Comme D'habitude Lyrics in English M. Pokora
Semblant means 'pretense' or 'feigning'. It's most often used in the phrase "faire semblant," which means 'to pretend' or 'to make believe'.
In "Comme D'habitude," the singer repeatedly talks about "faire semblant" – pretending to be happy, pretending everything is fine, and even pretending to be in love. This word perfectly captures the song's central theme of a couple living a life of pretense, making it both interesting and deeply meaningful to the lyrics.
Comme d’habitude literally means “as usual,” and that simple phrase sets the mood for the whole song. M. Pokora paints the morning-to-night routine of a couple who keep acting like everything is fine even though the love has cooled. From pulling up the blanket so his partner does not get cold to sipping coffee alone in a silent kitchen, the narrator checks every box of a normal day, yet each action feels hollow.
The real heartbreak hides in the pretending: smiling at work, laughing with friends, sharing a bed at night, even making love… all comme d’habitude. Beneath the ritual there is a lonely man masking tears and a distant partner who also plays along. The song turns an everyday schedule into an emotional roller-coaster, reminding us how routine can be the perfect disguise for fading passion.
