Une Vie Par Jour
Olympe Lyrics

The lyrics to Olympe's song "Une Vie Par Jour" (A Life Per Day) reflect the longing for love and connection. The first verse begins with the singer hoping and waiting for a sign from the person they desire. However, time passes, and the opportunity seems to be slipping away, "Le temps perdu a raison de moi" (Time lost has its way with me). The chorus then repeats the idea of wanting love, a new love that helps them escape from who they are and pushes them towards new possibilities. They urge themselves and each other with the lines "Et si on repoussait les limites, Ouvrir nos coeurs a la dynamite" (What if we pushed our limits, Opened our hearts to the dynamite). The second verse begins with a question, "Est-ce que c'est toi? Est-ce que je vois?" (Is it you? Is it what I see?), and a hint of the joy that could come if the answer is yes, "Nos sentiments au firmament" (Our feelings at their highest). The song ends with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the possibility for a new life, a new love, if they just begin to count each day as an opportunity to find it.

Overall, the song expresses the frustration and desire for a deeper connection, as well as the sense of urgency that can come with realizing that time is slipping away. The repetition of the chorus, with its call to action, reminds us that sometimes we have to actively seek out the love and connection we crave. The image of counting life by the day underscores this idea, suggesting that we should not just passively wait for love to find us but take control of our own lives and actively pursue it.
