Les Matins
Mr Roux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Matin tête dans le cul
J'ai encore déconné
Hier, j'ai trop bu
Ma tête va exploser

Et cette fille qui dort à côté
Je me souvenais pas de l'avoir ramenée
Si y'avait que moi, c'est certain
On supprimerait les matins
Pour les remplacer par des nuits sans lendemains matins

Matin nauséeux
Crottes dans les yeux
Haleine chargée
Gorge enrouée
Mon corps se consume de l'intérieur
Mais j'assume, ce sont mes erreurs

-Refrain-

J'aime pas les matins qui puent le tabac froid
Et la sueur de mes dessous de bras
J'aime pas ces matins où je ne sais même pas
Qui est celle qui dort à côté de moi

-Refrain-

Matin, trou de mémoire
Demain, j'arrête de boire
Je ne me souviens plus
De la soirée

Et cette fille qui dort à côté
Je la trouve bien bizarrement membrée





-Refrain

The chorus further emphasizes his dislike for mornings that smell like stale tobacco and sweat and his confusion about the identity of the woman sleeping beside him.
