L'Assasymphonie Lyrics in English Florent Mothe

“L’Assasymphonie” is a wordplay that blends assassin and symphony, and the song feels exactly like that: a dramatic, nocturnal duel between dark thoughts and soaring melodies. Florent Mothe sings as a tortured artist who cannot sleep, stalked by a “killer symphony” in his mind. The lyrics paint a picture of insomnia, envy, and self-destruction: he resents lovers, fights the inner enemy that “fêtes his defeats”, and drowns his fears in chaotic music. Every line swings between elegance and violence, turning his mental turmoil into a grand, if unsettling, musical performance.

At its core, the song is about jealousy and obsession. Inspired by the character of Salieri in Mozart, l’Opéra Rock, Mothe’s narrator feels talentless next to the brilliance he longs for, so he vows his nights to requiems, curses, and blasphemy. The “assasymphonie” becomes both weapon and refuge, a place where he can kill his phobias with dissonant chords while admitting that his own harmony “sounds false.” The result is a flamboyant confession of envy wrapped in theatrical rock, perfect for anyone who loves a bit of operatic drama with their angst.
