Dis Moi Lyrics in English OrelSan

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dis Moi by OrelSan from French to English.
Let me explain everything
The problem's boredom
Because, when I'm alone
I can spiral real quick
I do nothing all day
I slip into depression
And I don't even know why
I do stupid sh*t, I should see a shrink
Let me explain everything
The problem's alcohol
It starts with one drink
And my principles fly off
Let me explain everything
The problem's other people
When I try to go home
They push me to screw up
For real, for real
For real, for real
For real, for real
For real, for real
Please, tell me, yet I love that girl
Why do I do everything to make her suffer?
Please, tell me, yet I love that girl
Why do I do everything to make her suffer?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Say
Let me explain everything
The problem's stress
When problems show up
I freeze and let the rest slide
I can't think anymore
So I gotta decompress
But I go way too far, I don't control anything anymore
There's no kindness left
Let me explain everything
The problem's fear
When I sink into the night
I look for light elsewhere
Let me explain everything
The problem's ego
It pushes me to seduce
To own stuff
For real, for real
For real, for real
For real, for real
For real, for real
Please, tell me, yet I love that girl
Why do I do everything to make her suffer?
Please, tell me, yet I love that girl
Why do I do everything to make her suffer?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me

SONG MEANING

OrelSan’s “Dis-Moi” feels like a late-night voice message you were never meant to hear. Over a moody beat, the French rapper keeps repeating “Laisse-moi tout t’expliquer” while listing a carousel of supposed culprits: boredom, alcohol, stress, fear, ego and the influence of others. Each excuse is a layer of self-analysis that reveals more vulnerability than swagger, showing a man who spirals when he’s alone and loses control when the pressure mounts.

The hook flips the spotlight onto love. OrelSan genuinely cares for “this girl” yet can’t stop hurting her, so he pleads, “S’il te plaît, dis-moi”—asking someone, anyone, to explain his self-destructive loop. The song is a raw confession about owning up to toxic habits, where the real enemy might not be boredom or booze but the fear of facing oneself.
