ピアフ (Piaf) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer feels like they are just missing the mark between hope and despair. Life feels ordinary and given for free, almost without choice. They hear a warning that nothing free comes without risk, showing a sense of caution and uncertainty about everyday life.

[Chorus]
Every time they smile out of politeness, they feel a bit farther from their true self, and it makes them emotional. Still, they appreciate that they can show kindness, even if it’s small, and want to acknowledge that small strength within themselves.

[Verse 2]
Their body isn’t just moving by biology or routine, but by the weight of words they never said to someone important. That unspoken conversation still burns inside, acting like a hidden fire that drives them forward even now.

[Verse 3]
The singer knows both the depth of sadness and how fragile joy can be. Even so, they want to keep living, drifting through life like a wandering song. Meeting that special person makes the wait for tomorrow worthwhile, and that connection is enough for now to find comfort and motivation.

[Bridge]
What really drives their world isn’t ordinary things like unfinished shows or rules. It’s the small, almost fading voices of promises shared with someone special that light their way and give purpose.

[Chorus]
Hatred can feel strong, and kindness can feel delicate, and some days everything seems like it might vanish. The singer feels close to breaking but still wants to hold on. They wonder about love and hope, questioning if giving up is allowed in a harsh world. Despite all this, they wish for the happiness of the person they care about above anything else, because no wish feels greater than that.
