Attendre la fin
Salomé Leclerc Lyrics

In Salomé Leclerc's song Attendre la fin, the main theme is about letting go of someone and moving on with life. In the first line of the first verse, "J'oublierai les portraits sur mes murs" (I'll forget the portraits on my walls), the singer is implying that they are removing any reminders of the person they are trying to forget. However, in the following line, "Mais la blessure sera là longtemps" (But the wound will be there for a long time), it is evident that forgetting will not be an easy task. The singer then expresses their desire to leave their home, "Je n'veux pas rester chez moi, je l'jure" (I don't want to stay at home, I swear), indicating that they want to explore and find something new, but also that staying home would just remind them of the person they are trying to forget. The line "J'ai déjà pris mon élan" (I have already taken my momentum), shows the determination of the singer to move forward with life, no matter how difficult it may be.

In the second verse, the singer is looking for comfort and a distraction, "On oubliera mon ennui, c'est sûr / Que quelqu'un berce mon âme d'enfant" (They will forget my worry, for sure / That someone will soothe my child's soul). The singer reveals their vulnerability and a willingness to let someone take care of them. The line "Je veux rester chez moi sans armure" (I want to stay home without armor) signifies the desire for a peaceful and safe space after being hurt. The last line of the verse "Attendre la fin devant / Seul un souvenir de toi me rassure" (Wait for the end in front of me / Only a memory of you reassures me) shows that even though they are ready to move on, the memories of the person they loved still provide comfort.

Overall, the song is about the process of letting go of someone and the struggle that comes with it. It highlights the vulnerability and strength in moving on and the importance of finding comfort in the process.
