Impossible
Les Acrobates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The colour of your eyes
You say : impossible
And I look around you
The blue drowsed clouds
I close your eyes
I want the blond
You say : impossible
I ran once fingers through it
Your blond is my light
You trim your hair
Baby,
When you creep into my bed
What's the colour of your dream
And in the night my dear
Is there a rainbow in our sky ?
I want the transparent
To see the colour of your heart
you say : impossible
I put my lips on the glass
Transparent in Champagne
You drink my heart
You want the french
The colour of language
I say : impossible
Et je reste sans mot dire
J'ai le français en cavale
Et pour l'amour
I play with this language
impossible
tam tam tam tam
tam tam tam
Baby,
When you creep into my bed
What's the colour of your dream
And in the night my dear
Is there a rainbow in our sky ?
Impossible.
The song "Impossible" by Les Acrobates talks about the desire of the singer to have certain things that seem impossible to get. Each stanza represents a different desire - wanting the blue of the person's eyes, wanting the blond of their hair, wanting to see the color of their heart, and wanting to speak French like them. However, each time the person says it's impossible to have these things, and the singer tries to find something else to represent their desire. In the end, the lyrics circle back to the chorus, with the repeated "impossible" indicating the theme of unattainable desires throughout the entire song.
The lyrics are full of imagery that complements and contrasts with the desires expressed by the singer. The blue of the person's eyes is related to the blue drowsed clouds, while the blond of their hair is compared to light. The desire to see the color of the person's heart is met with a reference to a champagne glass, creating a unique and intriguing metaphor. The singer also refers to the French language as a desire, which gives a glimpse into the relationship between the two people.
Overall, the song "Impossible" is a poignant and reflective ballad about longing, desire, and the impossibility of obtaining everything we want. The lyrics are poetic and filled with unique and intriguing imagery that captures the essence of the singer's desire.

Ah Les Acrobates !!! C'était vraiment des bons, de si belles chansons. Tellement triste que les trois albums soient introuvables sur le net. Tout ce qu'ils ont fait est si beau !!!
