Attendez-moi Lyrics in English by Mentissa

S'empresser means to hurry or to rush. It's a reflexive verb, which adds a nuance of urgency and self-driven haste.

In "Attendez-moi," Mentissa uses this word to describe the fast-paced world around her: "Ils s'empressent devant" (They hurry ahead). It perfectly captures the feeling of being left behind while everyone else rushes forward, making it a central theme of the song.

Have you ever felt like the world is moving too fast and you just can't keep up? In her song "Attendez-moi," which means "Wait for Me," Belgian singer Mentissa captures this exact feeling. She looks around and sees an "impatient planet" where everyone is rushing forward, thinking and dancing recklessly. She feels overwhelmed, asking everyone to slow down because "everything is going too fast."

This pressure creates a sense of confusion and anxiety, as if she's on the edge of a steep slope. She describes the world as "crazy," "blurry," and "hurt," moving faster than her own thoughts. But instead of giving in, she finds her own path. She decides to reject the rush, telling everyone else to go on ahead. She declares, "I'll join you but I choose when," choosing to live in and enjoy the present moment. It's a powerful anthem about taking control of your own time and finding peace in a chaotic world.
