Lentement

In 'Lentement,' Alexandre Kinn invites listeners to slow down and savor the simple moments of life. The song's title, which translates to 'Slowly,' sets the tone for a reflective and introspective journey. Kinn's lyrics emphasize the importance of pausing and feeling detached from the chaos of everyday life. The act of smoking and forgetting the turmoil symbolizes a temporary escape, a moment to breathe and reset. The line 'Aimer sans savoir où l'on va' (Loving without knowing where we are going) suggests a carefree approach to love and life, embracing uncertainty and living in the present.

The recurring theme of not knowing what lies ahead ('Nous ne serons jamais vraiment ce qui nous attend là-bas') underscores the unpredictability of life. Kinn seems to advocate for a mindset that accepts this uncertainty, finding peace in the present moment rather than worrying about the future. The chorus, 'Lentement j'adore, lentement la vie / N'a de sens que quand on peut la voir passer' (Slowly I adore, slowly life / Only makes sense when we can see it pass), reinforces the idea that life's true meaning is found in these slow, mindful moments.

Kinn's poetic imagery, such as 'Chiner son âme là où elle est' (Bargaining for one's soul where it is) and 'Mimer l'univers sans bouger' (Mimicking the universe without moving), adds depth to the song. These lines suggest a search for inner peace and understanding without the need for constant action or change. The song's gentle, contemplative tone encourages listeners to appreciate the beauty of life's fleeting moments and to find joy in simply being present. Through 'Lentement,' Kinn offers a soothing reminder to slow down and cherish the journey, rather than rushing towards an uncertain destination.
