Indélébile
Kenza Farah Lyrics

In Kenza Farah's "Indélébile," the lyrics express a sense of isolation and disillusionment within society. The opening line, "Est ce que quelqu'un m'entend?" ("Does anyone hear me?"), sets the tone of feeling unheard and disconnected from those around her. The verses describe the paradoxical situation of people coming together while also being torn apart, and the struggle to remain whole within this chaos. The chorus repeats the lines "Et je traîne ma peine dans les rue de ma Ville, Retranscris ma haine à l'encre indélébile, J'écris pour ne pas crier Et je prie pour ne pas plier" which translate to "And I drag my pain through the streets of my city, Transcribe my hate in indelible ink, I write so as not to scream And I pray not to break." This implies that the singer is alone in dealing with her pain and that writing is her only outlet for release.

The lyrics also touch on the loss of important things like promises and love, and the longing to regain these things. "Où sont passés Les poèmes et les promesses? Le temps a chassé, Nos cris et nos S.O.S" translates to "Where have the poems and promises gone? Time has driven away our cries and S.O.S." This indicates that even in a world where people come together, there's still a lack of communication and a breakdown of intimate relationships. The singer yearns to believe in love again and see an "étincelle" ("spark") in the reflection of society.

Overall, "Indélébile" captures the disillusionment and isolation that comes with feeling unheard and disconnected from society. The singer's use of writing to cope with her pain emphasizes the importance of finding outlets for expression and release in the midst of chaos.
