Letter to my fears

I leave you

To my tears

I leave you

In the fury

Of your stresses

But now I die

If I stay

I lose the thread

I lose the intoxication

Light and fine

Of your tendernesses

Of our victories

Of life that caresses

When we laugh

I call the truce

In one hand dreams, in the other hopes

I leave

I abandon my pain

When I explore I breathe, I breathe

I abandon my pain

When I explore I breathe, I don't explain it

I won't prepare

I won't plan

I won't know

I'll just try

To live without planning ahead

What we'll be tomorrow

Because I have trouble believing

That we'll live serenely

By projecting ourselves so much

By forgetting now

And I've certainly suffered some

Losses too often

I call the truce

In one hand dreams, in the other hopes

I leave

I abandon my pain

When I explore I breathe, I breathe

I abandon my pain

When I explore I breathe, I don't explain it

trêve — truce

Trêve translates to "truce" or "ceasefire". It's a word often associated with conflict or war, making its appearance in a song about personal struggle particularly striking.

In the lyrics, Jérémy Frerot sings, "Je sonne la trêve" (I sound the truce), signifying a moment of surrender or a decision to stop fighting against his fears and anxieties. It represents a pivotal turning point in the song's narrative, where the singer chooses peace over continued struggle.

Jérémy Frerot's "Lettre À Vous" is like a powerful goodbye letter to all the things that hold us back. He's saying farewell to his fears, "Lettre à mes peurs, je vous quitte" [Letter to my fears, I'm leaving you], and leaving behind his tears, "À mes pleures, je vous laisse" [To my tears, I'm leaving you]. He feels trapped by the stress and worries, saying he'll "meurs si je reste" [die if I stay]. It's a song about breaking free from the negative cycle of overthinking and planning every step.

He talks about losing the joy and tenderness, "Je perds le fil, je perds l'ivresse légère et fine de vos tendresses" [I lose the thread, I lose the light and delicate intoxication of your tenderness]. Instead of constantly looking ahead and forgetting the present, he's choosing to live in the moment. He's making a truce, "Je sonne la trêve" [I sound the truce], with dreams in one hand and hopes in the other, ready to explore and breathe again, "J'abandonne ma douleur, quand j'explore j'respire" [I abandon my pain, when I explore I breathe]. It's a beautiful anthem for anyone ready to let go and just live.
