Comme Tous Les Soirs

Zaho's song 'Comme Tous Les Soirs' delves into the complexities of a deteriorating romantic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers who once shared a deep connection but are now drifting apart. The repetition of 'mon amour' (my love) underscores the lingering affection and the pain of their current state. The phrase 'on était libres' (we were free) reminisces about a time when their love was unburdened and full of joy, contrasting sharply with their present situation where their 'âmes sont en péril' (souls are in peril).

The chorus reveals the cyclical nature of their interactions, where every evening ('comme tous les soirs') they confront the same issues. The line 'on ne peut plus se mentir' (we can no longer lie to each other) signifies a breaking point, where the facade of their relationship can no longer be maintained. The metaphor of 'laisser les mots nous trahir' (let the words betray us) suggests that their conversations are filled with unspoken truths and hidden emotions that ultimately lead to their downfall.

In the second verse, Zaho explores the theme of anonymity and denial. The lovers have become 'des anonymes' (anonymous people) who live in denial of their true feelings. The 'mélancolie' (melancholy) and the worsening silence between them highlight the emotional distance that has grown. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and a call for liberation from their 'chaînes invisibles' (invisible chains), indicating that the only way forward is to acknowledge their reality and part ways.

'Comme Tous Les Soirs' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the painful process of letting go. Zaho's emotive delivery and the lyrical depth make it a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the heartache of a fading relationship.
