Des Heures

In 'Des Heures,' Nemir delves into the intricacies and challenges of a romantic relationship. The song opens with a depiction of a common scenario in many relationships: prolonged arguments and silent treatments. The repetition of 'des heures' (hours) emphasizes the seemingly endless nature of these conflicts. Nemir's frustration is palpable as he describes the cyclical pattern of giving each other the cold shoulder, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on both parties.

The chorus introduces a pivotal theme: the need to 's'aimer autrement' (love each other differently). Nemir acknowledges that their current way of handling disagreements is unsustainable. The phrase 'c'est donnant-donnant' (it's give-and-take) underscores the necessity of mutual effort and compromise in maintaining a healthy relationship. This sentiment is further reinforced by the line 'fout tes doutes à la poubelle' (throw your doubts in the trash), suggesting that overcoming insecurities and doubts is crucial for their love to thrive.

As the song progresses, Nemir reflects on how their relationship has become more complicated over time. He expresses a desire to communicate and resolve issues, but finds it challenging to find the right moment. The metaphor of wanting to 'exiler avec elle' (exile with her) and become her 'médicament' (medicine) illustrates his longing to be her source of comfort and healing. Despite the difficulties, Nemir remains hopeful, reiterating the importance of learning to love each other in a new, more constructive way. The song's repetitive structure and emotive delivery capture the essence of a relationship in turmoil, yet striving for a better future.
