This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
J'ai besoin d'oublier
Tout ce qui me rappelle
Qu'un jour elle a été
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
On se rend malheureux
A prendre une étincelle
Pour le plus beau des feux
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je préfère son absence
A sa beauté cruelle
Accordez moi silence
Loin de son existence
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle ouvre grand ses ailes
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je voudrais m'endormir
Comme une sentinelle
Qui ne voit rien venir
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je préfère l'ignorance
Aux mauvaises nouvelles
Accordez moi silence
Loin de son existence
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle ouvre grand ses ailes
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle me reprend
Elle me reprend le ciel
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Non ne m'en parlez pas
Mais parlez lui de moi
Accordez moi silence
Loin de son existence
Donnez moi une chance
D'oublier que j'y pense
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle ouvre grand ses ailes
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle me reprend
Elle me reprend le ciel
J'ai besoin d'oublier
Tout ce qui me rappelle
Qu'un jour elle a été
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
On se rend malheureux
A prendre une étincelle
Pour le plus beau des feux
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je préfère son absence
A sa beauté cruelle
Accordez moi silence
Loin de son existence
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle ouvre grand ses ailes
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je voudrais m'endormir
Comme une sentinelle
Qui ne voit rien venir
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je préfère l'ignorance
Aux mauvaises nouvelles
Accordez moi silence
Loin de son existence
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle ouvre grand ses ailes
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle me reprend
Elle me reprend le ciel
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Non ne m'en parlez pas
Mais parlez lui de moi
Accordez moi silence
Loin de son existence
Donnez moi une chance
D'oublier que j'y pense
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle ouvre grand ses ailes
Ne me parlez plus d'elle
Je ne veux pas savoir
Près de qui chaque soir
Elle me reprend
Elle me reprend le ciel
