Purgatoire
Trust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tiraillé par l'angoisse qui devient folie,
Trop de contraintes le poussaient à signer,
A se résigner, trop d'envies le poussaient
A pactiser, pactiser, individu commun ne tenant pas en place,
Doué, intelligent, mais noyé dans la masse,
Jamais un mot plus haut que l'autre,
Purgatoire seule issue face au dérisoire,
Purgatoire pour faire le vide, délaisser ma mémoire.
Ses fantasmes masquaient un monde inachevé,
Grouillant de pécheresses, d'argent, d'avidité,
Son avenir à lui avait dû fuir,
Fondant des raisonnements en fonction du passé,
La réalité tombe, l'inconnu prend sa place,
Et regarder en face son reflet dans la glace.
Purgatoire seule issue face au dérisoire,
Purgatoire pour faire le vide, délaisser ma mémoire.
Il avait le raisonnement, la simplicité des mots,
Les gens le respectaient modeste il était homme obstiné,
Par le diable fasciné, il allait essayer
Harmoniser ses idées ; il allait connaître la luxure, la célébrité;
Il s'adressait à Satan pour concrétiser, un pacte est toujours sûr.
Purgatoire seule issue face au dérisoire,
Purgatoire pour faire le vide, délaisser ma mémoire.
The lyrics of "Purgatoire" by Trust tell the story of a man who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is torn between his desires and his obligations, and he feels trapped by the constraints of his life. He is intelligent and talented, but he feels like he is just one of many, and he is afraid to speak up or stand out. His fantasies are a way of coping with his unfulfilled life, but they also lead him down a dangerous path. When he makes a pact with Satan in order to achieve his desires, he realizes too late that he has made a terrible mistake. The only way out is through purgatory, a place where he must face the consequences of his actions and try to find redemption.
The lyrics are a powerful metaphor for the human condition. We all have dreams and desires, but we also have obligations and responsibilities that can weigh us down. The idea of making a pact with the devil is a common theme in literature and mythology, representing the temptation to take shortcuts and make deals that ultimately lead to destruction. The idea of purgatory as a place of purging and redemption is also a common theme, representing the idea that we can learn from our mistakes and find a way to move forward.
