Moments
Marx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sous les vagues du songe
Tu sembles hésiter
Craindrais-tu par hasard
Qu’à ta suite je plonge
Et du même côté
Au moment de plonger
Sous les vagues du songe
Craindrais-tu par hasard
Qu’à ta suite je plonge
Et du même côté
Ne crains rien nos sommeils
Ont une différence
Car lorsque je m’endors
Le cauchemar te mêle
Aux lieux de mon enfance
Avec mes amis morts
Avec mes amis morts
Tu traverses les bois
Les groseillers les fermes
Les routes que j’aimais
Tandis qu’en la torpeur
Profonde où tu t’enfermes
Je ne marche jamais
Il me serait bien doux
De déranger ton rêve
De l’habiter longtemps
Alors je tremblerais
Que le soleil se lève
Et t’ouvre à deux battants
Et t’ouvre à deux battants
Il me serait bien doux
De déranger ton rêve
De l’habiter longtemps
Alors je tremblerais
Que le soleil se lève
Et t’ouvre à deux battants
Et t’ouvre à deux battants
Alors je tremblerais
Que le soleil se lève
Et t’ouvre à deux battants
The lyrics of Marx's song "Moments" portray the theme of hesitation and fear in taking a dive into the depths of dreams. The singer addresses someone, possibly a lover, who seems hesitant to plunge into the waves of their dreams alongside the singer. There is a subtle suggestion that the hesitation stems from a fear that the singer might also follow them and end up on the same path.
The second verse delves into the differences between their dreams. The singer reveals that when they fall asleep, their dreams are intermingled with nightmares and memories of their deceased friends. On the other hand, the person they are addressing seems to traverse idyllic places like woods, farms, and roads that hold sentimental value to the singer. The contrast highlights the divergence in their dream experiences.
In the final verse, the singer expresses a desire to disrupt and inhabit the other person's dream, to be a part of it for a longer period. However, the fear of the sun rising and abruptly ending the dream causes hesitation and trembling. It implies a fear of losing the connection and intimacy they share in the dreamworld when confronted with the reality of waking life.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of two individuals with different dream experiences, one haunted by nightmares and memories, and the other immersed in nostalgic and cherished settings. It explores the vulnerability and desire for closeness in dreams, and the fear of losing that connection in reality.

I pulled a Groucho on my manager who was a brash older woman from Germany. One day she jokingly asked "What would you guys do without me?" To which I replied "Well we'd have a couple parties, one before you leave and one after you're gone"
