Le sol
Les Blérots de R.A.V.E.L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
com un cos sense forma,
com un so sense to,
i amb l'ombra a les espatlles.
Ni un pas enrere ni un pas endavant.
I no sé com però sempre acabo avançant.
Entenc sense aprendre,
Em moc sense acció,
i el sol a les entranyes.
Vine amb mi, fem camí, arribem junts al destí.
Crits de zel, banys de mel i al final, tu i jo.
The first verse of Les Blérots de R.A.V.E.L's song Le sol describes a person or possibly the singer themselves as being like a square without angles or a formless body, a sound without tone, and carrying a shadow on their shoulders. Despite being in this state, they don't move backward or forward but always end up advancing, although they don't know how. The second line of the verse seems to signify a sense of uncertainty, maybe even anxiety. This description gives the impression of a person lost or in search of defining qualities, someone who is still in the process of becoming.
The second part of the verse goes on to say that they can understand without the need for learning, and they can move without action, while still conquering heat and stillness. It presents a paradox of sorts where one can do things without necessarily possessing the physical qualities to do so. The last part of the verse invites the listener to come along and create a journey together, filled with passion, love, and sweetness.
The song's lyrics create an impressionistic, dream-like feeling where the imagery is open to interpretation. The words present a theme of constant motion, uncertainty, and searching, coupled with the comfort of companionship. The line "Crits de zel, banys de mel," translated to "Shouts of zeal, baths of honey," creates an allusion to the idea of passion and sweetness. The lyrics' repetitiveness and use of simile and metaphor create a poetic and almost hypnotic vibe.
