Discover the labyrinth
For the span of a life
Picking Corinth raisins
And ruby peaches
Walking, running exhausts us
Let's stay seated
In the middle of the labyrinth
Without looking for an exit
You wander
Alone in your life
As if it were
That of another
You wander
Alone in your life
As if it were
Of another
Look
Up there
The balloon finally rises
The child who was singing
Has undone the tie
Look
How beautiful
Hands full
Or hands joined
We're all lost
In the labyrinth
In the labyrinth
Don't rush
Don't be scared
Stay a bit here
The prettily painted door
You'll stumble right onto it
Follow a trail
A footprint
We can, my daughter
But this path
That we take
We give it back, you know
You wander
Alone in your life
As if it were
That of another
We wander
Alone in our lives
As if they were
Others'
Look
Up there
The balloon finally rises
The child who was singing
Has undone the tie
Look
How beautiful
Hands full
Or hands joined
We're all lost
In the labyrinth
Look
Up there
The balloon finally rises
The child who was singing
Has undone the tie
Look
How beautiful
Hands full
Or hands joined
We're all lost
In the labyrinth
Let me go
Because the day is breaking
Let me decorate
The labyrinth
You think you're alive
But that's how you die
You're caught in the trap
You make a dwelling
Let me go
Because the day is breaking
Let me decorate
The labyrinth
The labyrinth
Look
Up there
The balloon finally rises
The child who was singing
Has undone the tie
Look
How beautiful
Hands full
Or hands joined
We're all lost
In the labyrinth
Look
Up there
The balloon finally rises
The child who was singing
Has undone the tie
Look
How beautiful
Hands full
Or hands joined
We're all lost
In the labyrinth

SONG MEANING

Imagine life as a giant maze filled with sweet fruits, painted doors and floating balloons. In “Le Labyrinthe,” Feu! Chatterton invites us to pause in the very middle of that maze, look up and marvel at the beauty above while admitting we are all a little bit lost. The song balances gentle advice — “be in no hurry, have no fear” — with a subtle warning: if you get too comfortable decorating the walls of your personal labyrinth, you might mistake the trap for a home.

Throughout the lyrics, the band contrasts childhood freedom (the balloon that finally breaks its string) with adult routine (walking through life as if it belonged to someone else). By repeating “Nous sommes tous perdus,” the singer reminds us that feeling lost is universal, yet the answer is not frantic escape. Instead, the song suggests reclaiming our own path, staying curious and taking time to look around at the small wonders that make the journey worthwhile.
