Pour Toi Pour Moi
Sophie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai peint le tableau
Celui avec ton image
Je n'avais plus de mots
J'ai fini par pleurer des larmes
C'est un sentiment bizarre que tout s'en va
Et que je suis seule
Parmi ce monde de fou
Il y a toujours des gens qui vous consolent

Je veux être là
Où tu me regardes perché(e) là haut
J'aurais été le coffre de tout maux
Quand tu en avais besoin
Pendant que toi t'es là haut
Tu ne redescenderas pas demain
Mais je veux quand même que tu reviennes
Que tu reviens

J'ai crié ton nom
Plus d'une dixaine de fois
Même dans le rue
Dans les yeux des autres je te vois
Je pleure et je brule
Comme la chandelle que je t'allume
En honneur
J'ai peur qu'elle ne s'éteigne comme toi

Je veux être là
Où tu me regardes perché(e) là haut
J'aurais été le coffre de tout maux
Quand tu en avais besoin
Pendant que toi t'es là haut
Tu ne redescenderas pas demain
Mais je veux quand même que tu reviennes
Que tu reviens

Je veux être là
Où tu me regardes perché(e) là haut

J'aurais été le coffre de tout maux
J'éteins la chandelle ce soir

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of "Pour Toi Pour Moi," the singer describes a sense of loneliness and sorrow, painting a picture with tears as they are unable to find the right words to express their emotions. The imagery of a world gone mad contrasts with the comfort found in knowing there are still people who offer solace in times of need. This sets the stage for a deep emotional journey where the singer grapples with feelings of isolation and longing for connection.

The second verse delves deeper into the yearning for a lost loved one, expressing a desire to be where they are, even if it is somewhere unreachable. This unattainable connection is lamented through the metaphor of being a safe haven for their pain, a source of support when they needed it most. The acknowledgment that the loved one will not return soon, but the plea for their presence anyway, conveys a sense of heartbreak and longing for reconciliation despite the odds.

As the song progresses, the intensity of the singer's grief is palpable as they cry out the name of their beloved repeatedly, desperate for a sense of closeness even as they navigate the pain of their absence. The comparison of their tears to a burning candle suggests a sense of fragility and impermanence, highlighting the fear of losing the memory of their loved one as time passes. The emotional weight of their loss is amplified by the vivid imagery of the candle flickering, echoing the fleeting nature of life and emotions.

The final verse brings the song to a poignant conclusion, as the singer once again expresses the wish to be where their loved one is, acknowledging the role they could have played in easing their burdens. The act of extinguishing the candle symbolizes acceptance and closure, a bittersweet farewell to the past while holding onto the hope of reunion in the future. The overall narrative of "Pour Toi Pour Moi" conveys a profound sense of longing, grief, and resilience in the face of loss, inviting listeners to reflect on the complexities of love and memory.
