Stp Lyrics in English by ILIONA
Décimé translates to "decimated" or "destroyed". It's a strong and evocative verb that isn't commonly found in everyday French pop songs.
In the lyrics, the artist sings, "J'ai tout décimé la moi d'avant" (I decimated the old me). This powerful imagery suggests a complete and deliberate destruction of her past self, highlighting a significant transformation or a break from who she used to be. It's a striking way to express personal change.
Have you ever felt like you're just dragging yourself through life, repeating the same old patterns? That's exactly what Iliona is singing about in "Stp" (which is short for "S'il te plaît," meaning "Please"). She opens with "J'ai trainé / Oui, encore" [I've been dragging myself / Yes, again], setting the mood for a feeling of being stuck.
She's looking for comfort, asking "S'il te plaît / Serre-moi fort" [Please / Hold me tight], as if she's been through a lot. She talks about turning everything "dans tous les mille sens" [in a thousand directions] and feeling lost at a "Bal masqué, j'trouve plus ma chance" [Masquerade ball, I can't find my luck anymore]. It sounds like she's been pretending for a long time, saying "J'ai tout oublié, j'faisais semblant" [I forgot everything, I was pretending] and even "J'ai tout décimé la moi d'avant" [I decimated the me from before]. It's a really honest look at feeling disconnected and wondering how things used to be, or how to even move forward when even in her songs, the person she's singing to doesn't listen: "Même dans mes chansons, tu m'écoutes pas" [Even in my songs, you don't listen to me]. It's a relatable feeling of being unheard and longing for a genuine connection.
