Comment te dire adieu
Somerville Jimmy & June Miles - Kingston 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 to Somerville Jimmy and June Miles-Kingston's 'Comment Te Dire Adieu' talk about a heartbreak and the challenge of communicating it to the other person. The singer feels that they need more explanation on how to say goodbye to their former lover. The first stanza starts with the singer saying that they do not want to have any unhappy reflexes while saying goodbye. They ask their lover to explain to them better how to say goodbye.
In the second stanza, the singer explains that their heart is quick to ignite, while their lover's heart resists such flames. They feel perplexed and unwilling to bid farewell. The singer acknowledges that former lovers rarely have a second chance, but they believe that they need more explanation on how to say goodbye.
In the last stanza, the singer acknowledges that their previous days together have been put on hold. They once again reiterate the need for a more profound explanation on how to bid farewell without raising their emotions. The overall story is about the challenge of ending a once-loving relationship, the reluctance to say goodbye, and the need to understand better how to communicate it.
