Chroma No. 2: Capturé

Sebastien Corn's song "Chroma No. 2: Capturé" delves into the profound and transformative power of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels empty and lost, searching desperately for something to fill the void. This sense of emptiness is captured in the lines "Vide de toi, vide de tout" (Empty of you, empty of everything) and "Le cœur en exil" (The heart in exile). The protagonist's heart is metaphorically in exile, chained to desires and imprisoned by a longing for freedom, which paradoxically comes through love.

The chorus, with its repetitive and hypnotic "Oooh oooh," emphasizes the overwhelming and almost magical effect that the beloved has on the protagonist. The lines "Mon cœur chavire" (My heart capsizes) and "Tu parles et je revis" (You speak and I come alive) suggest that the beloved's presence and words have the power to revive and captivate the protagonist completely. This love is described as unconditional and endless, a force that defies reason and logic, as seen in the lines "Amour sans fin, sans condition" (Love without end, without condition) and "Amour sans faille, à perdre la raison" (Love without flaw, to lose reason).

The recurring theme of being captured by love is central to the song. The protagonist repeatedly sings, "Tu m'as capturé par ton amour" (You captured me with your love), highlighting the inescapable and enchanting nature of this emotion. The use of words like "capturé" (captured), "emporté" (carried away), and "enchanté" (enchanted) further underscores the idea that love has a powerful, almost magical hold on the protagonist. This song beautifully captures the essence of being completely and utterly captivated by love, where the beloved becomes the sole focus and source of joy and revival.
