Incendie
Klô Pelgag Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tes doigts me taisent
Je ne peux plus parler
Tes bras m'apaisent
Je peux respirer
Mon corps est lourd
Tu sais le porter
Tu me demandes la vérité
Je t'aime toujours même quand je dors

Et ton odeur est mon parfum

J'entre par ta fenêtre à tous les soirs
Tous les soirs
Je crois que tu m'attends tous les soirs
Tu fais de très beaux anges dans la neige
Dans la neige
J'aime dormir dans tes anges dans la neige

Tes mains sont tombées sur ma tête
Tu veux me changer les idées
Tu dis que mes cheveux de Bengale

Sont un bel incendie
Tes mains s'envolent sur mon ventre

Attention à l'atterrissage
Tes mains découvrent mon visage

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Klo Pelgag's song "Incendie" are a beautiful and haunting portrayal of a love that is all-consuming and overwhelming. The singer's lover is the only person who can silence her with a touch of the fingers, allowing her to breathe freely. The lyrics suggest that the singer is carrying a heavy burden, most likely emotional, and her lover is the only one who can offer solace. Despite the fact that the singer is sometimes asleep, her love for her partner never fades, and she finds comfort in his scent, which has become her perfume.

The following lines speak of the singer's nightly visits to her lover's house, where she believes he is waiting for her. She describes the beautiful angels her partner creates in the snow, which she finds soothing and nurturing to her soul. The singer's lover wants to offer her comfort and respite from the Bengale fire that is consuming her mind. He tells her that her hair is like a beautiful fire, which can also be interpreted as a metaphor for the passion and intensity of their love. The second stanza ends with the lover's hands moving over the singer's body, exploring it tenderly.
