Relax
Oh La La ! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et toi t'es en vraque vautré dans l'escalier
la tête dans un sac je te demande
Qu'est-ce qui cloche
Harie sens qui lache et tu t'en moque
Qu'est-ce qui cloche
Relax on a connu pire
T'es classe, t'es comme une actrice
quand la nuit s'efface ou est-ce que tu glisses
Pas sommeil, tu te questionnes
Faudrait que tu dormes une semaine
tu deviens folle alors qu'Harie brille sous le soleil
Qu'est-ce qui cloche
Relax on a connu pire
Relax on a connu pire
Relax on a connu pire
Relax on a connu pire
Relax on a connu pire
Relax on a connu pire...
The lyrics of the song "Relax" by Oh La La! depict the worries and anxieties of two individuals named Hariette and the person addressed as "toi." Hariette is hiding under her pillow, feeling overwhelmed, while the other person is lying down in the staircase. The singer, feeling concerned, asks the person what is wrong but they make light of Hariette's concerns. The refrain "Qu'est-ce qui cloche" meaning "what's wrong," repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the tension and unease.
The second verse focuses on the person lying in the staircase. The singer compliments them, comparing them to an actress who shines in the night but then questions if they are slipping away. The person is unable to sleep and questions themselves, needing a week of rest. Meanwhile, Hariette shines in the sun, but the person remains indifferent to her concerns.
The refrain "Relax on a connu pire" meaning "Relax, we've known worse" provides a message of comfort and reassurance amidst the unease. The song highlights how people experience anxiety and worry differently and how one person's anxiety might seem insignificant to another.
Overall, the lyrics of "Relax" by Oh La La! reveal the significance of support and reminding oneself that one is not alone in their anxiety.
