Apesanteur translates to "weightlessness" or "zero gravity." It's a beautiful and somewhat uncommon word that evokes a sense of floating and detachment.
In the song, the lyric "Que je m'appuie sur trop d'apesanteur" (That I rely on too much weightlessness) suggests a feeling of being ungrounded or not fully present in reality. It adds a poetic depth to the character's struggles, implying a desire to escape or a lack of firm footing in life.
Need a feel-good anthem about believing in love when life feels a little dusty? In "Elle Me Dit," Ben L’Oncle Soul lets us eavesdrop on a heartfelt conversation between two partners. She dreams of fresh air, distant seas and a simple happiness far from their routine. He listens to her doubts about money, direction and the weight of gravity itself, yet keeps smiling because, in his mind, their story already has a perfect script.
The song balances wanderlust with reassurance: yes, their pockets are empty and the future is blurry, but they still have "tout ce qu’il nous faut"—everything they really need. By the final chorus, you can almost see them shrugging off fear, ready to write the next chapter together. It’s a soulful reminder that love plus optimism is sometimes the best passport of all.
