je sais pas danser
Pomme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que la nuit fière s'en fout
Si tu voulais me voir
Moi, je préfère le noir
Je n'veux pas sortir
Je n'veux pas me découvrir
Des failles, des faillesDes failles, des failles
Je vois mon corps partout
Je le compare surtout
Et tu vas pas me croire
J'ai fait le même cauchemar
Je n'veux pas sortir
Je n'veux pas me découvrir
Des failles, des failles
Des failles, des failles
Et je sais pas danser
Je sais pas m'oublier
Et je sais pas danser
Je sais pas m'oublier
Je n'veux pas sortir
"Je sais pas danser" by POMME is a song about feeling lost and disconnected from oneself while trying to navigate the complexities of social situations. The song begins with the lines "Quand les lumières brûlent tout/Que la nuit fière s'en fout" which can be translated to "When the lights burn everything/And the proud night doesn't care." The singer of the song doesn't feel comfortable in crowded environments, and would rather be alone in the dark. The lines "Je n'veux pas sortir/Je n'veux pas me découvrir/Des failles, des failles/Des failles, des failles" express this desire to stay hidden and avoid exposing their vulnerabilities to the world.
The chorus of the song can be translated to "And I don't know how to dance/I don't know how to forget/And I don't know how to dance/I don't know how to forget." Here, POMME is expressing a sense of inadequacy and lack of confidence. Dancing is often seen as a social activity where people come together to have fun and let go of their inhibitions, but the singer of the song feels like they are unable to do that. They are unable to forget their anxieties and fully embrace the moment.
The bridge of the song takes a turn, with the lines "Je vois mon corps partout/Je le compare surtout/Et tu vas pas me croire/J'ai fait le même cauchemar" translating to "I see my body everywhere/I compare it above all/And you won't believe me/I had the same nightmare." Here, the song becomes more introspective as the singer starts to reflect more deeply on their insecurities. Seeing their body and comparing it to others causes them to spiral into a nightmare, which can be seen as a symbol for their anxieties and fears.

J'ai fait le même cauchemar
I had the same nightmare

I don't know how to forget myself
