Fox
Karim Ouellet Lyrics

The lyrics of Karim Ouellet's song "Fox" tell the story of someone who is waiting for something and someone special. The opening lines convey a sense of isolation and expectation, as the singer is hidden in high grass, waiting for someone without knowing who they are or what they look like. The next lines express a lack of direction or ambition, with the singer not dreaming of prose or becoming an astronaut, being uninterested in the beauty of roses, but still, they are waiting for something. The chorus repeats the phrase "Réponds-moi," asking where the fresh water and love are, as they seem to have gone away. The singer expresses hope for the return of the one they are waiting for.

The second verse describes the singer's lack of flexibility and certainty, watching couples passing by, drinking at a source under the constellation Ursa Major, waiting for their last breath, and crying slowly. The chorus repeats, starting with "Donne-moi ma chance," asking for a chance from the "belle bienveillante" (beautiful benevolent one). The singer states that they are no longer like the others and asks for their rose, not to leave.

The lyrics of "Fox" are open to various interpretations. However, they seem to speak of the universal hunger for connection, love, and purpose. The song suggests that people are waiting for someone special, even if they don't know who, where, or when someone like that will arrive. The song expresses a feeling of hope and vulnerability, as the singer waits and hopes for someone or something to come, refusing to give up.
