La Serre Lyrics in English Voyou

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Serre by Voyou from French to English.
In the greenhouse
Ivy and succulents
Stick to the plexiglass
To carve out some space
We pile up
In the artificial jungle
Nothing, not even the sun
Gets in or comes through
We miss our forests
Our dawns and our plants
Our hellish scenery
Our arrogant fauna
In the greenhouse
We bury ourselves
We fade away
We squeeze together
We get grimy
Under this glass prison
With one move everything tips
On top of each other we despise each other
We shove each other
Crowded, tensions flare up
We burn out
The greenhouse is sealed, nothing changes that
With one move everything tips
On top of each other we despise each other
We shove each other
Crowded, tensions flare up
We burn out
The greenhouse will be our tomb
We've spent hours
We've spent days
Waiting in a vacuum
In this arid climate
Under the electric mist
We still dread each other
We can't stand each other anymore
But our spirits are outside
The walls shake and bend
Creak and buckle
Enough to shake with fear
Even the strongest
And we make our fears tremble
For hours and days
And that shakes the walls
Hope they crack
And we slam and we hurl ourselves, harder and harder
Enough to shake with fear
Till death, that's it, the greenhouse blows up
Bursts in the air
Into a thousand shards of glass
With one move everything tips
On top of each other we despise each other
We shove each other
Crowded, tensions flare up
We burn out
The greenhouse is sealed, nothing changes that
With one move everything tips
On top of each other we despise each other
We shove each other
Crowded, tensions flare up
We burn out
The greenhouse will be our tomb
The greenhouse will be our tomb
And everything shifts
We shove each other
The greenhouse will be our tomb
We burn out
We shove each other
The greenhouse will be our tomb

SONG MEANING

Imagine a greenhouse so packed with vines, succulents, and people that the glass walls start to shake. In “La Serre,” French artist Voyou turns this steamy hothouse into a metaphor for modern life: we crowd together in an artificial jungle, fighting for space and sunlight that never truly breaks through. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of ivy clinging to plexiglass, bodies jostling, and tempers flaring as tension builds under the transparent ceiling. What begins as quiet claustrophobia quickly becomes a chaotic struggle where “one small gesture can make everything tip over,” showing how fragile our carefully controlled environments really are.

Yet the song is not just about confinement. Its climax – the greenhouse shattering into “a thousand shards of glass” – celebrates the explosive release that comes when we refuse to stay boxed in. “La Serre” urges us to recognize the toxic pressure of overcrowded spaces, whether physical or emotional, and to seek freedom before the walls crack on their own. It’s a cinematic reminder that if we let frustration grow unchecked, the very shelter we built can turn into our tomb – but breaking free can also scatter light everywhere.
