Le Stade Lyrics in English Fredz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Stade by Fredz from French to English.
I haven't been out in weeks
I'm scared to bump into you on the street
I post a few selfies on my story
I delete them as soon as you've seen them
I act like I've got loads of friends
Like I'm living in luxury
While I cry alone in my bed
Every time I see you on the bus
I haven't reached the stage
Where I'd tell you I'm stable
And that my heart, still intact
Is ready to take more bullets
I haven't reached the stage
Where I'd tell a woman
Everything I feel, face to face
Without being scared she'd break me
You can keep my hoodie
Anyway I never liked it
I'm gonna do big things
So you can say
To the other boys
That I already know how to love
But for now
I write music
That'll stay on my computer
Until the day
I get up from my bed
When I bring it
To a record label
And then it'll surely become a hit
And deep down it'll all be your fault
I'll string concerts together
From one day to the next
And for the first time I'll have reached
The stage where I'd tell you
That I'm stable
And that my heart, still intact
Is ready to take more bullets
I haven't reached the stage
Where I'd tell a woman
Everything I feel, face to face
Without being scared she'd break me
I could've brought you on stage
You would've signed autographs, yeah
We would've gone around the Earth
To dodge the photographers
Five-star hotel every night
You would've done everything, even movies
But honest, that won't happen
Because finally, for the first time
I'll have reached the stage
Where I'd tell you I'm stable
And that my heart, still intact
Is ready to take more bullets
I haven't reached the stage
Where I'd tell a woman
Everything I feel, face to face
Without being scared
She'd break my heart
Maybe I'll
Cry in two weeks
But I'll act like nothing's wrong
Like I don't hurt anymore
I'm reaching the stage
Where I can enjoy the life I live
The one where you're not in my head anymore
And I'm not in yours
Maybe I still love you a bit
That's the problem
But I'll act like nothing's wrong
Like I don't hurt anymore

SONG MEANING

Le Stade spins the tale of a young artist hiding behind Instagram filters and fake bravado while secretly nursing a bruised heart. Too scared to bump into his ex on the street, he posts flashy selfies, pretends to have a buzzing social life, then deletes the evidence as soon as she views it. In private he is a mess, crying on bus rides and clinging to a hoodie that now feels haunted by memories. The repeated line "J'ai pas atteint le stade" ("I haven’t reached the stage yet") captures his admission that he is far from emotionally stable and nowhere near ready to open his heart again.

Yet this very heartbreak becomes rocket fuel for his dreams. He imagines transforming the pain into hit songs, selling out stadiums, jet-setting from five-star hotel to five-star hotel, and finally reaching the stage where he can say, with confidence, that he is whole again. By the end he decides to act as if the hurt is gone, determined to live a life that no longer revolves around her. The song is a bittersweet anthem about the messy road to self-confidence, where pretending you are fine can sometimes be the first step toward actually getting there.
