Bien Avant Les Larmes
Olympe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Au dernier souffle de survie
De notre amour
Que nous restera-t-il?
Des rendez-vous
De nos cœurs qui balancent
Du charme flou
De nos premiers silences
Tout sera si beau,
Avant que nos sentiments ne s'abîment
Tout sera si chaud,
Le temps que nos mots brûlants ne s'éliment
Bien avant les larmes
Avant de pouvoir se trahir
Qu'on lève les armes
Avant de se laisser partir
Partir
De nos espoirs
De garder l'amour indocile
De notre histoire
Que nous restera-t-il ?
Des rendez-vous
De nos corps qui s'attirent
Le charme fou
De nos premiers soupirs
Tout sera si beau
Avant que nos sentiments ne s'abîment
Tout sera si chaud
Le temps que nos mots brûlants ne s'éliment
Bien avant les larmes
Avant de pouvoir se trahir
Qu'on lève les armes
Avant de se laisser partir
Partir.
Ouh ah ouh ah
Tout sera si beau
Avant que nos sentiments ne s'abîment
Tout sera si chaud
Le temps que nos mots brûlants ne s'éliment
Bien avant les larmes
Avant de pouvoir se trahir
Qu'on lève les armes
Avant de se laisser partir
The lyrics of Olympe's song "Bien Avant Les Larmes" talk about the fleeting beauty and warmth of a relationship before it inevitably ends. The song speaks of the moments before tears, before betrayal, before giving up on each other. The opening lines speak of the length of a relationship, from the beginning until the end, and questions what will remain once it is all over. The chorus then speaks of the beauty and passion that exist in the relationship before it starts to fall apart. The lyrics say that things will be so beautiful when everything is still new and exciting, before the emotions begin to fade and the words lose their power.
The second verse speaks of the hope that people have of holding onto a love that is difficult to maintain. The lyrics once again speak of the fleeting beauty of the relationship, of the charm of the first kisses and the way the bodies are drawn to each other. However, once again, the chorus comes back, reminding listeners that all of this will eventually pass, and it is up to the couple to decide how they want to exit the relationship. They can fight, or they can let go with grace.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet ode to the highs and lows of love. It encourages listeners to cherish the beautiful moments they share with their partners and be mindful of when it's time to say goodbye.
