Naïve

Thérapie TAXI's song "Naïve" delves into the tumultuous emotions of love, loneliness, and the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their feelings, caught between the desire for connection and the fear of vulnerability. The opening lines, "Laisse-moi ta voix pour danser, je suis toute seule et je me fais chier," set the tone for the song, highlighting a sense of isolation and longing for companionship. The protagonist dreams of saving their partner, but the repeated attempts seem futile, reflecting the cyclical nature of their emotional turmoil.

The chorus, with its imagery of searching for a shining body among the stars, symbolizes the elusive nature of the partner's presence. The protagonist feels lost and cold, fearing abandonment and the uncertainty of their relationship. The line "Je vais gagner dans cette histoire, et la tête à l'envers on se la met tous les soirs" suggests a nightly struggle to make sense of their emotions, yet they still hold onto hope, questioning why they believe in the relationship despite the pain it brings.

The song also touches on the destructive patterns within the relationship, described as a "putain de piège, manège d'enfer," a hellish carousel of emotions. The protagonist acknowledges the dangerous games they play and the exhaustion it brings, questioning the worth of investing time in a relationship that may not be rooted in genuine love. The repeated plea, "dis-moi pourquoi j'y crois," underscores the internal conflict and the search for meaning in the chaos of their feelings. Ultimately, "Naïve" captures the raw and often contradictory emotions that come with love and the struggle to find clarity amidst the confusion.
