The song "Nous (Acoustique)" by Julien Doré is about escapism and the desire to break free from societal expectations and constraints. The lyrics talk about going to see the sea, to see if people are proud and to imagine floating in the water, even though they haven't been able to do anything meaningful. The protagonist feels like they have nothing left to lose and mentions having a bit of belly and ego, and having some conversations to untangle. The chorus repeats the phrase "Nous, nous, nous" which translates to "Us, us, us" in English. This repetition emphasizes the sense of independence and indifference towards others' opinions. The protagonist doesn't care about others and says they can take everything as long as they remain tender. The second verse continues with the theme of seeking the sea and observing if the moon illuminates some heads above the water. The lyrics suggest that in a world where everything is lost, tomorrow is just yesterday, and they feel a bit left behind and hurt by the stones they didn't want to lose. Overall, the song expresses a longing for freedom and a rejection of societal pressures. It encourages embracing one's own desires and being indifferent to the judgments of others. The repeated phrase emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and remaining tender-hearted despite the challenges faced.
