Dans Ma Tête
Tarmac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'est le printemps que je regrette,
Sur ma tête petit plateau de mes trop courtes avancées
J'ai déposé mon cigare et mes allumettes,
Et dans ma main petite avancée de ma tête
J'ai l'intention de le fumer.
Dans ma tête petite pièce de mes grandes contrariétés
Quand ma tête sous son chapeau chante à tue-tête
C'est d'impatience que je m'apprête,
Sur ma tête petit plateau de mes trop lentes avancées
J'ai déposé et son visage et son amulette,
Et de mes lèvres des pourparlers de ma tête
j'ai l'intention de l'aborder.
The lyrics to Tarmac's song Dans Ma Tête speak to the complex emotions and thoughts that can swirl around inside a person's head. The singer describes a head that is under a hat and singing loudly, with the regret of missing springtime. They also speak of a plateau on their head, representing the emotions that they have not yet processed or overcome. They have set down their cigar and matches, indicating that they are putting away these distractions in order to focus on their own internal struggles.
The second verse describes the head as a small room filled with frustration and conflicting thoughts. The singer allows elements of their thoughts and memories to come and go freely within this small room. The chorus repeats, with the singing and frustration building, as the singer prepares to confront and talk to someone about these internal struggles. The song creates a vivid picture of the tangled and confusing thoughts that can sometimes take over in our minds.

Quand ma tête sous son chapeau chante à tue-tête
When I sing loudly in my head beneath my hat
C'est le printemps que je regrette
It's the springtime that I miss
Sur ma tête petit plateau de mes trop courtes avancées
On my head, a small plateau for my too-short progress
J'ai déposé mon cigare et mes allumettes
I've put down my cigar and my matches
Et dans ma main petite avancée de ma tête
And in my hand, a small advance of my head
J'ai l'intention de le fumer.
I intend to smoke it
Dans ma tête petite pièce de mes grandes contrariétés
In my head, a small space for my big contradictions
Je laisse aller des éléments des silhouettes
I let elements of silhouettes escape
C'est d'impatience que je m'apprête
Impatience is what I prepare for
Sur ma tête petit plateau de mes trop lentes avancées
On my head, a small plateau for my too-slow progress
J'ai déposé et son visage et son amulette
I've set down both his face and amulet
Et de mes lèvres des pourparlers de ma tête
And from my lips, talks from my head
j'ai l'intention de l'aborder.
I intend to approach him
