Nicaragua
Klô Pelgag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T'es allé loin dans l'aéroport
Tu voulais cracher dans l'océan
Mais ton avion a peur des départs
Je t'ai cherché dans tous les volcans
Ceux qu'on éteignait en se prenant
Je suis foutue, ils ne meurent pas
T'as recollé ton décollage
T'as enragé les orages
Au Nicaragua, chaque fois
Tu fais pleurer les nuages
T'as couru vers moi
Écrasé l'avion
Cassé tes chevilles
Puis t'as roulé
Dans ta chaise
Vers la ville
J'ai pris mon élan
T'as pris tes jambes à ton cou
Y a des espions dans la forêt
Des pendules pendus à tes secrets
Si tu voyais tout ce que je vois
Tu croirais pas au Nicaragua
Tu croirais pas au Nicaragua
The song "Nicaragua" by Klo Pelgag seems to be about a failed attempt at traveling to Nicaragua. The first verse suggests that the singer's companion wanted to see Nicaragua and even made it to the airport but was unable to leave due to fear. The singer then searches for their companion in "all the volcanoes," perhaps a metaphor for searching through all the possibilities, but realizes they cannot be found. The singer is left feeling stuck in Nicaragua, burning still with unfulfilled desire.
The second verse continues with the theme of inability and failure, with lines like "T'as recollé ton décollage" which means "you reattached your takeoff," implying a lack of progress or regression. The person's attempts to leave the country also resulted in angering the weather and making the clouds cry. The last part of the verse suggests a physical injury, with the line "Cassé tes chevilles" meaning "broken your ankles," perhaps representing the obstacles and injuries that can come with trying to leave a difficult situation. The final verse mentions spies in the forest and secrets on pendulums, adding to the sense of danger and mistrust. The song seems to convey the frustration and difficulty of trying to escape a place or situation that feels oppressive or insurmountable.
