À Perte De Vue Lyrics in English Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song À Perte De Vue by Pomme from French to English.
There are hearts at the bottom of the ocean
There is the mistake we've been making for a long time
To believe that whales don't cry
How to talk about this
Without breaking my voice
How to tell you things
The harm we cause
If I knew how
To save the giants
From our hands that kill them
As far as the eye can see
There are these bodies like big white flags
All their efforts to touch the spring
To find the light that we don't see
How to talk about this
Without breaking my voice
How to tell you things
The harm we cause
If I knew how
To save the giants
From our hands that kill them
As far as the eye can see
There is the fate we defy with laughter
Yes, it's agreed to always pretend
To believe that whales don't cry
When before their eyes the belugas go out

SONG MEANING

Picture an endless blue horizon where whales glide like silent giants and human hands stir unseen ripples of danger. In "À Perte De Vue," Pomme turns the ocean into a mirror, reflecting our habit of looking away while magnificent creatures suffer. She sings of hearts sinking to the seabed, of whales that do cry, and of our stubborn belief that their tears do not exist. The song is a gentle yet urgent wake-up call: if we keep pretending, these gentle titans may vanish beyond sight.

With poetic imagery and a fragile voice, Pomme invites us to feel both the wonder and the weight of our choices. The repeated question “Comment parler de ça?” (How can I talk about this?) exposes her struggle to describe the harm we cause while still holding on to hope. Ultimately, the track is a plea for empathy and action, reminding us that saving the giants of the sea also saves a part of ourselves.
