Etre deux
Nicolas Michaux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First I stayed cold and wary
When I felt you chatting me up
I thought I had way to much to lose
I had to save this frail reason of mine
But soon I caught myself hitting the highway
Heading south of nowhere with you

Dieu que c'est bon d'être deux
Dieu que c'est bon d'être

Then I felt slightly anxious
About the way you were wearing me out
And though I knew there was nothing to gain
I couldn't help trying to compete
Since anyway you had driven me crazy
To south of nowhere with you





Dieu que c'est bon d'être deux
Dieu que c'est bon d'être

Overall Meaning

"Être deux" by Nicolas Michaux is a song that explores the conflicting emotions and desires that arise when two people come together. The lyrics describe the singer's initial hesitation and caution when approached by the other person. They feel that they have too much to lose and need to protect their fragile reasoning. However, as the song progresses, the singer finds themselves giving in to the allure of this person and embarking on a journey with them.


The chorus repeatedly states "Dieu que c'est bon d'être deux," which translates to "God, it feels good to be two." This line implies that despite the reservations and anxieties, there is something inherently fulfilling and satisfying about being in a relationship or experiencing a deep connection with another person. It suggests that the joy and contentment found in those moments outweigh the potential risks and uncertainties.


The second verse reveals the singer's growing anxiety about the intensity of their relationship. They acknowledge that there is nothing to gain from trying to compete with this person, yet they cannot resist the allure and continue to journey with them. This highlights the passionate and sometimes irrational nature of love, where one can be driven to madness and intoxication by the presence of the other.


Overall, the lyrics of "Être deux" capture the internal struggle between fear and desire, caution and surrender, ultimately celebrating the joys and pleasures of being in a partnership or relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

First I stayed cold and wary
At the beginning, I was cautious and distant


When I felt you chatting me up
When I sensed you flirting with me


I thought I had way too much to lose
I believed I had too many things at stake


I had to save this frail reason of mine
I needed to protect my fragile rationality


But soon I caught myself hitting the highway
However, I found myself impulsively going down the road


Heading south of nowhere with you
Going towards an unknown destination with you


Then I felt slightly anxious
Later on, I started to feel a bit nervous


About the way you were wearing me out
Concerned that you were exhausting me emotionally


And though I knew there was nothing to gain
Even though I understood there was nothing to be gained


I couldn't help trying to compete
I couldn't resist attempting to compete for your attention


Since anyway you had driven me crazy
Considering the fact that you had already driven me insane


To south of nowhere with you
To an unknown place with you


Dieu que c'est bon d'être deux
Oh, how good it is to be two


Dieu que c'est bon d'être
Oh, how good it is to be

Ex d'Été 67, combo belgo-rock qui ne bouscula guère que les convenances, Nicolas Michaux dessine depuis 2015 à Bruxelles la carte d'un monde à la poésie tendre et loufoque, révélée sur un premier jet (A La Vie, A La Mort, 08/04) chic et nonchalant, singulière collection, entre Mathieu Boogaerts et Paul McCartney, de majestueuses comptines pop aux arrangements aussi cheap qu'addictifs, nourries de voyages, de rencontres, et de ce grain de folie qui constitue l'apanage des plus grands. A suivre.

Un subtil mariage de piano, de guitare et de chanson, douce élégance, charmantes voix que celles de ces princes aux allures de campagnards mais aux doigts d'argent.
