The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Monochrome" by the artist "Yann Tiersen"

Contents

English:

In "Monochrome," Yann Tiersen paints a portrait of a person drowning in apathy and despair after a loss, possibly a break-up. The protagonist's world is painted in shades of grey, devoid of vibrant colors and emotions.

He's stuck in a rut that leads nowhere, feeling lost and empty. Work, friends, even books - everything seems meaningless and fails to bring joy. He tries to convince himself, and perhaps someone else, that he's okay, clinging to routines and social interactions.

The recurring phrases "I'm so tired now" and "But don't worry" highlight the protagonist's emotional exhaustion and his attempts to mask his true state. The imagery of "monochrome floors," "monochrome walls," and "white confusion" symbolize the emptiness and lack of meaning in his life.

Despite the protagonist's efforts to stay afloat, the song is imbued with deep sadness and hopelessness. He's trapped in a cage of his own despair, unable to break free from the vicious cycle of apathy.

Anyway, I can try anything

It's the same circle that leads to nowhere

And I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,

My dignity, my look,

Everything is gone

And I'm tired now.

But don't be scared, I'm found a good job

And I go to work every day

On my old bicycle you loved.

I am piling up some unread books under my bed

And I really think

I'll never read again.

No concentration, just a white disorder

Everywhere around me, you know

I'm so tired now.

Don't worry I often go to dinners and parties

With some old friends

Who care for me,

Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event or something

To remind me,

But I've really got nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows and listen to people

Walking in the down streets.

There is a life out there.

But don't be scared, I found a good job

And I go to work every day

On my old bicycle you loved.

Anyway, I can try anything

It's the same circle that leads to nowhere

And I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,

My dignity, my look,

Everything is gone gone

And I'm tired now.

Don't worry I often go to dinners and parties

With some old friends

Who care for me,

Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me
