Uncomfortable
Mélanie Laurent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reprendre ta place
Je connais ce regard
Je connais ce regard
Et tu me dis
Que tu sais tout
Que tu regrettes
Le temp sans nous
You fall on me
Like firewood
Just like you should
Just like you should
But it's too late
I'm no longer fool
Just uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
It's just like me (Mais c'est trop tard)
To let you down (Et c'est sans moi)
To walk away (Je te regarde)
To fool around (Vouloir ma main)
It's just like you (Mais c'est trop tard)
To bring me back (Et c'est sans moi)
To cry like this (Tu l'as perdue)
Into the cracks (Au moins cent fois)
The lyrics of the song "Uncomfortable" by Mélanie Laurent reveal a story of two people reuniting after some time apart. The first verse talks about how the other person is returning to take their place back and the singer recognizes this familiar look and they are told that the person knows everything and regrets the time without each other. The second verse tells us that the person falls on the singer like firewood and the singer feels uncomfortable by this gesture. In the chorus, the singer states that it's too late and he/she is no longer a fool for this person. The following line repeats the phrase "uncomfortable" which indicates the singer's uneasiness with the situation.
The bridge repeats the phrase "it's just like me" and "it's just like you," highlighting how both characters have made mistakes in the relationship. But the words "it's too late" assures that there can't be another chance. The song has a melancholic vibe and the lyrics are delivered with a sense of resignation, reflecting the unresolved emotions between the two people involved.
