Eclipse
Julien Granel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De s’arrêter sur toutes les aires d’autoroute.
Qui longeaient les plages,
Si vides elles me rappellent l’été, le mois d’août.
hey, je m’eclipse,
hey, soit pas triste
On a pas 20 ans,
on a pas encore vu le ciel de Milan
Ni fait le tour du monde,
on rentrera chez nous,
dehors, l’orage gronde.
Et puis dans mille ans,
tout tournera toujours encore, comme avant
même le tour du monde,
se fera sur des plages, de sable blanc
hey, je m’eclipse,
hey, soit pas triste
The lyrics of Julien Granel's song "Eclipse" reflects on the idea of taking a break from the mundane routine of life and enjoying the simpler things that life has to offer. The opening line "On a pris le temps, De s’arrêter sur toutes les aires d’autoroute" indicates that the singer and his companion have taken the time to enjoy their journey, pausing at every highway rest stop to appreciate the beautiful beaches that they come across. The empty beaches are symbolic of the passing of summer and evoke nostalgia for the singer.
The chorus of the song is a hopeful message to the listener to not be sad but to simply take the time to experience the beauty of life. The lines "hey, je m’eclipse, hey, soit pas triste" urges the listener to not feel sad or left out but to join in and experience the moment.
The last verse of the song brings forth the idea of timelessness, highlighting the fact that even after a thousand years, the rotation of the world will still continue, and the beaches, with their beautiful white sand, would still be there for people to enjoy. Overall, the song encourages the listener to take a step back and appreciate the present moment, create beautiful memories, and relish the beauty of the world that surrounds them.
