Thérapie De Groupe
Olivia Ruiz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maman est dépressive
Papa manque de confiance
Et moi je suis lascive
Devant toutes nos errances

Et si on essayait un peu
De voir notre petit monde d'en haut
Au liue de laisser choir nos idéaux

Mamie semble pensive
Elle voit crever papi
Elle se dit pourvu que je vive
Pour penser un peu à ma vie

Tonton est dans la mouise
Les gendarmes ont trouvé son herbe bleue
Ils la disent nocive
Mais non ! Puisqu'elle lui fait briller les yeux

Et si on essayait un peu...

Mon grand frère est un peu timbré
Il joue avec Jojo mon p'tit fiancé
Ils jouent à s'alonger
Nus , tout nus au fond du canapé

La tatie est en crise
Elle a zigouillé le chat de Zoé
Le Lexomil s'épuise
Et elle boit son wisky comme du p'tit lait

Et si on essayait un peu ...

Et si on essayait d'user

D'un peu de minutie
Pour orchester notre thérapie !

Overall Meaning

The song "Thérapie De Groupe" by Olivia Ruiz dives deep into the complex dynamics of a family and their issues, and suggests that perhaps they need to view things from a different perspective to overcome them. The opening verse portrays a family with evident depression and lack of confidence - a mother who is depressed, a father who has trust issues, and the singer herself feeling disaffected by all of their "errances." The second verse continues to delve into family problems, such as the grandfather dying and the grandmother worrying about her own life, an uncle who is in trouble with the law for drug use, and the singer's brother who engages in questionable behavior with her fiance. Lastly, the chorus repeats the idea of trying something different - "Et si on essayait un peu" - and using "minutie" or attention to detail to orchestrate their therapy.

Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the connections and issues within a family, and the potential for change and healing - if only they can collectively strive towards it.

Au liue de laisser choir nos idéaux
Instead of letting our ideals fall
