I've taken French lessons for about 5 years now, so I understand some of the content (at least the "shallow" parts; I may not get the deeper meaning with this song, if you understand what I'm trying to say), though I agree with you - the passion lies in the music.
I have to thank my French teacher for introducing me to Noir Désir with this song after we'd read a text titled "Une tragédie moderne" about what happened with Bertrand and Marie.
