Memories Lyrics Meaning Eva | Page blanche
Eva describes blocking an ex online, cursing apps like Snapchat that replay old moments. She mentions the ‘Ferrari’ car logo, placing her feelings in the passenger seat. One line stands out: ‘Seeing you in pain is satisfying, honestly.’
Je t’ai bloqué sur les réseauxI’ve blocked you on social media,
C’est mes copines qui avaient raisonit turns out my friends were right all along.
Je maudis Snap’ et les memories, hein-heinI curse Snapchat and those digital ‘memories’,
Les revoir m’terrorise, heinseeing them again just terrifies me.
Je t’ai bloqué sur les réseauxI’ve blocked you on social media,
C’est mes copines qui avaient raisonit turns out my friends were right all along.
J’ai fait des erreurs, j’mémorise, hein-heinI’ve made mistakes that I keep remembering,
Dans le noir j’improvise, yeahnow I’m just improvising in the dark, yeah.
PardonnerForgiving you?
V’là la mission, c’est mortThat’s an impossible mission, it’s over.
Même si ça m’fait d’l’effetEven though it still affects me,
De te voir dans l’mal, c’est vraiseeing you in pain is satisfying, honestly.
J’ai démarré la caisseI’ve started up the car,
Celle avec le cheval cabréthe one with the ‘Ferrari’ prancing horse logo.
Sentiments côté passagerMy feelings were just in the passenger seat,
T’étais que d’passagebecause you were only passing through my life.
Je t’ai bloqué sur les réseauxI’ve blocked you on social media,
C’est mes copines qui avaient raisonit turns out my friends were right all along.
Je maudis Snap’ et les memories, hein-heinI curse Snapchat and those digital ‘memories’,
Les revoir m’terrorise, heinseeing them again just terrifies me.

Dans le noir j’improvise, yeahnow I’m just improvising in the dark, yeah.
J’veux savoir si, avec elle, c’est la même (C’est la même)I want to know if it’s the same with her,
Mais ça, je te l’dirais jamais (Nan, nan)but I’ll never admit that to you.
En amour, tu manques d’honnêtetéWhen it comes to love, you lack honesty,
Et moi, j’suis trop entêtéeand I’m far too stubborn.
J’me dis qu’on fait pas ça quand on aime (Quand on aime)I tell myself that people don’t act like this when they truly love someone.
T’auras beau écrire tous les poèmes (Nan, nan)No matter how many poems you try to write,
Un coup d’f#ck et c’est pas la peineone ‘mess up’ and it’s just not worth it anymore.
Tu connais rien de toute ma haineYou have no idea how much resentment I’m holding.
PardonnerForgiving you?
V’là la mission, c’est mortThat’s an impossible mission, it’s over.
Même si ça m’fait d’l’effetEven though it still affects me,
