Échos
Romain Humeau Lyrics

The lyrics to Romain Humeau's "Échos" evoke a sense of cosmic beauty and transcendence. The opening lines, "Tournez planètes en grâce, en baisers dans le cou," speak of celestial bodies moving in grace, creating a passionate and intimate atmosphere. The imagery of "fontaine d'oiseaux fous" (fountain of crazy birds) adds a touch of whimsy and enchantment to the scene. The verses continue to describe a universe filled with wonders, where the nonsensical merges with the extraordinary; "De galaxies en unicorns" suggests a fantastical realm where galaxies and unicorns coexist.

The chorus reaffirms the theme of unity with the cosmos, as Humeau sings about riding the stars and indulging in exquisite corpses. "Sangre de la tierra" (blood of the earth) hints at a connection to nature's pulsating trees of infinity. The lyrics suggest a desire for connection and exploration, embracing the beauty and mystery of the universe.

The final lines of the song bring together the various elements introduced throughout the lyrics. The "tigres de papier" (paper tigers), symbolic of powerful but fragile entities, burn in the fires of rebellious people. The mention of blinking eyelashes in eternity alludes to the transient nature of our existence and the vastness of time. Ultimately, the song emphasizes the idea that our bodies echo the celestial forces around us, and we are part of a greater cosmic dance.
