Ton désamour
Marilou Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J′ai un peu de mal à respirer
Et j'ai l′impression de m'enfoncer
Pourquoi tu ne fais que regarder
Tu me regardes lentement couler

J'ai un peu de mal à m′affaiblir
Je ne rêve pas pour pas souffrir
Ce n′est pas facile d'entendre dire

Que ça devait bien finir par finir
Que ça devait bien finir par finir
Ce n′est pas facile

Ton désamour
Il m'est insupportable
Ton désamour
Il m′est intolérable
Le demi-tour
Le demi-tour que tu fais pour m'éviter
Vient m′achever
Tu sais

J'ai un peu de mal à retenir
Ces larmes qui ne veulent pas se tarir
Ce n'est pas facile d′entendre dire
Que ça devait bien finir par finir
Que ça devait bien finir par finir

Ton désamour
Il m′est insupportable
Ton désamour
Il m'est intolérable
Le demi-tour
Le demi-tour que tu fais pour m′éviter
Vient m'achever
Tu sais

Ton désamour
Un mur infranchissable
Ton désamour
Il m′est insurmontable
Le demi-tour
Le demi-tour que tu fais pour m'éviter
Vient m′achever
Tu sais

J'ai besoin de temps
Pour m'y faire
Vas-y doucement (vas-y doucement)
J′ai besoin de temps
Mais pas d′une guerre

Ton désamour
Il m'est insupportable
Ton désamour
Il m′est intolérable
Le demi-tour
Le demi-tour que tu fais pour m'éviter
Vient m′achever
Tu sais

Ton désamour
Un mur infranchissable
Ton désamour
Il m'est insurmontable
Le demi-tour
Le demi-tour que tu fais pour m′éviter
Vient m'achever
Tu sais

Le désamour
Le pire instant de ma vie
Le désamour
Le pire instant de ma vie

Le désamour
Le pire instant de ma vie...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Marilou's song Ton désamour describe the feeling of drowning in the pain of a failed relationship while the other person watches without intervening. The singer feels like they are sinking, struggling to breathe, and weakening. They plead for the other person to stop avoiding them and face what has happened in their relationship. The singer also speaks of the difficulty of accepting that the end of the relationship was inevitable, and hearing those words from the other person is painful. The title "Ton désamour" translates into "Your unlove" which implies that the other person's withdrawal and avoidance is causing immense pain to the singer.

The repetition of the phrase "le demi-tour," or the turnaround, highlights the other person's reluctance to face the singer and deal with the situation properly. The singer feels like they cannot move forward or heal until the other person confronts the issues and talks through them. The phrase "j'ai besoin de temps" or "I need time" is repeated, indicating that the singer needs time to heal, but not at the cost of a war or drama that could make recovery even harder.

Overall, Ton désamour is a poignant portrayal of the pain of unreciprocated love and the struggle to come to terms with the end of a relationship.
