Rentrer Chez Moi Lyrics in English Christine and the Queens

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rentrer Chez Moi by Christine and the Queens from French to English.
That's no reason
To f*ck everything up
That's no reason
I was angry
I don't know how anymore
To ask to be loved
I'm impatient
I miss you so much
And then every morning
I get up
And I still wonder
What happened to me
And then every morning
Like in a dream
I still wonder
What happened to me
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Nobody had told me
That so much light
Could escape
From under the earth
Nobody had told me a thing
I had to let it happen
Speak to the child
About the passing of time
And then every morning
I get up
And I still wonder
What happened to me
And then every morning
Like in a dream
I still wonder
What happened to me
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Take the time
To bring back to life
The life from before
Letter after letter
Every morning since
I dream myself
As something
That the wind lifts
Never give again
Any news
In your absence
Everything's revealed
And then every morning
I get up
And I still wonder
What happened to me
And then every morning
Like in a dream
I still wonder
What happened to me
I wanna go home
I wanna go home

SONG MEANING

Christine and the Queens invites us into the restless mind of someone who wakes up every morning thinking, “What on earth happened to me?” The verses swing between anger, confusion, and tender longing, all orbiting one urgent mantra: “Je veux rentrer chez moi” (I want to go home). Home is not just four walls here, it is a place of emotional safety where love is clear and time feels gentle. The singer marvels at unexpected “light” that burst from underground, talks to her inner child, and admits she no longer knows how to ask for love, painting a vivid picture of a soul caught off-guard by life’s intensity.

Beneath the catchy synth-pop groove lies a universal yearning to undo chaos and return to a simpler, truer self. The repeated morning routine—getting up, questioning, dreaming—mirrors the cyclical nature of healing, showing how we rehearse our way back to equilibrium. By the end, the song feels like a compassionate pep talk: take your time, write your feelings letter after letter, and let the wind lift whatever new version of you emerges. Until then, keep singing “I want to go home,” because naming your desire is the first step toward finding it.
