Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai du sang sur mes doigts
Il faut que je te rassure
Je soignerai bien tes blessures, mon amour
Tu n'as plus vraiment le choix
Nos deux corps étendus, là
Qu'à l'aube ils se mélangent
Lâche (it's beyond my control)
C'est plus fort que toi
Toujours en cavale (it's beyond my control)
Tu dis, "j'ai besoin de, tes bras"
Oh, lâche (it's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
Tu nous fais du mal (it's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Je ne comprends plus pourquoi
J'ai du sang sur mes doigts
Dors en paix je t'assure
Je veillerai ta sépulture, mon amour
C'était plus fort que moi
Même si je sens là l'effroi
Envahir tout mon être
Je te rejoindrai peut-être
Lâche (it's beyond my control)
C'est plus fort que toi
Toujours en cavale (it's beyond my control)
Tu dis, "j'ai besoin de, tes bras"
Oh, lâche (it's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
Tu nous fais du mal (it's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
Oh, lâche (it's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
Tu nous fais du mal (it's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Lâche (it's beyond my control)
C'est plus fort que toi
Toujours en cavale (it's beyond my control)
Tu dis, "j'ai besoin de, tes bras"
Oh, lâche (it's beyond my control)
Mais c'est plus fort que toi
Tu nous fais du mal (it's beyond my control)
Ne t'éloigne pas de mes bras
Lâche (it's beyond my control)
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
It's beyond my control
The lyrics to Mylène Farmer's song Beyond My Control describe a tumultuous relationship where one partner is unable to control their destructive behavior, despite the other's desperate attempts to keep them close. The first verse sets the scene as the singer struggles with blood on their hands, promising to heal their lover's wounds. The second verse reveals that the two are lying together and will soon "melt" into each other. The chorus brings forth the line "it's beyond my control" repeated three times as the singer begs their partner to stay with them, even as they continue to cause pain. The third verse adds a chilling element as the singer admits fear as their partner continues to destroy, and hints that they may even join them in death.
The theme of control runs throughout the song as the singer tries to prevent their partner from leaving and causing further harm. It also explores the complex nature of love and the lengths we are willing to go to keep those we care about close, even when we fear for our safety. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the outside forces that are influencing the situation beyond the singer's power.
