Pour l'impossible
Yseult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le cœur à mourir sous la terre
Tu te souviens de nous sur la photo
Sourire en moins, mes yeux plein d'eau
J'ai rêvé d'une vie nouvelle
Où je rêvais d'toi, où j'serais comme elle
Pourquoi je suis pas une solitaire?
Pourquoi c'est toi mon plan de carrière?
Pour l'impossible
Je t'aime
Tu vois
Comme toi tu files
Sans nous
Sans moi
Sans nous, sans moi
Marre des salauds, marre des poèmes
La vie c'est mieux si t'as la haine
J'ai commencé à tout écrire
Pour effacer mes souvenirs
T'aurais pu aimer un instant
Ce que j'proposais, t'avais bien l'temps
Moi sous la pluie, les mains gelées
Le cœur en miettes j'ai tout raté
Pour l'impossible
Je t'aime
Tu vois
Comme toi tu files
Sans nous
Sans moi
Pour l'impossible
Je t'aime
Tu vois
Comme toi tu files
Sans nous
Sans moi
Sans nous, sans moi
The lyrics of Yseult's song "Pour l'impossible" tell the story of a woman who is struggling to come to terms with a break-up. She describes her hands shaking in the winter and her heart feeling like it has been buried under the earth. She remembers looking at a photo with her significant other where she had a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She dreamed of a new life where she is like the woman in the photo- happy and carefree. But she questions why she cannot be content alone and why her ex was her career plan.
The chorus expresses her frustration with the situation- she loves her ex but he is moving on without her. She is tired of both the "bastards" and the "poems" that come with love and life. She has started to write everything down in an effort to erase her memories. She believes that her ex could have loved her eventually if he had given it time. But unfortunately, she has messed it all up and her heart is in pieces.
