Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fais comme si ça reviendra
Même si tu ne veux plus
Fais comme si tu ne voulais que ça
Même si t'en peux plus
De te voir entre mes bras
C'est comme si t'avais jamais voulu
Ce genre d'histoire là
Sont comme les jours oû il pleut pas
Y'a la vaisselle qui pue
Et le linge qui attendra
J'ai pourtant fait tout ce que j'ai pu
Même ce que je ne voulais pas
Je me suis pourtant mis à nu
Mais tu ne voulais pas voir ça
Même si tu ne parles plus
A part pour dire n'importe quoi
Même si tu ne supportes plus
Jusqu'au bruit de mes pas
Même si je ne suis plus
Ce que tu pensais de moi
Même si tu ne vois plus
Ce qui te fait rester chez moi
C'est peut-être le cul
Je plaisante mais j'y crois pas
Je vois bien que tu ne veux plus
Ce genre de type comme moi
Un peu mal foutu
Et si souvent maladroit
Que j'ai perdu tout ce qui t'avait plu
Et gagné ce qui ne te plaisait pas
The song "Je Plaisante" by Miossec is about a man who is desperately trying to hold on to a failed relationship. He knows that his partner no longer loves him, but he is still holding onto hope that things will get better. The lyrics are filled with contradictions and conflicting emotions, with the singer begging his partner to pretend that everything is okay, even though they both know that their relationship is crumbling.
The first couple of verses describe how the singer's partner has fallen out of love with him. He knows that she doesn't want to be with him anymore, and that she's just going through the motions of their relationship. Despite this, he begs her to pretend that she still loves him, to act like they're a happy couple, and to hold onto the hope that their love will be rekindled.
The middle verses describe the singer's attempts to salvage the relationship. He's done everything he can to try and make things work, even things that he didn't want to do. He's tried to be vulnerable and open with his partner, but she refuses to see it. He knows that she's just staying with him for the sex, but he's still holding onto the hope that she'll love him again.
The song ends with the singer acknowledging that he's not the kind of guy his partner wants to be with. He's flawed and imperfect, and he's lost the qualities that she used to love about him. He's become the opposite of what she wants, and he knows that he can't change that. The song is a sad reflection on love and relationships, and the pain of trying to hold onto something that's already slipped away.
