I don't wanna face it
I'd rather run from myself, from myself
Until I disappear
I'd rather say nothing, say nothing
I'd rather forget
I'd rather lie to myself, lie to myself
Be a thing
Just a thing
They tell us to always hold on, to smile
For who for what never weaken
Tell me, what do you do so you don't perish
They even tell us how to laugh
How to act like we're in control
And you, what do you always do to obey
Lay on my shoulder
Your pains and your wounds
If needed, I'll come dress them
We know each other, we know
Lay on my shoulder your tears please
If needed, I'll come dry them
We know each other, we know
A layer of sadness that's gonna kill me
That's gonna kill me
Why are my flaws so clear
There, in the grey
One last tear
I always get back up proud
When I'm raging
But no smiles left up there
I've got no more fury now
And I'm disarming now
Till it hurts
I can't hear myself think anymore
Just dirty stuff crowding my head
I don't sleep anymore, I don't drink anymore
Now my heart's going to sh*t
I did everything to never let go
And you know, yeah, you know
How, yeah, I'm exhausted
Lay on my shoulder your pains and your wounds
If needed, I'll come dress them
We know each other, we know
Lay on my shoulder your tears please
If needed, I'll come dry them
We know each other, we know
They tell us to always hold on, to smile
For who for what never weaken
Tell me, what do you do so you don't perish
They even tell us how to laugh
How to act like we're in control
And you, what do you always do to obey
Lay on my shoulder your pains and your wounds
If needed, I'll come dress them
We know each other, we know
Lay on my shoulder your tears please
If needed, I'll come dry them
We know each other, we know
We know each other, we know
Like a caged lion
I keep the rage so I don't snap
It's already been way too long
That I feel the ecstasy of this late summer
Stop, it's too late to find me handsome
You messed everything up, you messed everything up
And I don't wanna see déjà-vu anymore
You left me, I fell
We were so everything
And we turn into almost nothing
That you pass by in any street
It's cold all of a sudden
It's far from over, you know
Like many things nothing's ever certain
Just one last kiss without checking the time
Like one last glance
I've got no other heart left
I'm gonna stitch up my prose
And leave my fears
Just one last kiss without checking the time
Like one last glance
I've got no other heart left
I'm gonna stitch up my prose
And leave my fears
To others, to others, to others
To others, to others, to others
I already know I've lost everything
I already know you've lost everything
In my eyes you look beaten down
The memory stays on our lips
A bit of sex before the truce
A bit of you I still remember
Trace my body again one last time
Don't erase what you feel for me, babe
I offer you one last dance
Not one last chance
Stop, it's too late for us to look good
I messed everything up, I messed everything up
And I don't wanna see déjà-vu anymore
Just one last kiss without checking the time
Like one last glance
I've got no other heart left
I'm gonna stitch up my prose
And leave my fears
Just one last kiss without checking the time
Like one last glance
I've got no other heart left
I'm gonna stitch up my prose
And leave my fears
To others, to others, to others
To others, to others, to others
Just one last kiss
Just one last

SONG MEANING

Need a breather from the pressure to always look fine? “Pause X Kiss” pairs two of France’s most magnetic voices, Eddy De Pretto and Yseult, in a raw confession that feels like pushing the pause button on life’s nonstop performance. Both singers admit they sometimes want to run away from their own reflections, from society’s rule book that says keep smiling, never crack. The refrain “On nous dit d'tenir toujours” (They tell us to always hold on) captures that weight, while the repeated offer “Pose sur mon épaule tes peines” (Lay your wounds on my shoulder) turns the song into a tender pact of mutual rescue.

The plot then zooms in on a love story at its breaking point. Exhaustion, sleepless nights, and haunting déjà-vus lead to one bittersweet decision: share one last kiss before letting go. It is part pep-talk, part breakup letter, all wrapped in pulsing beats and vulnerable harmonies. By the end you feel both the sting of loss and the relief of finally exhaling. “Pause X Kiss” is that cathartic moment when you admit you are tired, you offer a shoulder, and you choose honesty over perfection—set to a soundtrack that begs you to hit replay.
