"Lis Dans Mes Pensees"

[ocelot]

Lis Dans Mes Pensées
From the album "Comme Vous..."

On ne m’a pas appris
A aimer
Tout ce que je suis
J’ai dû l’inventer
On ne m’a pas permis
De pleurer
Tout ce que je vis
Me fait vaciller
On m’a juste laissée
Le cœur mort
A trop m’oublier
Sans aucun effort

Lis, lis dans mes pensées
Et viens, viens me chercher
Je ne saurai pas faire
Le premier pas
Lis, lis entre les lignes
N’attends, n’attends pas un signe
Je ne saurai pas
J’ai trop peur de moi

On m’a tant abîmée
Mise en pièces
J’ai désespéré
Que l’amour renaisse
On m’a tellement privée
D’oxygène
Que pas un baiser
N’adoucit ma peine
Mais quand je sens tes yeux
Ta présence
Je rêve que les cieux
M’accordant une chance

Lis, lis dans mes pensées
Et viens, viens me chercher
Je ne saurai pas faire
Le premier pas
Lis, lis entre les lignes
N’attends, n’attends pas un signe
Jusqu’au bout de moi, J’ai
Trop peur du froid
Lis, lis dans mon passé
Et viens, viens me sauver
Tout au fond de moi, j’ai
J’ai la place pour toi
Pour toi…

Read Into My Thoughts

One has not learned
Has love
All this that I am
One has not allowed
To cry
All this that I live
To do me to falter
One has just me to leave
The dead heart
Has to forget me
No, no effort

Read, read into my thoughts
And come, come to look for me
I will not know to do
Not the first
Read, read between the lines
Wait not, wait not a sign
I will not know
I have too much fear of me

One has damaged me so much
Putting some pieces
I have been hopeless
That love re-emerges
One has such a private life
Of oxygen
That not a kiss
Softens my pain
But when I feel your eyes
Your presence
I dream that the skies
Gives me a chance

Read, read into my thoughts
And come, come to look for me
I will not know to do
Not the first
Read, read between the lines
Wait not, wait not a sign
To the end of me
I have too much fear of the cold
Read, read into my passing
And come, come to save me
All in the back of me
I have
I have the place for you
For you…

I think I almost understand this one, but I want to be sure. Leona, can you give your observations to help me along?

[ocelot]

I think it's basicly about pain and she's asking this person who has hurt her to read into her thoughts. To try and figure out what she is really feeling and what's at the bottom of her soul.

[achebeautiful]

It almost looks to me as if she is saying that she wants this person to come looking for her in all of the pain, but that she cannot promise that she will be receptive if found.

[ocelot]

I think you are right.

That would make it a very universal song and one that a lot of people could relate to because there are so many who want so much to be loved and understood in all of their pain and yet cannot open up enough to let anybody in. I will be very interested in hearing this song! Thanks for sharing the lyrics!
