Comment Te Dire Adieu (Featuring June Miles
Somerville Jimmy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je ne veux
Avoir de reflexes
Malheureux
Il faut que tu m' explique un peu mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Mon coeur de silex
Ton coeur de pyrex
Resiste au feu
Je suis bien perplexe
Je ne veux
Me resoudre aux adieus
Je sais bien qu'un ex
Amour n'as pas de chance ou si peu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derriere un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adie
Tu a mis a l'index
Nos nuits blanches nos matins gris-bleu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derriere un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adie
The lyrics of Comment Te Dire Adieu by Somerville Jimmy featuring June Miles-Kingston explore the complexities of heartbreak and the difficulty of expressing one's emotions when a relationship is ending. The singer is trying to understand the reasons for the breakup and is pleading with the other person to explain it to them in a way that they can comprehend. They do not want to react in a negative or hurtful way and are hoping for a peaceful resolution.
The use of silex (flint) and pyrex (heat-resistant glass) in the lyrics is a metaphor for the different emotional responses of the two people involved. The singer's heart is flammable and easily ignited by the emotional turmoil of the situation, while the other person's heart is more resistant and able to withstand the heat. The singer is left feeling confused and unsure how to proceed.
The overall tone of the song is mournful and yearning. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance that the relationship is ending, but also a desire for closure and understanding. The use of the word "adieu" emphasizes the finality of the situation and the difficulty of goodbye.
