The song "La Diluvienne" by Joyce Jonathan tells the story of a love that is fading away. The lyrics depict a sense of resignation and sadness as the singer acknowledges that their love is becoming scarce. They express a desperate hope that one day, the person they love will start to hate them, as it would be a sign that they still have some sort of connection. The metaphor of rain is used throughout the song to symbolize the problems and issues in the relationship. The singer tries to escape these problems by running away from them in a torrential downpour. However, it becomes clear that the problems are too big and overwhelming to simply be ignored or avoided. The lyrics also touch on the idea of a future that doesn't turn out as expected. The singer had once believed that they would only love this person, but now they feel distant and disconnected. Despite this, they still hold on to the tender moments they shared in the past. Overall, "La Diluvienne" captures the emotions of a fading love, the struggles of trying to escape problems, and the longing for a connection that seems to be slipping away.
