“Les Choses Qu’on Fait” turns everyday heartbreak into a reflective diary. Vitaa describes a relationship that has drifted into a cycle of arguments, regrets, and unanswered questions. She looks back on schoolyard memories, lingering scents, and tiny scars to show how past moments embed themselves in the present. Each line paints the feeling of holding a piece of glass that time has polished: even if the edges feel smoother, the shard still belongs to something broken.
At its core the song asks: Why do we keep repeating the same mistakes? Vitaa sings about doubting, falling, learning, then falling again—illustrating how love and life often spin in loops. The refrain “C’est fou c’qu’on fait” (“It’s crazy what we do”) highlights the bewilderment of fighting without remembering the reason. Rather than offering neat solutions, the song accepts that some questions linger, some wounds stay visible, and some choices become part of who we are.
