You, it's me, me, it's you
But I'm not in my place
It's hard when the truth hits me in the face
I refuse to believe it
But it's enough for you to hug me
It's the return to the scrapyard, the starting point
I understand all the signs
I'm far from stupid
I know it's not possible
I read between your lines
I understand all the signs
Hope at the end of the line
I know but I stay
In your life, I survive
I already know the end
I know but I stay
Reality, I curse it
But I let time take its course
Loneliness replaces you
When everyone takes their place
And suddenly, it's the void that surfaces
Feelings hold me back
My heart that sings to you at the top of its lungs
It's the same story repeating itself
Like the first letter of your first name
Should I stay silent?
You have already condemned me
I no longer count the years that I gave you
Tell me, what do we do?
Don't leave me standing there
I know but I stay
In your life, I survive
I already know the end
I know but I stay
Reality, I curse it
But I let time take its course

m'interdis — forbid myself

M'interdis comes from the verb "s'interdire," meaning "to forbid oneself" or "to prohibit oneself from doing something." It's a strong, reflective verb that conveys an internal struggle.

In the song, the artist sings, "Je m'interdis d'y croire" (I forbid myself from believing it). This reveals a deep emotional conflict where she's actively trying to prevent herself from falling for something she knows is ultimately not good for her, making it a compelling and relatable word.
