Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Les toros s`ennuient le dimanche
Quand il s`agit de courir pour nous
Un peu de sable du soleil et des planches
Un peu de sang pour faire un peu de boue
C`est l`heure où les épiciers se prennent pour Don Juan
C`est l`heure où les Anglaises se prennent pour Montherlant
Ah!
Qui nous dira à quoi ça pense
Un toro qui tourne et danse
Et s`aperçoit soudain qu`il est tout nu
Ah!
Qui nous dira à quoi ça rêve
Un toro dont l`œil se lève
Et qui découvre les cornes des cocus
Les toros s`ennuient le dimanche
Quand il s`agit de souffrir pour nous
Voici les picadors et la foule se venge
Voici les toreros et la foule est à genoux
C`est l`heure où les épiciers se prennent pour Garcia Lorca
C`est l`heure où les Anglaises se prennent pour la Carmencita
Les toros s`ennuient le dimanche
Quand il s`agit de mourir pour nous
Mais l`épée va plonger et la foule se penche
Mais l`épée a plongé et la foule est debout
C`est l`instant de triomphe où les épiciers se prennent pour Néron
C`est l`instant de triomphe où les Anglaises se prennent pour Wellington
Ah!
Est-ce qu`en tombant à terre
Les toros rêvent d`un enfer
Où brûleraient hommes et toreros défunts
Ah!
Ou bien à l`heure du trépas
Ne nous pardonneraient-ils pas
En pensant à Carthage Waterloo et Verdun
Verdun
