Le jour se lève
Weepers Circus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je crois m’être éveillé mais je ne me lèverai pas.
Il est l’heure, j’ai peur et j’ai froid.
Voici que le temps passe et que moi je trépasse.
J’ai beaucoup gagné, j’ai peu perdu,
J’ai peu donné, j’ai beaucoup reçu.
Mais le jour se lève et tout au bout de l’épreuve,
Quelque chose change, rien ne s’achève…




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Weepers Circus's song "Le jour se lève" convey a sense of struggle and introspection. The opening line, "Je crois m’être éveillé mais je ne me lèverai pas," translates to "I think I woke up but I won't get up." This line represents a reluctance to face the challenges of the day, perhaps due to fear or a feeling of being overwhelmed. The following lines, "Il est l’heure, j’ai peur et j’ai froid," meaning "It's time, I'm scared and I'm cold," further emphasize the character's apprehension and vulnerability.


As the lyrics continue, the passage of time is mentioned: "Voici que le temps passe et que moi je trépasse," which translates to "Here, time passes and I'm dying." This line suggests a feeling of being trapped or stagnant, as if time keeps moving forward while the character feels stuck or unfulfilled. The singer reflects on their accomplishments and losses, stating, "J’ai beaucoup gagné, j’ai peu perdu, J’ai peu donné, j’ai beaucoup reçu" (I've gained a lot, I've lost little, I've given little, I've received a lot). This line indicates a sense of imbalance and raises questions about the meaning and purpose of their actions.


However, despite the challenges and uncertainties, there is a glimmer of hope in the line, "Mais le jour se lève et tout au bout de l’épreuve, Quelque chose change, rien ne s’achève" (But the day rises and at the end of the ordeal, something changes, nothing ends). This suggests that even in the face of adversity, there is a potential for transformation and growth.


Overall, "Le jour se lève" explores themes of fear, introspection, and the potential for change in the midst of life's challenges.
