Let go

Let's make this hour a joyful one

Let go

Gently take off this swimsuit for me

Let go

When joy comes to us from the core

Of the present moment

Let go

On the lookout for the slightest shiver

Let go

In the embers of our prisons

Let go

I love you in perfect relaxation

Our lives are like the wind, but we are alive

We are alive, but our lives are like the wind

Our lives are like the wind, but we are alive

We are alive, but our lives are like the wind

Like the wind

Let go

When life throws us from the plane

Let go

Slow eyes under the gate

Let go

If we love in Lorient like fools

Let go

I would fall from the top of the cliffs

Let go

Let's bring out the tears we hide

Let go

Heart swollen like a tank pillages its ink

Our lives are like the wind, but we are alive

We are alive, but our lives are like the wind

Our lives are like the wind, but we are alive

We are alive, but our lives are like the wind

Like the wind

Our lives are like the wind, but we are alive

We are, we are, we are alive

We are alive, but our lives are like the wind

Our lives, our lives, our lives are like the wind

Our lives are like the wind, but we are alive

We are, we are, we are alive

We are alive, but our lives are like the wind

Like the wind

Am I doing this right?

Am I doing this wrong?

Hitting myself with bonds

In front of the crystal sea

I would like to relax

Reconnect with childhood

But I am on the ropes

Boxed by romance

I would like an awning

A potion to swallow

A handkerchief of formaldehyde

A love on a pedestal

We are so tense

That we forget to live

The big cities turn us

Into little drunken boats

piédestal — pedestal

Piédestal translates to "pedestal". It's an evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of honor, admiration, and placing someone or something on a high platform.

In the song, the line "Un amour au piédestal" (A love on a pedestal) suggests a desire for an idealized, revered love, perhaps one that is perfect and untouchable. This word stands out as it speaks to a deeper emotional longing beyond everyday expressions of affection.

Terrenoire's "Lâchons Prise" is all about letting go and embracing the present moment, even when life feels chaotic. The title itself, "Lâchons prise" [Let go], is a repeated call to shed inhibitions and find joy in simple things, like taking off a jersey or feeling a shiver. It's a reminder that our lives are fleeting, like wind – "Nos vies sont du vent" [Our lives are wind] – but we are undeniably alive, "mais nous sommes vivants" [but we are alive].

The song encourages us to release our worries, whether it's about falling from a cliff or crying the tears we've hidden away. There's a beautiful honesty in lines like "Moi, je t'aime en parfaite décontraction" [Me, I love you in perfect relaxation], suggesting that true connection comes from being at ease. The lyrics also touch on the struggles of modern life, asking "Est-ce que je m'y prends bien? Est-ce que je m'y prends mal?" [Am I doing it well? Am I doing it badly?], and admitting to feeling "Boxé par la romance" [Boxed by romance]. Ultimately, it's a plea to relax and reconnect with a childlike sense of wonder, because "On est tellement tendu Qu'on en oublie de vivre" [We are so tense that we forget to live].
