Rahu
Pensées Nocturnes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'est un funeste ivrogne qui soupe ce soir,
Qui de mon cerveau sur sa balançoire
Se gorge salement.

Valsant en mesure en ce terne manoir
Qu'est mon crâne affable, répugnant crachoir,
Il gerbe à torrent ses acides ventrailles
Noyé dans le sang, recouvert de failles.

Résonnent ces broiements dans ma tête.
Raisonnent ces errements dans ma tête.
Cette comptine vicieuse qui crève le silence
Savoureuse putain au goût d'abstinence.

Mais revoilà que titube l'imbriaque.
Dansant au rythme des larmes dionysiaques
Foulant gaiment ce cimetière de pensées
Il racle de la langue l'amère absurdité.

Il faut l'imaginer heureux
Dans ce monde follement silencieux
Car les moyens justifient la fin.
Mais le rocher roule encore.





Le rocher roule encore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pensées Nocturnes's song Rahu describe a drunken and grotesque figure that is feasting on the singer's brain as if it were his personal playground. The scene is set in a desolate manor, which represents the singer's mind, where this grotesque figure dances and vomits his acidic guts, drowning in his own blood, and covered in flaws. The lyrics suggest that this grotesque figure is a metaphor for the singer's depraved and dark thoughts, which he is unable to control.


The second stanza further elaborates on the notion of the singer's lack of control over his thoughts. The lyrics refer to a vicarious rhyme that pierces through the silence- a metaphor that represents the compulsive and intrusive thoughts that persist in the singer's mind. The final verse hints at a theme of accepting one's own flaws and finding happiness in a silent world, where chaos no longer reigns. However, the last phrase- "le rocher roule encore" (the rock rolls again)- symbolizes that the thoughts will always persist and continue to influence the singer's mind.
