Dans le vide
Lea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De tes mots, de tes mots qui sonnent faux
4 années, j'ai tenté d'avancer
Mais tu me tiens, me retiens sous l'eau
Non, j'ai plus envie de faire semblant
Non, les yeux fermés, je me lance
Mais tu me rattrapes, tu me relèves
Et me jettes par-dessus bord
Dans le vide, je me laisse couler
Je t'ai dans la peau
A la vie, à la mort
Fatigué, j'avais peur d'étouffer
Sous les coups, sous les coups de cœur sous pression
Fatigué, je sais plus comment gérer
La violence, la violence en implosion
Non, j'ai plus envie de faire semblant
Non, les yeux fermés, je me lance
Dans le vide, je me laisse tomber
Mais tu me rattrapes, tu me relèves
Et me jettes par-dessus bord
Dans le vide, je me laisse couler
Je t'ai dans la peau
A la vie, à la mort
Je continue d'avancer
Chaque pas que je fais est une victoire
Je continue d'avancer
Je vais pas te laisser gagner, je dois y croire
Dans le vide, je me laisse tomber
Dans le vide, je me laisse couler
Je t'ai dans la peau
Je t'ai dans la peau
Je t'ai dans la peau
Je t'ai dans la peau
Je t'ai dans la peau
Dans le vide, je me laisse tomber
Mais tu me rattrapes, tu me relèves
Et me jettes par-dessus bord
Dans le vide, je me laisse couler
Je t'tends la peau, à la vie, à la mort
The lyrics of Léa's song "Dans le vide" talk about a four-year relationship that has left the singer feeling trapped and suffocated. The first paragraph sets the tone, illustrating how the person's heart is tattooed with their partner's false words. Despite trying to move forward, they feel held back and submerged underwater by their partner's influence.
The chorus reflects the singer's desire to stop pretending and to take a leap into the unknown. They willingly let themselves fall into emptiness, but their partner always catches them and lifts them up, only to throw them overboard again. This cycle of being saved and then abandoned emphasizes the toxic and unstable nature of the relationship.
The second paragraph reveals the singer's exhaustion from the emotional and physical toll that this relationship has taken on them. They mention feeling afraid of suffocating under the pressure of intense emotions and are unsure how to handle the violence and explosions within the relationship.
Once again, the chorus repeats their willingness to let themselves fall and sink into emptiness, with the partner always being there to catch them. The phrase "Je t'ai dans la peau," which translates to "I have you under my skin," suggests that the singer is deeply attached to their partner despite the turmoil.
In the final part of the song, there is a shift in the singer's mindset. They declare their determination to keep moving forward and see each step as a victory. They refuse to let their partner win and choose to believe in themselves.
The chorus is repeated once more, emphasizing the singer's ongoing struggle to escape the cycle of being saved and abandoned. The line "Je t'tends la peau, à la vie, à la mort" translates to "I offer you my skin, in life, in death," revealing their deep emotional connection to their partner. Despite the difficulties, they express their commitment to the relationship, even if it means sacrificing themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dans le vide" portray a tumultuous and toxic relationship where the singer feels trapped and suffocated, yet still deeply attached. They navigate between moments of falling into emptiness and being lifted up, showing their struggle to break free from the destructive cycle. Ultimately, they find strength and determination to keep moving forward and believe in themselves.
