Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Putain, il faut qu'je dorme, yeah)
(Il faut qu'je dorme, il faut qu'je dorme, il faut qu'je dorme)
(Faut qu'je dorme, yeah, putain, il)
Je n'sais plus fermer les yeux
Je vis mon rêve alors je ne dors pas, hmm-hmm
De peur d'n'pas exaucer mes vœux
Chaque fois qu'le téléphone sonne
Je raccroche et n'parle à personne
C'est à croire qu'j'suis devenue folle
Putain, il faut qu'je dorme
Je regarde ma vie de loin (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Je ne vais pas très bien (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Je m'inspire de ma douleur
Je ne regarde même plus l'heure
Que quelqu'un m'attrape avant que je m'en aille
Que quelqu'un m'attrape avant que je m'en aille
Je n'sais plus fermer les yeux
Je vis mon rêve alors je ne dors pas, hmm-hmm
De peur d'n'pas exaucer mes vœux
Je crie, m'épuise et manque de tabac, ouh-ouh
Chaque fois qu'le téléphone sonne
Je raccroche et n'parle à personne
C'est à croire qu'j'suis devenue folle
Putain, il faut qu'je dorme
Je brise les phases
Respire du gaz
Il faut que je m'évade
J'suis exécrable
Moins bavarde
Il faut qu'je change d'état
Je n'sais plus fermer les yeux
Je vis mon rêve alors je ne dors pas, hmm-hmm
De peur d'n'pas exaucer mes vœux
Je crie, m'épuise et manque de tabac, ouh-ouh
Chaque fois qu'le téléphone sonne
Je raccroche et n'parle à personne
C'est à croire qu'j'suis devenue folle
Putain, il faut qu'je dorme
(Putain, il faut qu'je, putain, il faut)
(Faut qu'je dorme, putain, il faut qu'je dorme)
(Putain, il faut qu'je dorme, yeah, putain, il faut qu'je dorme, yeah)
(Il faut qu'je dorme, il faut qu'je dorme, il faut qu'je dorme)
(Putain, il faut qu'je dorme, yeah)
The lyrics of "Téléphone sonne" by Lous And The Yakuza reflect the inner struggles and restlessness of the singer. The repeated phrase "Putain, il faut qu'je dorme" (Damn, I have to sleep) suggests a desperate need for rest and peace. However, the singer admits that she is unable to close her eyes and sleep because she is living her dream. This could imply that the artist is afraid of missing out on opportunities or not fulfilling her desires.
The fear of not fulfilling her wishes is accompanied by exhaustion and a lack of fulfillment. The mention of running out of tobacco might symbolize an unhealthy coping mechanism or addiction that contributes to her restlessness. The phrase "Chaque fois qu'le téléphone sonne, je raccroche et n'parle à personne" (Every time the phone rings, I hang up and don't talk to anyone) indicates a sense of isolation. It seems as though the singer avoids communication or connection, possibly due to a feeling of being overwhelmed.
The second verse highlights the singer's struggle to find balance and well-being. She distances herself from her own life and admits to not feeling well. The repetition of "Que quelqu'un m'attrape avant que je m'en aille" (Someone catch me before I leave) reveals a desire for someone to intervene and prevent her from spiraling further. The artist mentions breaking phases, inhaling gas, and the need to escape, suggesting a self-destructive behavior or an attempt to numb the pain.
Overall, "Téléphone sonne" portrays the internal chaos, exhaustion, and yearning for peace that the singer is experiencing. It reflects the tension between living a dream and the fear of missing out or not reaching her goals. The song also hints at the singer's potential struggles with addiction and a sense of isolation.
