Perdus Lyrics in English Angèle

Imagine two passengers in a plane that suddenly starts losing altitude. That is the picture Angèle paints in “Perdus”. Once, the couple soared high on fresh love and shared pride. Now they watch their relationship spiral downward while they circle the same old arguments and waste precious time. Friends warned them, yet they “wanted the descent”, and the repeated word perdus (“lost”) echoes the empty space growing between them.

Beneath the break-up story lies another layer: Angèle’s own clash with sudden fame. She admits enjoying success, yet freedom slips away as pressure mounts. The song weaves personal doubt, public expectation, and romantic disillusion into one melancholic confession. By the end, she longs for “the tender days at the start”, reminding us that when pride, ambition, and boredom collide, even the brightest love can lose its wings.
