Bascule avec moi
Marc Lavoine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu n'oses pas te laisser faire,
Tu l'as jamais fait
Pourtant tu te couches parterre
En secret
Tu n'oses pas toucher ton corps
T'as peur de grandir
Pourtant le soir quand tu t'endors
Tu te fais rougir, tu te fais rougir

Bascule avec moi, bascule
Si tu as chaud en toi,
C'est l'amour qui te br�le
Si tu as chaud comme ca
Bascule avec moi, bascule
Si tu as chaud en toi,
C'est l'amour qui te br�le
Si tu as chaud comme ca
Bascule

Tu n'oses pas aller jusqu'au bout
tu l'as jamais fait
Pourtant tu te moques de tout
En secret
Tu n'oses pas donner ton corps
Ta peur de t'ouvrir
Pourtant le soir quand tu t'endors
tu te fais souffrir, tu te fais souffrir

Bascule avec moi, bascule
Si tu as chaud en toi,
C'est l'amour qui te br�le
Si tu as chaud comme ca
Bascule avec moi, bascule
Si tu as chaud en toi,
C'est l'amour qui te br�le

Si tu as chaud comme ca
Bascule

Overall Meaning

In Marc Lavoine's song "Bascule avec moi," the lyrics paint a picture of a person who is hesitant to let go and give into their desires. Despite this, they find ways to secretly satisfy themselves. The first verse talks about how the person is afraid to touch their own body and "grow up". However, at night when they are alone and asleep, they still find ways to arouse themselves, but it is done in secret.

The second verse reveals that the person is dismissive of everything and everyone around them, but they still won't give themselves fully to anyone. They are afraid to open up and give their body because it's too much of a risk. Again, the night time is where they find themselves experiencing pain instead of pleasure.

The chorus "Bascule avec moi" roughly translates to "Fall with me" or "Swing with me" invites the other person to let go and give into their desires. The reason for their hesitance is revealed - the person has been burned by love before, and the warm feelings they are experiencing are a result of that love. The song is an invitation to let go and swing with the person singing.

Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of wanting to break free from their fears but being held back by the memories of hurt from the past.
