Y Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Les mots sont l'arme du menteur
Mon ego aime tellement qu'on le flatte
Les détails prennent parfois de l'ampleur
Nos failles sont des amis de longue dates

Et pourtant je me nomme, rock
C'est le nom qu'on me donne, rock

J'aimerais me libérer l'esprit
De tout ce qui cache ma vue
De tout ce qui conditionne ma vie
Je saurai trouver mon issue

C'est comme sa qu'on me nomme, rock
Dans ma tête il résonne, rock

Deux choses que je n'ai pas choisies
Mon nom et le milieu d'où je suis
Le reste fait partie de mes choix
Le reste doit partir en éclats
Pour enfin me sentir vivre
Enfin me sentir libre

Etre fier de ce nom, rock
Et lever haut le front, rock

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Y's song Rock speak about the power of words and how the ego can become easily swayed by flattery. The details can sometimes become blown out of proportion and highlight our flaws, which we have become well-acquainted with over time. Despite this, the singer identifies as "rock" and reflects on the desire to free their mind from all that is clouding their vision and conditioning their life. They hope to find a way out of this and feel alive and liberated.

The lyrics go on to mention two things that the singer did not choose: their name and the environment they come from. However, the rest of their choices play a significant role in their life, and the rest must shatter to feel alive and free. In the end, they remain proud of their name and hope to hold their head high.
