Argent
Noir Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even when I sleep I just walk on the border
What I need too much is days
What I need too much is nights
What I need is lost in the lights
As long as I'm not satisfied, I try
But I don't even know what I try
What I need is not so simple
What I need is so much trouble
Where are you? Sister, won't you appear?
Sister, sister, sister, won't you appear?
I give you all my love, give you all my soul again
What I need is never found
What I need is never done
What I need is ever wasted
What I need is so much, what I need is over
Even when I sleep I just walk on the border
What I need too much is days
What I need too much is nights
What I need is lost...
But sometimes I love you all
I'm so glad to live in this world
All your voices are gold
All your ideas come from God
What I need is over.
The lyrics of "Argent" by Noir Silence convey a sense of frustration and longing for something that seems unattainable. The repeated phrase "what I need" emphasizes this desire for something that is elusive and seemingly unattainable. The singer is chasing after this unknown thing, even in their dreams, but they can't seem to find it. The use of the metaphor of walking on the border implies that the singer is on the edge of discovering what they need but never quite crossing the threshold.
The singer also acknowledges the complexity of what they are searching for, using words like "incredible" and "so much trouble" to convey just how difficult it is to achieve their goal. The repeated plea for the sister to appear highlights the idea that the singer is looking for guidance or companionship on this journey.
Despite the frustration and longing expressed throughout the song, the final refrain is more positive in tone. The singer expresses gratitude for the world and the people around them, suggesting that perhaps the thing they needed was there all along in the form of love and community.
