Poussieres de vie
Markize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dans ton regard chaud et doux, ta vie défile tout bas,
Quel est ce mal qui te ronge ? Qui te détruit pas à pas,
Rongeant vilement le reste de ta force, n'abandonne pas.
Je t'ai vu dans ton abyme chercher le temps, chercher l'issue,
Tu attends là croyant savoir, plongeant encore plus bas,
Quel est ce mal qui te ronge ? Qui te détruit malgré toi,
CHORUS
Cherchant la délivrance, j'ai trouvé la douleur
Je voulais simplement détruire ma peur,
Je ne peux plus combattre, me restant les larmes,
Pour seul accompagnateur..
Où est cette voix qui me guidait quand j'avais peur,
Dans mon enfance je puise mes derniers moments de bonheur,
Tu me tues, tu me suis,je te fuis, tu me nuis.
Chaque jour tu crois t'enfuir de ce que tu aimes parfois,
Ce plaisir destructeur qui te protèges, tu crois ?
Derrière ce masque éphémère que tu te construits avec ça,
Tu es encore plus fragile que tu crois,
Laisse la paix reprendre ton âme,
Tu abîmes la vie qui coule dans ta peau,
Envole- toi vers d'autres cieux,
Le mal qui t'abîme est ton obsession.
CHORUS
Je rassemble mes poussières de vie.
The song "Poussieres de vie" by Markize is a powerful expression of inner turmoil and the struggle to cope with emotional pain. The lyrics unveil the feeling of despair and hopelessness experienced by someone who is being consumed by a disease, probably a mental illness or addiction. The first verse describes a person whose body shivers like it has been pierced by cold winds. In their warm and gentle eyes, the whole of their life flashes by. The person is gradually being eaten up by an ailment that leaves them with no strength, and the lyricist encourages them not to give up.
The second verse speaks of watching the same person sinking deeper into their abyss in search of answers, only to find more despair. The lyrics imply that the person may be battling addiction or depression, and even though they know the source of their problem, they seem powerless to fight back. The chorus suggests that the only way to find relief is by embracing and confronting the pain, even if it means shedding tears.
The third verse reflects on how people try to mask their problems, only to be even more vulnerable. The lyricist calls on the person to seek inner peace and overcome the obsession with their ailment. The song's concluding line - "I gather my dust of life" - signifies the bravery and hope of the lyricist, who chooses to fight and overcome their struggles.
