Jamais Assez
Vulgaires Machins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

avant que nos voix ne portent plus
que je ne l'entende plus
que l'étau se rapetisse
il faut que j'insiste

avant que mon coeur ne saigne plus
que mon poing ne s'élève plus
que la vie me consume
il faut que j'insiste

avant que je ne t'entende plus
que nos voix ne portent plus
que l'effort me répugne
il faut que j'insiste

avant que mon coeur ne batte plus
que mes yeux ne voient plus
il faut que j'insiste

à contester ce destin
qui m'dévore et m'enracine
refuser le destin qui se dessine

jamais assez
libre, jamais assez

avant que j'oublie la raison
que j'évite la question
que la vie me consume
il faut que j'insiste

avant d'oublier ma peine
d'enterrer ma résistance
d'en oublier l'importance
il faut que j'insiste

avant d'oublier la cause
d'enterrer ma voix
il faut que j'insiste

à contester ce destin
qui me dévore et m'enracine
refuser le destin qui se dessine

jamais assez
libre, jamais assez




jamais assez
libre, jamais assez

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vulgaires Machins's song "Jamais Assez" is a reflection of the struggles of the singer against the forces that try to limit and constrain his existence. The song has a sense of urgency and insistence, as the verses are focused on the need to resist and to fight against the things that threaten to silence the singer's voice and to extinguish his passions. The repetition of the phrase "il faut que j'insiste" emphasizes the need for the singer to persevere and to keep going, even when the obstacles seem insurmountable.


The first verse talks about the danger of losing hope and giving up before one's voice can be heard, before one's heart can feel or before the space closes in. The second and third verses are about the singer's need to keep resisting before his heart can no longer bear the pain or before he loses sight of what is important. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "jamais assez" twice, reinforces the idea that the singer's struggles are endless, and that he can never give up even if he attains his freedom. The fourth verse reflects similar concerns about forgetting the reason for the struggle and the danger of giving in to the forces that try to silence the singer's voice.


Overall, the song is a powerful call to resist and to fight against the things that threaten to limit our potential, our existence, and our soul. It is a message of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity and a reminder that our struggle for freedom and self-expression is never over.
