Coeur de Pirate’s “On S'aimera Toujours” is a cinematic love scene set against chilly November streets and glowing scarlet lights. The singer arrives bruised by past battles, “le mal” still nipping at her heels, yet everything shifts when a new partner steps into the dance. Their shared breath becomes medicine, sealing wounds that old memories left behind. Rather than running from the darkness, the couple transforms it: if the past shakes them, it is only because they are busy dreaming of tomorrow. Like phoenixes they “revive from their ashes,” trembling together in the best possible way.
At its core, the song is about choosing love as a fearless refuge. Gossip, past heartbreak, even lurking personal demons lose their power when two people lock eyes — her brown with flecks of green, his vivid emerald — and feel their hearts stretch wide. The chorus stamps the promise: under those red lights, they will “love each other forever.” It is tender, a little haunted, but ultimately triumphant, reminding us that real intimacy does not erase scars. Instead, it invites another soul to breathe beside us until every wound learns to heal.
