Watcha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
une parodie pâle du bien paraître, social total mental, j'me mens!
Depuis longtemps déjà dans mon sang se cache ce qui tâche mes semblants,
juste un verre de ce blanc pour parler libre-ment!
C'est tellement plus communicant! C'est tellement plus in! Dans le vent!
Désinhibant ma timidité dans la communauté!
T'entends pas le tic et tac qui résonne dans ma tête ? Ding dong, qui sombre ?
Non, je voile ma face, j'veux pas d' trace, ni cure, ni aide, ni quoi que ce soit, j'angoisse!
Depuis longtemps déjà dans mon sang se cache ce qui tâche mes semblants,
juste un verre de ce blanc pour parler plus sou-vent!
C'est tellement plus communicant! C'est tellement plus in! Dans le vent!
Désinhibant ma timidité dans la communauté!
J'ai beau faire l'effort, mais ma crise m'enlise, je pars en vrac! mec! et tout se détraque!
Mon talon d'Achille, une épine qui me ruine tant
Je maîtrise plus ma tête, c'est net, depuis longtemps, j'ai beau faire l'effort
J'n'ai pas les nerfs si solides, j'suis livide, toujours la même sensation qu'un poison lent
coule dans mes veines, et me mène vers le néant, le problème c'est que ça fait trop longtemps
Depuis longtemps déjà dans mon sang, se cache ce qui tâche mes semblants
Depuis longtemps je suis sur les nerfs, mais il y'a rien a faire en dedans!
Depuis longtemps déjà dans mon sang, se cache ce qui tache mes semblants! Awaalidi
The song Clean by Watcha speaks about the struggle of a person who tries to maintain a clean appearance, but inside they feel hollow and ruined. The person is a parody of social norms, trying to fit in but feeling like they're lying to themselves. They reveal that their façade is stained by something that's been hiding in their blood for a long time. They find relief and liberation in drinking alcohol, which helps them open up and communicate better. However, they also acknowledge that it's become an obsession that possesses them.
The person is aware of the voices in their head that signal their decline, but they choose to cover their face and avoid any help or cure. They feel anxious and unable to control their crisis, which they describe as an Achilles heel that ruins them. They realize that they've lost control over their mind, and the poison of their addiction flows in their veins, pushing them towards nothingness. Despite their efforts, they can't keep themselves together and have been on the edge for too long. The pain has become a part of them, and they can't do anything about it.
Overall, the song Clean portrays the struggles of someone who's trapped in their own cycle of addiction and is unable to break free. They try to keep up appearances, but their inner turmoil is eating them alive, and they feel powerless to stop it.
