Pleymo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mes névroses dorment dehors
J'ai promis d'éviter de chialer sur mon sort
et d'esquiver les mots, la tête encore dans l'eau
Si frileux des fois je suis, le peu que j'éprouve me suffit
À faire le pas vers le je et le moi
Ce qui se joue de ça!
Et si je suis né gémeau
Je frêne le versant schizo

Innocent mieux que personne
C'est le mal qu'il me donne
Il dort en moi, scindé entre le jeu et l'émoi
Une porte en moi, mon équilibre mental en est l'enjeu
C'est souvent qu'il s'étale un peu
Ou bien me couvre de bleu
Mais tu sais l'intérieur effraie
Pour ne pas en faire les frais je me tais
Je lui parle tant à mon double Injall enfant
J'ai fait le pas vers le je et le moi
Vers celui qui l'emportera
Et si je suis né gémeau
Je frêne le versant schizo
Innocent mieux que personne
C'est le mal qu'il me donne
Et dort en moi, scindé entre le jeu et l'émoi
Une porte en moi, mon équilibre mental en est l'enjeu
Rock casse tout infernal colérique
Injall toujours toujours toxique
Rock refuse l'inconscient
Injall toujours toujours présent? (aïe bo? oh oh?)

Il dort en moi, scindé entre le jeu et l'émoi
Une porte en moi, mon équilibre mental en est l'enjeu

Overall Meaning

In Pleymo's song 1977, the lyrics express an internal struggle between the singer's two selves: the rational and the emotional. Through the lyrics, the singer admits that they have promised to avoid whining about their fate and trying to evade words while still feeling the weight of the emotional turmoil. The singer acknowledges their split personality, symbolized by being born under the zodiac sign of Gemini (Gémeau in French), frantically trying to keep the schizoid side of their personality in check. The singer speaks of their internal conflict through the metaphor of a door within them that holds their mental balance in question. The song conveys the message that their inner self frightens them, and to avoid making themselves vulnerable, they avoid talking about it. They speak about an innocent self inside of them that is better than everyone else, but it's the evil that gives them the most impetus.
