You told me that I didn't understand anything
Then I asked what we were talking about
Nope
Now I don't want to talk about it anymore
Chat, I'm tired of it
I'm just wasting my chances
Before, I loved danger
Now I'm fleeing the changes
I'm not looking for the truth but frankly
I couldn't find it if you feel like I'm lying, ouch
What the fuck, my head hurts
Eh
People who talk on TV are often the people who give you headaches
I'm sick of it
I have trouble watching when I'm not there
I wander around and end up on the ground, dead
I finish my texts and my paras
I forget everything, it's not uncommon
If I don't accept it, I'll say it's just a test
You told me you didn't catch it, it doesn't matter
What
You told me I didn't understand anything
Then I asked what we were talking about
Nah, nah
Now I don't want to talk about it anymore
You told me I'm fed up
You keep telling me that you're wasting your chances
The next day, I find you on the stairs
I'm not looking for the truth but frankly
I know we can't find her
If you lie, I think
Honey, we really need to talk
I don't know what to do when you're not here
Drunk, I don't go up the steps at home, I climb them
The passing trains
Medicines, people leaving
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na
I don't know what to do when you're not here
Drunk, I don't go up the steps at home, I climb them
The passing trains
Medicines, people leaving
People who leave

gaspiller — to waste

Gaspiller means "to waste" or "to squander". It's a word that carries a sense of regret and lost opportunity, making it quite impactful.

In the song, the artist repeatedly uses this word to express frustration about wasting chances and time, particularly in relationships. For example, "J'fais que de gaspiller mes chances" (I just keep wasting my chances) highlights a feeling of helplessness and regret, which is a central theme of the song.

Jean's "Tu M'as Dit" is a really relatable song about those frustrating conversations where you feel totally misunderstood. The singer is tired of talking, saying, "Discuter, j'en ai marre" [Discussing, I'm fed up], and feeling like they're just wasting opportunities. It's a shift from their past self, too: "Avant, j'aimais le danger / Maintenant, j'fuis les changements" [Before, I liked danger / Now, I run from changes].

There's a sense of confusion and a headache from all the noise, especially from people on TV. The lyrics also touch on a relationship that's struggling, with lines like "Chérie, faut vraiment qu'on parle" [Honey, we really need to talk]. It paints a picture of someone feeling lost and out of control when their partner isn't around, even admitting to escalating the stairs when drunk instead of just walking up them. It's a raw look at communication breakdowns and the chaos that can follow.
