Plexus solaire
Mara Tremblay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vous avez dû baisser les bras
Les combattants sont de retour en ville
Les carillons dans le plexus solaire
Sonnent, sonnent
Armes de doutes et fins de saisons
Se goûtent dans l'eau de poison
Les bataillons dans le plexus solaire
Frappent, frappent
Vous avez peine à tenir debout
Vos jambes saignent, comment allez-vous
Cette croisade se termine en ville
Les carillons dans le plexus solaire
Sonnent, sonnent
The lyrics of Mara Tremblay's song "Plexus solaire" speak of a battle that has ended with the defeat of the fighters. The weapons have fallen, the combatants have given up and returned to the city, their spirits broken. The sounds of the bells in the solar plexus ring out as a reminder of the defeat. The solar plexus is a complex nervous system of nerves that are located in the abdomen and are connected to the emotions and mental state of an individual. Here, the bells ringing in the solar plexus symbolize the emotional and mental anguish of the defeated fighters.
The second verse of the song describes the aftermath of the battle. The weapons may have been put down, but doubt and uncertainty still linger in the minds of the defeated. Poisonous waters are tasted, indicating the struggle of coming to terms with the defeat. The final tournament is about to take place in the city, and the battalions in the solar plexus strike with intensity. The emotions and mental state of the fighters are still raw and overwhelming.
The chorus continues with the description of the after-effects of the battle. The fighters have a hard time standing, their legs are bleeding, and the croisade (crusade) has ended in the city. The bells continue to ring in the solar plexus, a heartbreaking reminder of the defeat.
Overall, the lyrics of "Plexus solaire" by Mara Tremblay speak of the defeat of a battle and the emotional and mental turmoil that follows. The solar plexus serves as a symbol for the emotions and mental state of the defeated fighters.
