Mortem
Vegastar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Emmène-moi
Je baisse les bras

À travers les ages nous avons joué
T'as souvent frappé a ma porte
Mais moi je n'étais pas près
Je sais que tu fini toujours par gagner
Aujourd'hui j' suis plus assez fort

Plus rien ne m'effraie alors

Emmène-moi
Ça fait longtemps que tu me cherches
Je baisse les bras
Je sens le froid qui me traverse

J'ai passé mes nuits a supplié
Je voulais que tu m'ignores
Que tu cesses de me hanter
Au final ces prières m'ont épuisés
Je n'ai plus besoin de report
Viens me trouver allais

Emmène-moi
Ça fait longtemps que tu me cherches
Je baisse les bras
Je sens le froid qui me traverse

Les yeux mis clos
Je te rends mon souffle et ma peau
Sans un sanglot
Je te rends mon souffle et ma peau
Les yeux mis clos
Je te rends mon souffle et ma peau
Sans un sanglot
Je sens le froid qui me traverse

Emmène-moi
Ça fait longtemps que tu me cherches
Je baisse les bras
Je sens le froid qui me traverse

Je te rends mon souffle et ma peau

Je te rends mon souffle et ma peau
Emmène-moi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vegastar's song "Mortem" speak about surrendering to death. The opening lines, "Emmène-moi, je baisse les bras" which translate to "Take me, I give up," convey the singer's acceptance of their fate. They acknowledge that death has been a constant presence throughout their life, and that, despite their efforts to avoid it or overcome it, it will ultimately win. The singer is tired of fighting and is willing to let go.

The second verse explains that the singer has been begging for mercy and trying to avoid death, but their efforts have only exhausted them. They no longer fear it and welcome it instead. The repetition of "Je sens le froid qui me traverse" which means "I feel the cold that goes through me" emphasizes the sensation of leaving this world and entering the afterlife.

The closing lines, "Je te rends mon souffle et ma peau" which translates to "I give you my breath and my skin," are a metaphorical representation of the singer's passing. They are willingly giving themselves over to death and accepting that it is their time to go.
