The song "L'heure Avait Sonné" by Joyce Jonathan tells a story about love and heartbreak. The lyrics talk about the foolishness in love and how it can make someone blind to the reality of a relationship. The opening lines, "C'est fou ce qu'on peut être con, L'amour rend parfois trop bon" translate to "It's crazy how stupid we can be, Love sometimes makes us too good." This suggests that love can make people overlook negative aspects or give too much of themselves. The chorus, "J'ai laissé sonner une heure, Pensant que mon heure avait sonné, J'ai lesé tous les bonheurs, Pendant ce temps-là tu m'oubliais" means "I let an hour ring, Thinking my time had come, I missed all the happiness, Meanwhile, you forgot about me." This portrays the feeling of waiting and wasting time for someone who doesn't reciprocate the same feelings. The lyrics continue to express the narrator's disappointment and realization that the person they loved has moved on. The line "A ta porte, je me revois, Les fleurs à la main, je l'aperçois, Une autre que moi" translates to "At your door, I see myself again, Flowers in hand, I see another person than me." This highlights the pain of witnessing the person they love with someone else. Overall, "L'heure Avait Sonné" delves into the emotions of love, vulnerability, and the consequences of giving too much of oneself in a relationship. It explores the bitter realization of being left behind and the consequences of one's own naivety in love.
