On Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vers le bleu qui frétille
L'extase me gagne
Les planches se soignent
Les pneus qui crissent
Et glissent sur la chaussée
Mon corps va se plonger
Dans la vague sacrée
La vague sacrée
Va-t-elle me dévorer
La vague sacrée
La vague sacrée
(La vague sacrée)
La vague sacrée
(La vague sacrée)
Va-t-elle me dévorer
(Va-t-elle me dévorer ?)
La vague sacrée
Le tonnerre au loin
Ne m'arrêtera pas
Peu importe car sans toi
Il ne reste rien de moi
Alors je m'en vais
Au large je me sens bien
J'irai affronter
La vague sacrée
La vague sacrée
La vague sacrée
Va-t-elle me dévorer
(La vague sacrée)
La vague sacrée
(La vague sacrée)
La vague sacrée
(La vague sacrée)
Va-t-elle me dévorer
(Va-t-elle me dévorer ?)
La vague sacrée
These lyrics depict the metaphorical journey of the singer towards an unknown destination, symbolized by a wave. The first verse sets the tone by mentioning how the road guides them towards a shimmering blue wave. The word "frétille" (meaning "quivers" or "trembles") suggests a sense of anticipation and excitement. As the singer embarks on their journey, they feel a growing ecstasy, and the planks, representing stability, heal and repair themselves. It seems that the singer is aching to experience something transformative.
The next lines mention the screeching and sliding of tires on the road, further intensifying the sense of movement and anticipation. The singer's body is described as plunging into the sacred wave, indicating a willingness to surrender and be engulfed by this powerful force. The repetition of "La vague sacrée" emphasizes the significance and reverence the wave holds for the singer.
The second verse introduces an obstacle in the form of distant thunder, which has the potential to impede the singer's journey. However, they declare that it will not stop them, suggesting a determination to continue regardless of external interference. The presence of a "you" suggests that the singer may be seeking solace or resolution in this journey, and without that person, they feel that there is nothing left of themselves. This adds a layer of emotional vulnerability and longing.
The final lines of the song continue to emphasize the singer's resolve to venture out into the unknown, feeling content and free on the open sea. They are ready to confront the sacred wave, even if it may devour them. The repetition of the phrase "La vague sacrée" reinforces the unwavering focus on this transformative experience, and the lingering question of whether or not it will consume the singer adds an element of suspense and uncertainty.
Overall, these lyrics beautifully capture the inner struggle and desire for self-discovery and transformation. The metaphor of the wave represents a force greater than oneself, enticing and terrifying at the same time. The lyrics convey a sense of both surrender and determination, suggesting that the singer recognizes the risks involved but is willing to face them in order to find meaning and purpose in their journey.
