NO WAY
Taïro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu peux jouer avec les gens, tricher avec la vie
Mais tu peux l'faire avec toi-même
Mariama, dis-leur
There's no way, absolutely no way
That you can play your games on the truth
If you play your fake and foolish games
cnd all your life, all the time
cll you try is to run from your replies
cnd all your life, all the time
cll you try is to play tricks to your own mind
Je me demande c'que tu fis, pourquoi tu t'enfuis
Si tu veux être honnête, tiens tes promesses
Ce que tu cherches ailleurs attend à l'intérieur
Sors de ta cachette
Sinon, c'est no, there's no way
There's no way, there's no way
cnd I said, oh, there's no way
There's no way, there's no way
T'as beau être solitaire et égoïste
Une vie sans amour, c'est impossible
C'est comme un désert sans oasis
Tout comme un spliff ou un stick sans cannabis
Oh, tant te mentir, en fait, te pénalise
Mec, il serait temps que tu réalises
Tu perds toute notion d'humanisme
Plus tu t'brises, plus t'vides, plus t'enlises
Enlève ton masque, c'est pas le carnaval
Tombe le rideau, fini le festival
Cesse d'être l'otage de ton image
Montre ton vrai visage
Même si on sait tous que la vie peut faire mal
Qu'elle ressemble un peu à une course infernale
Mets-y toute ton énergie, mets-y toute ton âme
cnd there's no way, absolutely no way
That you can live your life without joy
It makes the birds sing, makes the flowers bloom in spring
It's the force that keeps this world turning
cnd all your life, all the time
cll you try is to be so goddamn serious
cnd then one day, maybe you wake up and say
That you wasted so many moments that were so damn precious
Sinon, c'est no, there's no way
There's no way, there's no way
cnd I said, oh, there's no way
There's no way, there's no way
Sinon, c'est no, there's no way
There's no way, there's no way
cnd I said, oh, there's no way
There's no way, there's no way
In Taïro's song "No Way," the lyrics speak to the idea that one cannot deceive others or manipulate life without facing consequences. The song opens with Taïro addressing Mariama, a name that symbolically represents the voice of truth and honesty. He remarks that while one may think they can play games with people and cheat life, they cannot hide from themselves. Mariama serves as a reminder that there is no way to escape the truth and that ultimately, those who engage in deception and manipulation will lose.
The lyrics continue with Taïro expressing his curiosity about why someone would run away from being honest and keeping their promises. He emphasizes that what one seeks externally can only be found within themselves and encourages the person to come out of hiding. The chorus reiterates that there is no way to continue down a path of deceit and avoidance, as the truth will always prevail.
Taïro then addresses the consequences of living a selfish and loveless existence. He compares it to a desert without an oasis or a joint without cannabis, emphasizing that living without love is impossible. He suggests that lying to oneself only leads to self-destruction and a loss of humanity. He urges the person to remove their mask, as life may be painful at times, but embracing their true self and putting energy and soul into it is essential.
In the second half of the song, Taïro emphasizes the importance of joy and the positive impact it has on life. He states that joy is what makes birds sing and flowers bloom, and it is the force that keeps the world turning. He criticizes the tendency to take life too seriously, ultimately wasting precious moments. The song concludes with the reaffirmation that there is no way to continue on in life without embracing joy and cherishing the precious moments that life offers.
