rdv

Pomme's song 'rdv' is a poignant exploration of longing and the deep sense of loss that accompanies the absence of a loved one. The lyrics are imbued with a raw emotionality, capturing the essence of missing someone so profoundly that it affects every aspect of life. The repeated refrain 'Oui tu manques à ma vie' (Yes, you are missing from my life) underscores the pervasive emptiness the singer feels. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines 'je n'ai personne à aimer' (I have no one to love) and 'je n'ai personne à consoler' (I have no one to console), painting a vivid picture of solitude and yearning.

The song also delves into the idea of escapism as a coping mechanism. Pomme sings about giving a 'rendez-vous' (rendezvous) in a place where they can be free from judgment, a sanctuary where they can be themselves without societal constraints. This notion is encapsulated in the lines 'Où personne ne dit de nous / Qu'on est pas comme il faut' (Where no one says of us / That we are not as we should be). This secret meeting place symbolizes a refuge from the harsh realities of life, a space where love can exist untainted by external pressures.

Dreams and memories play a crucial role in the narrative of 'rdv'. The singer finds solace in the night, where dreams offer a temporary escape and a chance to reunite with the lost love. 'Dans mes rêves à l'abri, je peux te retrouver' (In my sheltered dreams, I can find you again) highlights the bittersweet comfort that dreams provide. These nocturnal reunions serve as a stark contrast to the loneliness of waking life, emphasizing the depth of the singer's longing and the enduring impact of the lost relationship.
