Barre toi
Sinsémilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Les coups qui recommencent
Pour rien pour rien
Des moments de souffrance
Des scènes pleines de violence
Pour rien, ça n'as pas de sens
Même quand tout va bien rien ne va
Le calme peut voler en éclat
Parfois il y a des combats qui ne se gagnent pas
Crois-moi, ta vie vaut plus que ça
Barre-toi
Ta peur quand il est là,
Au seul son de sa voix
Cette peur se lit dans ton regard mais cette fois
Ne baisse pas les yeux, non ne baisse pas la tête
Cette honte n'est pas à toi, crois moi
Il gâche sa vie c'est son problème
Ne le laisse pas gâcher la tienne
Ni celle des tiens
Barre-toi
Ça n'arrive pas qu'aux autres
Ça n'arrive pas qu'ailleurs
C'est chaque jour qu'en France sous les coups de l'autre
une femme se meurt
Toi tu as le choix
Ailleurs elles ne l'ont pas
Toi tu as le choix
De cautionner ça
Ou de partir de là
Donne-toi cette chance
Donne-lui cette chance
Barre-toi
The lyrics to Sinsémilia's song "Barre toi" discuss the theme of domestic violence and the importance of leaving toxic relationships. The first verse highlights the pain and violence that the singer experiences for no reason. It suggests that even when everything seems fine, conflicts can arise and make life unbearable. The lyrics question the senselessness of these fights that cannot be won, encouraging the listener to believe that their life is worth more than staying in such a situation.
The recurring phrase "barre toi" (which translates to "get out") serves as the main message and chorus of the song. It urges the singer to leave the abusive partner and escape the fear that engulfs them whenever the abuser is around. The lyrics acknowledge the fear that is clearly visible in the singer's eyes whenever they hear the abuser's voice. However, it encourages them not to lower their gaze or feel ashamed, reminding them that the abuser's destructive behavior is their own problem and should not define the victim's life.
The song emphasizes that domestic violence is not something that only happens to others or somewhere else, but a daily reality in France, where women suffer under the hands of their abusers. It urges the listener to realize that they have a choice, unlike many other women who may not have access to the same options. They can either continue to tolerate and enable the abusive behavior or leave the relationship. The lyrics suggest that leaving is a chance for the listener to protect themselves and their loved ones from the cycle of violence.
In the final lines, the lyrics call for the singer to give themselves a chance to break free and also give the abuser a chance to see the consequences of their actions. It emphasizes the importance of leaving and encourages the listener to take that step towards a better and safer life. The repeated phrase "barre toi" serves as a powerful and empowering way to convey this message throughout the song.
