Larmes de Crocodile

Rixe's song "Larmes de Crocodile" delves into the theme of manipulation and the superficiality of false emotions. The title itself, which translates to "Crocodile Tears," sets the tone for the song's exploration of insincere displays of emotion. In the opening lines, the lyrics highlight how easy it is to manipulate people, especially during tough times. The phrase "Les esprits faibles seront touchés" (The weak minds will be affected) underscores the vulnerability of those who are easily swayed by deceitful tactics. The call to maintain a "cœer de pierre" (heart of stone) suggests a need for emotional resilience in the face of such manipulation.

The recurring chorus, "Pour un oui, pour un non, Encore des larmes de crocodile" (For a yes, for a no, Again crocodile tears), emphasizes the trivial reasons for which these fake tears are shed. The repetition of this line drives home the point that these displays of emotion are not genuine and are often used to manipulate others. The phrase "Déversées sans raison" (Poured out without reason) further reinforces the idea that these tears are meaningless and serve no real purpose other than to deceive.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics take a more assertive stance against those who lament without cause. The lines "Assez, arrêtez, De vous lamenter" (Enough, stop, Stop lamenting) reflect a sense of frustration and a call to action. The singer declares their allegiance, stating "J'ai déjà choisi mon camp, Face à celui qui ment" (I have already chosen my side, Against the one who lies). This declaration signifies a rejection of falsehood and a commitment to standing against manipulation and deceit. Through its raw and direct lyrics, "Larmes de Crocodile" serves as a punk anthem that challenges listeners to see through the facade of crocodile tears and stand firm against manipulation.
