The song "Larme Fatale" by Julien Doré and Eddy de Pretto is about the hardships and uncertainties of life. The lyrics express a sense of longing and the search for meaning in a world filled with mediocrity. The song begins by describing the desire for both arguments and kisses on the protagonist's lips. It suggests that it took a long time to find someone special, and the protagonist has put on gloves to protect themselves before reaching out to touch this person. In the midst of a world filled with mediocrity, they invite the person to come to their pillow if it starts to rain, implying a need for comfort and solace. The line "J'ai la larme fatale mais j'ai rien oublié, tu sais ?" translates to "I have the fatal tear, but I haven't forgotten anything, you know?" This line suggests that despite experiencing pain, the protagonist remembers everything, possibly referring to the lessons learned or the scars gained from past experiences. The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh, oh, elle est pas belle la vie" which translates to "Oh, oh, life isn't beautiful." This repetition emphasizes the melancholic tone of the song and the protagonist's view of life as not being ideal or satisfying. The lyrics continue by asking the person to take the protagonist's hand and tell them if they are supported, as if they are afraid of being influenced by others and swallowing their ideas. The protagonist expresses that life hurts them with its random actions, but dying is not a big deal because everyone does it. The repeating lines "Elle est pas belle la vie, elle est pas bella" mean "Life is not beautiful, it is not bella" (a reference to the Italian word for beautiful). This repetition further emphasizes the dissatisfaction and disillusionment felt by the protagonist. The lyrics suggest that if the hearts are dirty, they need to be cleaned, and the flame can be extinguished with saltwater. The protagonist states that they are great at night but ugly during the day. The song concludes by suggesting leaving before the sun sets, possibly indicating a desire to escape from the difficulties and disappointments of life. Overall, "Larme Fatale" reflects on the challenges and uncertainties of life and expresses a longing for something more meaningful and fulfilling.
