Dans quelques mois (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s nervously reaching out even though his partner is right there because he feels overwhelmed thinking about the baby coming soon. He admits he’s starting to panic and wants to share his feelings to feel less alone. Talking about it seems like the easiest way to process everything swirling in his head. He’s trying to be honest about his fear and anxiety before the birth, opening up in a very raw and human way.

[Chorus 1]
He keeps repeating that the baby will arrive soon, and he feels completely unprepared. He worries he won’t know how to care for the child and is already imagining all the mistakes he might make. The repetition shows his panic and obsession with the idea that he’ll fail, reflecting the pressure and fear of becoming a parent. He’s aware that the arrival is inevitable, but his confidence in handling it is almost zero.

[Verse 1]
He compares the struggles of an artist to the struggles of a parent, realizing that while suffering can create beauty in art, it can damage a child in life. He doubts his ability to care for the baby properly, fearing he might even dislike or neglect him. The thought of failing terrifies him, and he imagines worst-case scenarios, like leaving the child alone or traumatizing him. He worries about passing on bad traits from both parents and wonders if managing another life is even possible. Burnout and anxiety make him feel incapable, and he’s haunted by the fear that their child might inherit the worst from both sides.

[Pre-chorus 1]
He imagines the child inheriting only the negative traits from both parents, like his own ego and his partner’s temper, and worries the child will pick up family flaws. He feels completely unprepared for practical life responsibilities, questioning why anyone would trust him with a life. He’s caught in the fear of overprotecting the child, which could make him fragile, or underprotecting him, which could make him too harsh. This shows his deep anxiety and sense of helplessness.

[Chorus 2]
He repeats his fear that the baby is coming soon and that he will never be ready. He feels clueless about how to raise him and keeps thinking about the mistakes he might make. The repetition emphasizes his terror and growing anxiety, showing that he’s genuinely scared about the responsibility and doesn’t feel equipped to handle fatherhood yet.

[Verse 2]
He compares writing drafts to parenting, realizing that both take trial and error. He fears sleepless nights and the exhaustion that could strain their relationship. He’s worried about the first year, thinking it might even increase the risk of divorce. School, social struggles, and childhood loneliness weigh on his mind, and he fears the child might face similar pain he experienced. He also dreads the challenges of adolescence and the mistakes he might have to witness or relive. The verse shows his overwhelming sense of responsibility and fear of repeating past regrets.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He’s scared of being absent or emotionally unavailable, and he fears repeating his parents’ mistakes. He worries about breaking down or reverting to his old self, missing out on life with friends and hobbies he’s given up. He questions whether they’ve made a mistake and what would happen if they fail. This shows his vulnerability and the pressure he feels as he anticipates fatherhood, highlighting his inner conflict and self-doubt.

[Chorus 2]
Again, he repeats that the baby is coming soon and he won’t feel ready. He feels unsure how to care for the child and obsesses over the possible mistakes he might make. His fear of failing as a parent is constant and dominates his thoughts, showing that fatherhood feels overwhelming and terrifying at this stage.

[Outro]
He keeps repeating that the baby is arriving soon, emphasizing the looming reality and his growing anxiety. The repetition mirrors his obsessive thoughts and nervous anticipation as the arrival draws near.
