Sous les projectiles
Mara Tremblay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Courent les heures finalement
Il y a si longtemps que j'ai touché ta peau
Plus que trois nuits
Et quatre jours
Pour que tu reviennes
Sous les projectiles
Et la chimie de la vitesse
Est parfaite
Si je m'ennuie de cette ivresse
Plus que trois nuits
Et quatre jours
Pour que tu reviennes
Sous les projectiles
Que passe le temps
Que courent les heures rapidement
Il y a trop longtemps que j'ai touché ta peau
Plus que trois nuits
Et quatre jours
Pour que tu reviennes
Sous les projectiles
The song "Sous les projectiles" by Mara Tremblay is a poignant reflection on longing and yearning for a lover who is far away. The lyrics describe the passing of time and the feeling of being separated from the person that the singer deeply cares about. The opening lines of "Passe le temps, Courent les heures finalement" establish that time is moving slowly and painfully for the singer. They are anxiously awaiting the return of their loved one, having not touched their skin in what seems like an eternity.
The lyrics "Et la chimie de la vitesse est parfaite si je m'ennuie de cette ivresse" suggest that the singer is trying to cope with the distance by turning to chemical means of distraction. The use of the word "ivresse" (drunkenness) implies that they are trying to forget the pain of separation through some form of intoxication. The repetition of the line "Plus que trois nuits Et quatre jours Pour que tu reviennes Sous les projectiles" heightens the sense of anticipation and longing that the singer feels, emphasizing the fact that they are counting down the days until they can be reunited with their loved one.
Overall, "Sous les projectiles" is a beautifully written and emotionally charged song that captures the pain and frustration of being separated from someone you care deeply about. Mara Tremblay's haunting voice and poetic lyrics combine to create a powerful sonic experience that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the agony of distance in a relationship.
