Lune Malade
Pensées Nocturnes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ô Lune, nocturne phtisique,
Sur le noir oreiller des cieux,
Ton immense regarde fiévreux
M'attire comme une musique!

Tu meurs d'un amour chimérique,
Et d'un désir silencieux,
Ô Lune, nocturne phtisique,
Sur le noir oreiller des cieux!

Mais dans sa volupté physique
L'amant qui passe insoucieux
Prend pour des rayons gracieux




Ton sang blanc et mélancolique,
Ô Lune, nocturne phtisique!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Lune Malade" by Pensées Nocturnes revolve around the personification of the moon as a person who is suffering from a feverish illness. The opening lines of the song call to the moon as "nocturnal consumptive" or "nocturne phtisique," describing its appearance as lying on the black pillow of the skies. The moon's "feverish look" attracts the singer, luring them in like music.


The lyrics continue to describe the moon's malady as a kind of unrequited love ("chimerical love") and a silent desire ("silent desire"). The imagery of the moon as a romantic figure who suffers from a feverish sickness that is caused by love creates a melancholy tone. The phrase "sur le noir oreiller des cieux" which translates to "on the black pillow of the skies" gives a vivid image of the moon lying alone in the dark expanse of space.


The song then takes a lyrical turn by describing the "physical voluptuousness" of a lover who disregards the moon's illness, seeing only its "graceful rays" and taking its "white and melancholic blood." The contrast between the moon's sickly appearance and the physical passion of the lover creates a complex tension in the lyrics.


Overall, "Lune Malade" is a beautiful and evocative song that uses the imagery of the moon as a sickly, lovesick character to explore the themes of unrequited love, desire, and isolation.

@aeromaxmat

Une des meilleures compositions de black que je connaisse, pour le moment en tout cas ça reste ma préférée. Ce gars est franchement génial dans ce qu'il fait, et les paroles sont effectivement sublimes. Un chef d'œuvre de désespoir.

@Lysertheshaman

It`s French, and lyrics are far more intellectual and deeper then plain satanic nonsense. Whole music is in a lot higher level then most of todays metal, especially black metal. I respect this band and keep it for an ear-candy together with classical pieces and composers. This project is worth to be written in real music history.
