Black City Parade Lyrics in English Indochine

Home / Lyrics Translation / Indochine / Black City Parade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Black City Parade by Indochine from French to English.

I stay ice-cold, cold like a tank

I fear nothing from afar, yet I tremble

My feet are gonna smash the window, and I give it to you

I deliver it to you

Like a sex friend and then nothing more

Me, I love love, yeah when it goes fast

I've got a way to see

I've got a way to me

I'll take you at night

I'll take you away from here

And time will bring me

places where you'll be

and the wind will force me

to bend the fear of you

I've got a way to see

I've got a way to me

I'll arrange too

I'll arrange our lives

Then I feel your skin, your body, you

So we'll stay naked against a broken world

Your empires slipped off me without holding on

And already I feel ready to resist you

You see, we'll know how to run away

They saw me walk on water

F*ck, life is beautiful

A tear down my back

The world's dead, or so it seems

I feel no remorse taking you there

And we’ve got no time left to waste

We'll stay free to resist

I've got a way to see

I've got a way to me

I'll take you here

I'll take you away for life

and you'll forget

the fear of me

When time betrays us

Then yeah, we'll forget it

Your face, our faces

A parade and then it goes away

I don't know

Where we're going, but we'll go

I've got a way to be

I've got a way to me

I'll take you at night

I'll take you away from here

And time will give us

places where we'll go

and the wind will force us

to bend the fear of ourselves

Then you feel my skin, my body, and me

Already inside you and me

Your empires slipped away without holding on

I enter your life like I enter the night

You see, we'll know how to escape

SONG MEANING

Black City Parade drops us into a neon-lit city where love feels like an undercover mission. The narrator switches from tough, tank-like confidence to trembling vulnerability, inviting a partner to smash the shop window of routine and run away into the night. As skyscraper empires crumble and the world seems “dead,” the pair promise to stay nakedly honest, melt fear, and invent their own fast-moving romance soundtrack.

Behind the pulsing beat, Indochine paints freedom as a daring road trip: I’ve got a way to see… I’ll take you away. The song balances apocalyptic imagery with a wild optimism that life is still beautiful, if you’re bold enough to escape the ruins and dance through the dark. It is a call to shake off hesitation, trust raw instincts, and parade through the black city together, hand in hand, hearts racing toward whatever comes next.
