Le sexe des étoiles
Klô Pelgag Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je n'ai jamais voulu te pendre entre mes cuisses
La corde s'était fanée autour de ton cou
J'ai attendu trois jours sur le bord d'un fossé

À manger des flocons de tempête

Quand tu es revenu, je dormais déjà bien
J'aspirais l'alcool en un souffle amazonien

C'était l'hiver sur la langue de chaque bouche
Dans les lits de sueurs immenses
Dans les cendres de la chambre
Dans les fentes fatiguées par le plaisir

Et ton corps planté sous la neige
Devine le sexe des étoiles
Et ta bouche tachée de vin me crie:
Je veux me perdre avec toi

Il n'y aura pas d'otages cette fois
C'est la fin de ce tout ce qui ne finissait pas

Tout ce qui fait du bien me fait du mal, me fait du mal
Je ne veux plus de ton amour
Mais je veux te toucher à tous les jours

Et ton corps bandé sous la neige
Devine le sexe des étoiles

Et ta bouche tachée de vin me crie
Je veux me perdre avec toi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klo Pelgag's song LE SEXE DES ETOILES (The Sex of the Stars) convey an intense and complex mixture of emotions and images. The first stanza describes a scene of violence and despair, with the singer expressing her reluctance to engage in sexual intimacy and instead waiting in misery for her partner to return. The second stanza is more sensual, with the singer describing the pleasure and pain of sexual connection, and the desire to touch her partner every day. The final lines suggest both a longing for connection and a need for release, as the singer declares that there will be no more hostages, and everything that never ended has now come to an end.

The imagery throughout the song is striking and often surreal, with snow, stars, and wine all serving as metaphors for love, desire, and pain. The use of stark contrasts, such as between the violence of the first stanza and the sensuality of the second, adds to the overall sense of emotional complexity and tension.

Overall, LE SEXE DES ETOILES is a powerful exploration of the many conflicting emotions that can arise in intimate relationships, from violence and despair to pleasure and longing, and the need for both connection and release.

Je n'ai jamais voulu te pendre entre mes cuisses
I never wanted to hold you between my legs

La corde s'était fanée autour de ton cou
The rope had withered around your neck

J'ai attendu trois jours sur le bord d'un fossé
I waited three days on the edge of a ditch

À manger des flocons de tempête
Eating snowflakes of the storm

Dans les lits de sueurs immenses
In beds of immense sweat

Dans les cendres de la chambre
In the ashes of the room

Dans les fentes fatiguées par le plaisir
In the cracks worn out by pleasure

Et ton corps planté sous la neige
And your body planted under the snow

Devine le sexe des étoiles
Guess the gender of the stars

Et ta bouche tachée de vin me crie:
And your wine-stained mouth screams at me:

Je veux me perdre avec toi
I want to lose myself with you

Il n'y aura pas d'otages cette fois
There will be no hostages this time

C'est la fin de ce tout ce qui ne finissait pas
This is the end of everything that never ended

Tout ce qui fait du bien me fait du mal, me fait du mal

Mais je veux te toucher à tous les jours
But I want to touch you every day

Et ton corps bandé sous la neige
And your body tensed under the snow

Devine le sexe des étoiles
Guess the gender of the stars

Et ta bouche tachée de vin me crie
And your wine-stained mouth screams at me

Je veux me perdre avec toi
I want to lose myself with you
