Prémonition Lyrics in English Coeur De Pirate

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Prémonition by Coeur De Pirate from French to English.
I counted your steps
In the dance that separates the space of your choices
I wasn't alone
You count the flowers on your fingertips
That defy darkness and torment
But I'm drawn to vice
We come together and together
But can you wait for me?
And when day breaks, I come back to you
What I recognize is only emptiness in me
From abuse, I live off mistakes, your words like law
Like a premonition, we won't change
We won't change
Our screams bring down
The walls of a life we like to push
The limits of bodies
Those who share our trysts, our thoughts
We fall for pain
But we're drawn to our misery
We destroy together
But can you wait for me?
And when day breaks, I come back to you
What I recognize is only emptiness in me
From abuse, I live off mistakes, your words like law
Like a premonition, we won't change
We won't change
We won't change
We won't change
And when day breaks, I come back to you
What I recognize is only emptiness in me
From abuse, I live off mistakes, your words like law
Like a premonition, we won't change
We won't change
From abuse, I live off mistakes, your words like law
Like a premonition, we won't change
We won't change
Like a premonition
We won't change
We won't change
Like a premonition
We won't change

SONG MEANING

Prémonition paints the picture of a love that feels like a hypnotic dance: beautiful on the surface yet spinning in circles of temptation and regret. The singer counts her partner’s steps, admires the way he turns dark moments into fragile blossoms, but she admits she is irresistibly pulled toward “le vice.” Each dawn finds her rushing back to him, only to face an inner emptiness that his comforting words never quite fill.

The repeated line “On ne changera pas” (We won’t change) works like a crystal-ball warning. Both lovers smash boundaries, chase pleasure, and share the thrill of mutual destruction, yet still ask, “Can you wait for me?” It is a song about knowing a relationship is toxic, predicting its repeated mistakes, and surrendering to that fate anyway. Emotionally raw yet captivating, “Prémonition” reminds us how hard it can be to break free when chaos feels like home.
