Si Je M'endors Mon Amour

Boulevard des Airs' song 'Si Je M'endors Mon Amour' is a poignant exploration of the dangers of falling into a monotonous and unfulfilling routine. The lyrics, a mix of French and Spanish, convey a sense of urgency and a plea for awakening from a metaphorical slumber. The repeated refrain 'Si me duermo despiértame' (If I fall asleep, wake me up) underscores the fear of becoming complacent and losing touch with the vibrancy of life.

The verses paint a picture of urban life where the protagonist feels disconnected from their surroundings. They describe being in the city but no longer noticing the streets or the people, akin to an old inhabitant who has grown too accustomed to their environment. This imagery suggests a loss of curiosity and engagement, a state of being where one is present physically but absent mentally and emotionally. The plea to be awakened if they 'adore being here' or 'sleep too often' highlights a desire to break free from this numbing routine.

The song also touches on the theme of love and communication. The line 'Etre à la ville comme un vieux déjà sourd, A qui on parle d'amour' (Being in the city like an old deaf person, to whom one speaks of love) suggests a sense of isolation and the difficulty of connecting with others. The protagonist fears becoming someone who is no longer receptive to love and the beauty of life. The repeated instruction to 'go far away and never return' if they fall into this state indicates a deep fear of losing oneself to the mundane and the importance of staying awake and aware in both life and love.
