Le coupable
Weepers Circus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Devant moi tout est dit, ni témoin, ni balance
Tout se lit dans tes yeux, dans tes mains, dans tes transes
Cet être en tout point misérable
C’est toi
La courbe de ta bouche est mue par le silence
Mais tout parle déjà qu’à peine tu ne le penses
Le monde se cherche un coupable
C’est toi

Mais le coupable est là
Le coupable est là
Mais le coupable est là
C’est toi…

Sur le pas suspendu d’une indicible danse
Tes yeux cherchent l’issue mais ne voient que souffrance
Cet être en tout point misérable
C’est toi
Que de sang déversé par tes mains, quand on pense
À celle qui cria, supplia ta clémence
Le monde se cherche un coupable
C’est toi

Mais le coupable est là
Mais le coupable est là
Ce que je vois c’est toi
C’est toi

Devant moi tout est dit, l’incroyable romance
C’est moi dans le miroir, c’est moi dans la balance
Cet être en tout point misérable
C’est moi
Ce reflet d’un tueur qui attend sa sentence
C’est moi qui condamnais, qui jugeais tes offenses




Le monde a trouvé son coupable
C’est moi

Mais le coupable est là
Mais le coupable c’est moi
Ce que je vois c’est moi
C’est moi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Le coupable" by Weepers Circus depict a powerful narrative of self-awareness and introspection. The singer is addressing someone directly, pointing out that everything is evident and transparent before them. There are no witnesses or scales needed to determine the truth, as everything can be seen in the other person's eyes, hands, and gestures. The person being addressed is described as utterly miserable, with even the curve of their mouth revealing their inner turmoil. Despite their attempts at remaining silent, everything about them screams guilt. The world is searching for a culprit, and in this case, it is them.


In the following verses, the focus shifts to the internal struggle of the individual being addressed. They are portrayed as being caught in an indescribable dance and searching for a way out, only to be met with pain and suffering at every turn. The imagery of blood on their hands and the memory of someone crying and begging for mercy highlights the weight of their actions and the consequences they must face. Once again, the world is looking for someone to blame, and the target is clear - it is them.


As the song progresses, a twist is revealed. The perspective shifts, and it becomes evident that the real guilty party is not the person being addressed but the singer themselves. The mirror reflection shows a figure filled with regret, waiting for judgment and sentencing for their own wrongdoings. They acknowledge their hypocrisy of condemning and judging the other person's offenses while being guilty of their own misdeeds. The realization dawns that the world has found its culprit, and it is the singer - the one who thought they were passing judgment on others is now facing their own reckoning.


The repetition of "Le coupable est là" emphasizes the theme of accountability and serves as a haunting reminder of the consequences of one's actions. The lyrics suggest a journey of self-discovery, where perceptions are shattered, and the true culprit is unmasked. Through poignant imagery and introspective reflections, the song delves into themes of guilt, self-awareness, and the complexity of human nature. It challenges the listener to confront their own flaws and acknowledge the capacity for both good and evil that lies within each of us.
