Attends
No One Is Innocent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tous les rêves, les a côté
Ce qui reste en suspend
Encore attends
Tout est lisse en surface
Dans l'intérieur rien ne dépasse
Ce mur d'idées, depuis longtemps
Tu n'as pas encore usé
Tous les rêves les a côté
Ce qui reste en suspend
Encore attends
Tu remplis tout ce vide
De projets en chrysalide
Espère toujours le printemps
Encore attends
Est-ce la peur d'être a nu?
A découvert dans l'univers
On s'habitue et pourtant
Encore attends
Tu n'a pa encore usé
Tous les rêves les a côté
Ce qui reste en suspend
Encore attends
Tu n'a pa encore usé
Tous les rêves les a côté
Ce qui reste en suspend
Encore attends
The lyrics in No One Is Innocent's song Attends revolve around the idea of waiting and not fully realizing or utilizing one's dreams and potential. The first verse mentions not having fully explored all one's dreams and what lies beside them, indicating that there is more to discover and pursue. However, the second verse notes that while everything may appear smooth on the outside, there is a wall of ideas that has been established and is impeding progress. The third verse touches on the idea of filling the emptiness with potential projects and hoping for change, yet still waiting.
The chorus repeatedly urges the listener to "encore attends," which translates to "still waiting" in English, emphasizing the idea of not yet having exhausted all possibilities and awaiting something yet to come. The bridge poses the question of whether the fear of being vulnerable and exposed in the universe is holding one back, but despite becoming accustomed to current circumstances, one is still waiting for something more.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a yearning for more, but also express a reluctance to make change happen by taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone.
