Avec une fille
Sorel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je suis un garçon à condition
De cacher mes sentiments et mes émotions
Je suis un garçon mais à quoi bon ?
Comme les garçons bien sages au fond
Je n'oserais pas tenir la comparaison
Avec une fille
Aux yeux d'opale
Qui se déplace
Comme une cible
Je suis excité comme un enfant
Un adolescent devenu grand
Sous mes regards je cache, je cache, ce que j'attends
Avec une fille
Avec une fille
Aux yeux d'opale
Qui se déplace
Comme une cible
Avec une...
Aux yeux d'opale
Qui se déplace
Comme une cible
Aux yeux d'opale
Qui se déplace
Comme une cible
(Merci à Bertille pour cettes paroles)
The song "Avec une fille" by Sorel portrays the struggle of a boy trying to conform to societal norms and expectations of masculinity. The lyrics emphasize his frustration with having to hide his true emotions and feelings, as he feels that he cannot compete with other boys who fit the conventional masculine mold. He longs for the company of a girl who, he describes as having "opalescent eyes" and moves "like a target." These lyrics suggest that the singer sees girls as otherworldly beings, who possess a certain allure that he cannot resist. Despite his desires, he is unable to overcome the societal conventions that dictate his behavior as a man.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Avec une fille" or "with a girl," which emphasizes the singer's desire to break free from the masculine constraints that hold him back. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes his longing and emphasizes the contrast between his current reality and his desired state.
The last line of the song is sung repeatedly, emphasizing the girl's opalescent eyes and the way she moves like a target. The use of the word "target" could be interpreted in a poignant or negative manner, with the singer implying that the girl he desires is out of his reach.
Overall, the song expresses a poignant and emotional yearning for a girl that seemingly represents the singer's desire to break free from restrictive societal expectations of masculinity.
