Trop Sensible

In her song "Trop Sensible," Zaz delves into the struggles and beauty of being highly sensitive in a world that often fails to understand or appreciate such depth of feeling. The repeated refrain, "T'es Trop Sensible c'est vrai, et les autres voient pas qui tu es," underscores the isolation and misunderstanding that sensitive individuals frequently experience. Zaz acknowledges this sensitivity as both a burden and a unique gift, one that she herself shares, as she sings, "Moi aussi ça a faillit me tuer," indicating that she too has felt overwhelmed by her emotions.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the internal turmoil that comes with heightened sensitivity. Lines like "Tu t'angoisses tu paniques t'es en crise" and "Tu sens la souffrance comme une bombe" convey the intense emotional experiences that can feel like crises. Zaz also touches on the broader societal issues that sensitive people are acutely aware of, such as environmental degradation and social injustices, which add to their emotional burden. The song suggests that this sensitivity allows one to connect deeply with the world, feeling its pain and beauty more intensely than others.

Despite the challenges, Zaz offers a message of hope and empowerment. She encourages sensitive individuals to embrace their unique perspective and use it to bring light into the world. "C'est à toi d'exprimer ta beauté, d'éclairer de tes yeux," she sings, urging them to find strength within and to shine brightly even when surrounded by darkness. The song is a call to recognize the value of sensitivity and to use it as a force for good, rather than seeing it as a weakness. Zaz's empathetic and supportive tone provides comfort and solidarity to those who feel deeply, reminding them that their sensitivity is a powerful and beautiful part of who they are.
