Combustible Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Home / Lyrics Translation / Coeur De Pirate / Combustible

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Combustible by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.

We met, I was pretty fragile

Stars sank into the shape of our eyes

I was worn out by fabulous lies

And you pulled me out of the depths, the hollows

But I warned you, monsters hide

Deep in my heart, shifting inside me

Yet free-spirited

In secret, I pray

That my double never breaks free

So just drop the night

The one that makes me get home later and later

And when will you know to stop

You can't change me, I'm a broken being

But understand at last, I'm combustible

I can't stop, I'm not docile

But finally let me fall and drown my pain

We'll leave each other tomorrow

And when midnight comes

I feel I'm changing

The thirst for more defines my control

Hungry for love, greedy for remorse

I look for comfort in my surroundings

But I warned you, monsters hide

Deep in my heart, shifting inside me

Yet free-spirited

In secret, I pray

That my double never breaks free

So just drop the night

The one that makes me get home later and later

And when will you know to stop

You can't change me, I'm a broken being

But understand at last, I'm combustible

I can't stop, I'm not docile

But finally let me fall and drown my pain

We'll leave each other tomorrow

So just drop the night

The one that makes me get home later and later

And when will you know to stop

You can't change me, I'm a broken being

But understand at last, I'm combustible

I can't stop, I'm not docile

But finally let me fall and drown my pain

We'll leave each other tomorrow

SONG MEANING

"Combustible" is a darkly romantic confession wrapped in dreamy French pop. Coeur de Pirate sings from the perspective of someone who feels both rescued and doomed by love. She remembers meeting her partner when she was “fragile” and tired of “fabulous lies,” yet their gaze pulled her out of deep emotional holes. Despite that salvation, she keeps warning her savior about the “monsters” hiding in her heart, creatures that surface after midnight and make her restless, destructive, and, in her own words, combustible – ready to ignite at the slightest spark.

The chorus becomes a plea: “You can’t change me, I’m a broken being… let the night fall, let me drown my sorrow.” She knows her nature is unruly and fears hurting the person she loves, so she asks them to let her go before she burns them both. Ultimately, the song explores the tension between yearning for love and fearing one’s inner chaos, painting a vivid picture of passion that is as explosive as it is heartbreaking.
