LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: tag]
In this short intro, the artist is expressing his reluctance or discomfort about doing something. He seems to be hesitant, maybe about the situation or decision he’s facing. The line “I don’t like to do that!” indicates he is not fully on board with what’s being asked of him.

[Refrain]
In the refrain, the artist reflects on a complicated relationship where he feels distracted by someone he’s attracted to. He finds himself thinking about the person, especially when he’s alone or when it’s cold. He’s unsure whether they should take things further or not, as he’s torn between wanting more and fearing attachment. The line “t’as l’choix, on l’fait ou pas ?” means he’s giving the other person a choice, asking if they want to take the relationship to the next level or keep things casual. He admits that the person is too good for just a one-night thing, showing his honesty and vulnerability. He imagines a perfect relationship where they’re unstoppable together, but at the same time, he’s not sure if he wants to go that far. The line “un jour des fleurs, un jour des pleurs” highlights the ups and downs of relationships, suggesting that love can be both sweet and painful. Overall, it’s about the confusion and mixed feelings he’s experiencing, trying to decide whether to take the plunge or pull away.

[Pont]
In the bridge, the phrase “t’as l’choix, on l’fait ou pas ?” (you have the choice, should we do this or not?) is repeated, emphasizing the indecision in the relationship. It’s a simple yet powerful way of highlighting the back-and-forth nature of the situation, where both parties are uncertain about what to do next.

[Couplet 1]
In the first verse, the artist dives into more intense imagery. He mentions a kiss and a bite, symbolizing a passionate and sometimes painful relationship. The reference to “une drogue dure” (a hard drug) suggests that this attraction is addictive and powerful, but also potentially destructive. He acknowledges his own flaws, calling himself “une ordure” (a scumbag), and the relationship seems to involve a lot of emotional turmoil (“on s’torture”). The heat he mentions could symbolize intense emotions or physical desire, but he’s cold outside, creating a contrast between internal warmth and external chill. Finally, he mentions reserving a hotel room, indicating a desire to take the relationship somewhere private and possibly more intimate.

[Refrain]
In the second refrain, the artist once again struggles with the idea of whether to move forward with the relationship or not. He’s distracted by the person, and while he wants to get closer, he also fears becoming too attached. He emphasizes that they’re too good for just a casual encounter, which makes him hesitant about getting too involved. The imagery of being “unstoppable” together continues, showing his desire for a deep connection, but he’s also cautious. He refers to a future that could include both happy moments (flowers) and sadness (tears), acknowledging the emotional rollercoaster that relationships often bring. He remains conflicted, asking repeatedly if they should take the next step or keep things uncertain, trying to navigate his feelings without getting hurt.
