The lyrics of Julien Doré's song "L'île Au Lendemain" can be translated to English as follows: Lyrics: What remains? Two or three things For you to dream For you to dream What remains is me It's not much For you to hope For you to hope All this is useless We sank the island the next day All this is useless All this is useless We sank the island the next day All this is useless Two or three times I struck a pose To displease myself To displease myself In the mirrors Of those who talk Instead of taking action Instead of taking action All this is useless We sank the island the next day All this is useless All this is useless We sank the island the next day All this is useless Since it's good To displease oneself Look into the distance Look into the distance Towards the horizon Resting on hell Until tomorrow Until tomorrow All this is useless We sank the island the next day All this is useless All this is useless, all this is useless We sank the island the next day All this is useless, all this is useless The song conveys a sense of disillusionment and questioning the purpose or meaning of certain actions and decisions. It suggests that there may be limited value in dreaming, hoping, or seeking validation through external approval. The reference to sinking an island can be interpreted metaphorically, representing the destruction or loss of something significant. The lyrics also touch on the idea of self-displeasure and the futility of seeking validation from others. Ultimately, the song encourages the listener to look beyond the surface and find meaning in their own individual journey, rather than relying on others' opinions.
