"Entre Gris Clair Et Gris Foncé" is a song by French singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. The title translates to "Between Light Gray and Dark Gray". The lyrics touch upon various themes and concepts, showcasing the contrast and fading of emotions and beliefs in society. The song talks about how the messages from the heavens have become faded and the evidences have lost their brightness in the sun. The once vibrant red of hell has become faded, and even the purity and clarity of Eden has diminished. Goldman also mentions stained white flags and the burning of the persistent green of hope. The serenity of those who have faith has been tarnished, and the soul's rest that used to give faith is also lost. He talks about the organized and predetermined paths, the idols and leaders being abandoned, and slogans being shouted without any hesitation or doubt. The most beautiful stories are televised, and the good is tarnished while the villains become more complex. The song also discusses the loss and fading of the wise years and how love stories are scripted with promises that may not hold true. The road between sacred polls and ratings is filled with obstacles. Even friendship from novels and blood brotherhoods are now subject to psychiatry. "Entre Gris Clair Et Gris Foncé" portrays a world where emotions and beliefs have lost their intensity and significance. It reflects a society where faith, trust, and sincerity are fading away, and everything is becoming blurred in shades of gray. Overall, the song suggests a disillusionment with a society that has lost its vibrancy and authenticity, and how people are trapped in shades of gray between light and dark, unable to find true meaning or clarity.
