Picture love as a tightrope and "L'équilibre" is the soundtrack of two acrobats wobbling above the void. Kyo sweeps us from the electric rush of the very first night—all sweat, heat and whispered promises—to the thousandth night, where the same bodies lie back-to-back, gasping for air and space. A seductive outsider circles the couple, sowing doubt with dazzling smiles, until temptation snaps the rope. The song paints each stage with cinematic detail: secret showers to wash away guilt, racing heartbeats out of sync, and that chilling moment when the door slams and silence punches harder than words.
Yet the story is not a simple fall. "L'équilibre" reminds us that desire, regret and nostalgia spin in loops. While one partner rebuilds elsewhere, the narrator is stuck in a "bad romantic comedy," replaying shared songs and old movies until the twist ending—she appears at his door with two small suitcases. The balance between comfort and boredom, fidelity and adventure, collapse and renewal is fragile; lose focus for a second, and gravity does the rest. Kyo’s lyrics turn this universal tug-of-war into an intimate, bittersweet journey that makes listeners ask: How steady is my own tightrope?
