Même si tu frottes
Rouge Pompier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quand j'me réveille
Pis que t'es là
Encore pas loin
J'me dis que j'ai
Manqué ma chance
De planifier un cadran qui coupe notre amitié
Sans l'option snooze
J'me réveille
J'ai oublié
Que c'tait la veille
Que tu t'es levé
Les bras qui barrent
Les jambes qui tremblent
Les yeux, la rage, la coke

Y'a pas juste toi qui a le monopole d'être abruti

J'en ai vu d'autres
J't'en présente un
Yé devant toi
Y te r'ssemble pas
Mais son histoire
A grafigné
La vie des autres
Pis ça part pas
Même si tu frottes

Tu perds tes ailes
T'es impulsif
Tu veux pas perdre
J'étais pareil
T'es ben déçu
T'as des caprices
Tu pètes des coches
Pis après tu excuses tes reproches

Oh!
Ya pas juste toi de sale

Hey,
T'essayes
D'effacer
Mais ça part pas

Hey
T'essayes




D'effacer
Mais ça part pas.

Overall Meaning

"Même si tu frottes" is a song that talks about waking up and realizing that someone who is close to you and who has a negative influence on your life is still around. The singer regrets not being able to plan a way to cut this person out of their life definitively. The lyrics also suggest that this person is not the only one who behaves negatively, and that the singer has seen other people like them before. The singer introduces another character, one who may not resemble the person they are talking about, but who has been equally destructive to the lives of others. The song appears to be about coming to terms with the fact that some people may cause harm and damage to the people around them, and that it may not always be possible to cut them out of your life.


The song opens with the singer waking up and realizing that the person they've been trying to avoid is still around. They regret not being able to plan a way to cut them out of their life, acknowledging that they may have missed their chance. The mention of the "option snooze" is a reference to hitting the snooze button on an alarm clock, suggesting that the singer wishes they had been able to put distance between themselves and this person permanently.


The second verse describes the person's behavior, with the singer saying that they have seen "d'autres" (others) like them before. They introduce another character who has a similar negative impact on others, suggesting that this behavior is not just limited to the person they're trying to avoid. The line "ça part pas même si tu frottes" (it doesn't go away even if you rub) suggests that the damage these people do leaves a lasting impression on those around them.


In the chorus, the singer suggests that the person they're talking about is not the only problematic person in the world, saying "ya pas juste toi qui a le monopole d'être abruti" (you're not the only one who has a monopoly on being a jerk). They then address the person directly, suggesting that they're trying to erase their behavior but that it won't just go away.


Overall, the song appears to be about coming to terms with the fact that some people are harmful and destructive, and acknowledging that it may not always be possible to cut them out of your life completely. It's a raw and honest look at the complexities of relationships and how hard it can be to let go of someone who may be causing harm.
