MON AMOUR
Rejjie Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love
Mon amour
Approche-toi de moi
Je suis ton secret
Dans mon hôtel glacé
But I fuckin' hate you, hope you disappear (boom)
Hurt me again and you can live here forever
I don't blame you but the money came second (yeah nigga)
Human nature to be a bitch known reckless
Soft like Picasso, blood in my chalice
I hate feeling like I don't know how to love you
Now I gotta watch you make love to the same dude
Nigga like me, nigga talk like me
Nigga walk like me, nigga dick came weak (pause)
Hate bein' broke and askin' momma for a handout
Hands up if you ever dreamed of a cash cow
What is wrong with me? I still want you baby
Wanna hold your hand and go skrrt! in Mercedes
Have four babies, been my baby since the 80's, love so crazy
Mon amour
Approche-toi de moi
Je suis ton secret
Dans mon hôtel glacé
Le soir on rêve et on s'amuse
Le soir on rêve et on s'amuse
La nuit les vagues vont m'emporter
La nuit les vagues vont m'emporter
Pourquoi garder tant de secrets?
Baby girl, I know you love me, I know you love me, I know you love me
Fuck love, it's ugly
Tout effacer d'un seul regard
Baby girl, I know you love me, I know you love me, I know you love me
Fuck love it's ugly
(Huh) mon amour
Approche-toi de moi
Je suis ton secret
Dans mon hôtel glacé
Mon amour
Approche-toi de moi
Je suis ton secret
Dans mon hôtel glacé
In "Mon Amour," Rejjie Snow sings about his conflicting feelings towards a lover. The chorus "Mon amour, approche-toi de moi" translates to "My love, come closer to me," but the rest of the lyrics suggest he has a complicated, frustrating relationship with this person. The line "sorry I'm late I would've been here, but I fuckin' hate you, hope you disappear" shows his anger towards this person, and he even threatens that if she hurts him again, she can live with him forever. He acknowledges that it's in his human nature to be reckless and sometimes act like a bitch, but he still doesn't understand why he doesn't know how to love her. He's jealous and feels insecure about watching her make love to someone else, but at the same time, he still wants her and imagines having four babies with her, loving her in a crazy way.
In the bridge of the song, he questions why they keep so many secrets from each other, and wonders if it's possible to erase everything with just one look. He admits that despite everything, he knows she loves him, but he's jaded towards love and thinks it's ugly.
Overall, the song showcases the complexity of relationships and how conflicting emotions can drive us crazy. It touches upon themes of jealousy, insecurity, love, and hate, and speaks to the human experience of loving someone despite their flaws.
