Désert
Saule Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ce matin je me trouve beau
J’sais pas si c’est la lumière
Un reflet sur le carreau
Mais je crois que je peux plaire

Comme narcisse au bord de l’eau
Je reste là sans bouger
À écouter chanter les oiseaux

En regardant mon reflet

Je ne suis pas fait de lumière
Mais je crois briller à ma manière
Autour de moi s’écoule la sève
De quelqu’un qui sème

Des graines de pluie
Sur le désert de sa vie

Houhou…

Ce matin j’existe un peu
Je me sens pousser des ailes
Et si je dois faire un vœux
C’est de continuer à croire
Qu’elles

Me porteront toute ma vie
Au delà des tracas et des soucis
Ce regard dur que j’ai sur moi
Pour de bon disparaîtra

Je ne suis pourtant pas fait de lumière
Mais je crois briller à ma manière
Autour de moi s’écoule la sève
De quelqu’un qui sème

Des graines de pluie
Sur le désert de sa vie…

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Désert" by Saule describe a moment of self-reflection and self-acceptance. The singer wakes up feeling good about himself, unsure if it’s the light or a reflection on the windowpane that’s making him look handsome. Like Narcissus at the water's edge, he admires himself and listens to the birds singing, feeling content. He then acknowledges that he may not be radiant like the light, but he shines in his own way, spreading the sap for those who sow the rain.

The second verse reveals that he feels like he's growing wings and is empowered to make a wish. He expresses his desire to continue believing that his wings will carry him through his life, beyond any setbacks or problems. He realizes that the harsh judgment he places on himself will fade away, and he will learn to love himself even though he is not made of light. He continues to spread his seeds of rain and water his desert, hoping for growth and change.

Overall, the song is a beautiful reminder of acceptance, self-love, and the power of personal growth. It encourages listeners to find their own way to shine, even if they feel like they are in a desert, and keep moving forward.
