Les secondes qui se défilent
Les regards qui se taisent
Et moi malhabile
Un peu mal à l'aise
J'observe le monde
Et ne sachant que faire
Je m'allume une blonde
Et m'ouvre une bière

Et j'entends les bombes
De l'autre boute de la Terre
Et moi dans ce monde
Que puis-je bien faire?

Je vais faire saigner les mots
Et m'envoyer en l'air
M'éloigner des idéaux
Et de la stratosphère
Je ne veux faire qu'aimer
Et contempler le ciel
Pour le voir s'embraser
Quand on se dit "je t'aime"

Les pas qui se défilent
Et les passants se taisent
Et moi malhabile
Un peu mal à l'aise
J'observe le monde
Et ne sachant que faire
Je compte les heures
Et m'accroche aux sourires
Mais j'en ai bien peur
Les gens ne savent plus rire
Et nous dans ce monde
On a pourtant besoin de rire

Je vais faire saigner les mots
Et m'envoyer en l'air
M'éloigner des idéaux
Et de la stratosphère
Je ne veux faire qu'aimer
Et contempler le ciel
Pour le voir s'embraser
Quand on se dit "je t'aime"

Je vais faire saigner les mots
Et m'envoyer en l'air
M'éloigner des idéaux
Et de la stratosphère
Je ne veux faire qu'aimer
Et contempler le ciel

Pour le voir s'embraser
Quand on se dit "je t'aime"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Louane's song "Blonde" describe a feeling of disconnection and uncertainty in the midst of a chaotic world. The first verse paints a picture of the singer observing the world around them, feeling uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. They light a cigarette and open a beer in an attempt to distract themselves from the bombs they hear exploding on the other side of the planet. The chorus, which repeats twice throughout the song, expresses the singer's desire to "bleed words" and "fly high", to escape from the pressures of society and to focus on love and the beauty of the world.

The second verse expands on the feeling of disconnection, with the singer watching other people walking by and sensing that they too are uncomfortable and unsure. They count the hours and cling to small moments of joy, but fear that people have lost the ability to laugh. Despite all of this, the chorus remains the same, emphasizing the singer's determination to focus on love and beauty.

Overall, "Blonde" is a poignant commentary on the struggle to maintain hope and connection in a troubled world. Through its mixture of melancholic verses and hopeful chorus, it captures the complexity of these emotions and offers a powerful message of resilience and love in the face of adversity.
