the singer can only observe from a distance.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of fragmentation and uncertainty, as if the singer is struggling to find his place in the world. He is torn apart by different fights, living without a clear purpose or direction. The reference to summer time might suggest a fleeting sense of pleasure or enjoyment, but it seems to be overshadowed by a deeper sense of confusion and anxiety.
The final lines of the song suggest that there is still a glimmer of hope, even amidst the darkness. The kids singing in the singer's mind might represent a kind of inner voice or inspiration that guides him forward. However, it remains uncertain whether he will be able to find his way out of his current sense of dislocation and despair.

Sous la chaleur, à l'envers,
Under the heat, upside down,
Je n'existe que pour d'autres terres
I only exist for other lands
Je laisse les miens sans autres repères
I leave mine without other landmarks
Que quelques chagrins dans les veines
Only a few sorrows in the veins
Kids are swinging out in heaven
Children are swinging in heaven
Kids are swinging out in heaven
Children are swinging in heaven
I'm living hope without a sight
I'm living with hope, even though I can’t see the way
Torn apart by different fight
Divided by multiple conflicts
I'm walking in a summer time
I'm walking in the summertime
I'm living but I don't know why
I'm alive, but I don't know why
Perdu, apeuré par le jour
Lost, fearful of the day
Les larmes sèchent ma peur du vide
Tears dry up my fear of emptiness
Come alone and you'll be bright
Come alone and you'll shine
Kids are singing in my mind

Trés bien, mais le refrain est pompé sur un titre qui ne me revient plus à l' esprit. Belle chanson néanmoins.
