Solo
Patricia Kaas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tout s'ecroule autour de moi
Depuis l'instant ou j'ai fini chez toi.
Erreur fatale :
Pourtant je sais
Qu'il suffit de si peu
Pour que tu exploses.

Soudain, tu me plaques contre un mur.
Que diraient les voisins ?
Enfin, de caresse en morsure,
Je n'reponds plus de rien.
Trop de bleus a fleur de peau,
Je dois faire ma vie solo…

Mon taxi est deja dehors
Quand tout a coup tu veux un corps a Corps.
Dröle de surprise !
Pourtant je sais
Qu'a chaque fois tu succombes
Dès que j'explose.

Soudain, je te plaque contre un mur.
Que diraient les voisins ?
Enfin, de caresse en morsure,
Tu n'reponds plus de rien.
Trop de bleus a fleur de peau,
Tu veux faire ta vie solo…

Pourtant on sait
Qu'il vaut mieux rester sobre
Quand on explose.

Soudain, on se plaque contre un mur.
Que diraient les voisins ?
Enfin, de caresse en morsure,
On n'repond plus de rien.
Trop de bleus a fleur de peau,
Chacun va finir solo…

Soudain, on se plaque contre un mur.
Que diraient les voisins ?
Enfin, de caresse en morsure,
On n'repond plus de rien.




Trop de bleus a fleur de peau,
Chacun va finir solo…

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Solo" by Patricia Kaas describe a tumultuous and passionate relationship between two people who can't seem to let go of each other, despite the pain and bruises they inflict on each other. The singer describes how everything around her is falling apart since the moment she ended up at her partner's house, which she sees as a fatal mistake. She knows that it only takes a little bit for her partner to explode with passion and violence.


The two lovers find themselves in a situation where they are pressed up against a wall, engaging in a frenzy of caresses and bites. They are aware of the potential consequences of their actions, wondering what the neighbors would think if they heard or saw them. The singer realizes that she has too many bruises on the surface of her skin and decides that it's time for her to make her life solo. However, her partner surprises her by wanting to engage in a bodily encounter once more, knowing that he can't resist when she explodes with desire. At the end of the song, the two lovers understand that they will each end up solo because they are unable to control their passions and their impulses.


Overall, "Solo" is a raw and intense depiction of a relationship that is largely physical and unstable. Despite knowing that they shouldn't give in to their impulses, the two lovers can't resist each other and keep finding themselves in situations that leave them bruised and alone. The lyrics paint an image of two people who are trapped in a cycle of seduction and pain, unable to break free from their attraction to each other.
