Comme d’habitude literally means “as usual,” and that simple phrase sets the mood for the whole song. M. Pokora paints the morning-to-night routine of a couple who keep acting like everything is fine even though the love has cooled. From pulling up the blanket so his partner does not get cold to sipping coffee alone in a silent kitchen, the narrator checks every box of a normal day, yet each action feels hollow.
The real heartbreak hides in the pretending: smiling at work, laughing with friends, sharing a bed at night, even making love… all comme d’habitude. Beneath the ritual there is a lonely man masking tears and a distant partner who also plays along. The song turns an everyday schedule into an emotional roller-coaster, reminding us how routine can be the perfect disguise for fading passion.
