Je L'aime

Moi Dix Mois' song "Je L'aime" is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of eternal love, hope, and the duality of light and shadow. The lyrics, primarily in Japanese with a touch of French, weave a narrative of longing and devotion that transcends time and space. The recurring phrase "その手を引き寄せて永遠に眠る" ("I will pull your hand and sleep forever") suggests a desire for an everlasting connection, a love that persists as long as the world continues. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line "I need your love," underscoring the essential nature of this bond for the narrator's existence.

The song delves into the themes of light and shadow, portraying them as intertwined forces. The lyrics mention "光は影と共にいたくて生きる" ("Light wants to live with shadow"), indicating that both elements are necessary for a complete existence. This duality is a common motif in Moi Dix Mois' music, reflecting the gothic and dark aesthetic that the band is known for. The interplay between light and shadow can be seen as a metaphor for the complexities of love and life, where joy and sorrow coexist.

Hope is another significant theme in "Je L'aime." The narrator speaks of a "希望の声" ("voice of hope") that is released towards a future filled with light. This hope is not just for personal salvation but is shared with a beloved, as indicated by the lines "我らの光と共に" ("with our light") and "我らと" ("with us"). The song's conclusion, with its plea to "parlez-moi d'amour" ("speak to me of love") and "embrassez-moi" ("kiss me"), encapsulates the yearning for a love that is both eternal and transformative, capable of illuminating even the darkest corners of existence.
