The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Certitude... Solitude..." by the artist "Trust"

Contents

In the song "Certitude... Solitude...", Trust explores the themes of loneliness, fame, and self-discovery.

The lyrical protagonist compares himself to an unnamed "you," possibly a reflection of himself or a collective image of a public figure. He contrasts his uncertainty and search for self with the confidence and possibly feigned persona of "you." The protagonist reflects on how he would handle fame and recognition if they came his way: "What if tomorrow I became a hero... a superstar..." He understands that these achievements are ephemeral and cannot fill the void within.

The recurring lines "For you/I surely know what loneliness is" emphasize the central theme of the song. The "yellowed image" that haunts the characters symbolizes past mistakes, unfulfilled hopes, and the burden of public image. The lyrical hero acknowledges that he, like his idols, has experienced the bitterness of loneliness despite outward success.

The sarcastic lines about "the most beautiful women" and "drugs for melancholy" suggest that the hero tried to find solace in pleasures and superficial relationships but did not find true happiness. He felt like a "puppet," confused and lost in a world where he was perceived as an object rather than a person.

At the end of the song, the hero finds some comfort in the realization that even his idols, who "formed a symbol," faced the same existential problems. This realization, though bitter, gives him the strength to accept his loneliness and continue his search for his true self.

Je marchais, j'avançais, je traînais ma dégaine

J'avançais sans savoir, sans idée de pouvoir

Tu marchais, t'avançais, t'avançais en sachant que t'étais le pouvoir

Et si demain je devenais un héros mais sans fard

Et si demain je devenais superstar

Si demain tu devenais un héros mais sans fard tu deviendrais superstar

Je passerais en revue tous ces moments gâchés

J'y penserais sans honte sans vouloir essuyer

Tu passerais en revue tous ces moments gâchés sans vouloir essuyer

Car vous savez avec certitude сe qu'est la solitude

Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui vous poursuit

Et qui me laisse un peu perdu qu'êtes-vous devenu ?

Et si demain je devenais un symbole, pas sexuel

Et si demain je devenais Untel

Et si demain tu devenais un symbole, pas sexuel, tu deviendrais Untel

Sans rendre compte, sans trouver d'excuses

Sans gamberger, sans travelling, sans me pâmer

Pas de compte, pas d'excuse; ni gamberge, ni travelling, sans te pâmer

Je grandirais loin des nains qu'ils resteraient

Et si demain je devenais quelqu'un que j'étais

Et si demain je devenais quelqu'un que j'étais

Car vous savez avec certitude ce qu'est la solitude

Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui vous poursuit

Et qui me laisse un peu perdu qu'êtes-vous devenu ?

Je rirais de leur vie comme ils riraient de la mienne

Quand j'étais leur pantin Crésus du soir au matin

Quand je nageais dans la dope par ennui, par envie

Quand j'avais les plus belles, pas de place pour les laides

Je tournais dans le vide en tendant les bras

Eux étaient là, souriant, courbés devant moi

Car je sais avec certitude ce qu'est la solitude

Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui me poursuit

Et qui me laisse un peu perdu que suis-je devenu?

Comme toi j'avais des idoles

Qui faisaient figure de symbole

Et qui savaient avec certitude ce qu'est la solitude
