Phénix V — Album Track 08
Album: Ce qu’il reste de moi
Release: October 21, 2026
And Me?
What is left of you when the two people you love are still connected to each other, but you are left completely alone?
I had always been comfortable being on my own. Living independently, finding my own way, and solving problems had never been difficult for me.
But this was different.
I had discovered a connection unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Something that had become incredibly precious to me, something I had fought so hard not to lose.
And yet, I watched everything slowly fall apart.
First, one of those people disappeared from my life. Then the other connection fell away as well.
Suddenly, I was completely alone.
What made it especially painful was realizing that the other two could still find each other. That they were still sharing moments together, while I seemed to have no place left anywhere.
But that pain went far deeper than losing those two people.
Throughout my life, I had protected myself by building walls around my feelings. Walls that, for a long time, I hadn’t even realized were shielding me from old wounds and the feeling of being excluded.
For the first time, I had let those walls come down. I had opened myself up completely, without the protection I had relied on for so many years.
And it was at that very moment that I found myself alone.
It was as though not only the sadness of that moment came rushing to the surface, but also all the pain I had once protected myself against.
Et moi? is about that pain.
About loving two people and losing them both. About being left out at the very moment you had finally dared to open yourself up completely. And about realizing just how vulnerable you can be when the walls that protected you for so many years are no longer there.
I had finally let my walls come down.
And for the first time, I felt just how deeply it could hurt to be left completely alone.
And me?
Lyrics
Read the complete lyrics (original French with English translation).
Je vous regardais vous rapprocher
I watched you grow closer
Sans savoir où me mettre
Not knowing where I belonged
Je voulais encore croire
I still wanted to believe
Qu’on pouvait rester trois
That the three of us could stay together
Je gardais tout à l’intérieur
I kept everything inside
Pour ne rien faire tomber
So nothing would fall apart
Je souriais quand il le fallait
I smiled when I had to
Pendant que je disparaissais
While I was slowly disappearing
Vous aviez vos regards
You had your shared glances
Vos silences
Your silences
Vos secrets
Your secrets
Et moi
And me
Je cherchais encore
I was still searching
Ma place entre vous deux
For my place between you two
Et moi ?
And me?
Qu’est-ce que je deviens ?
What will become of me?
Quand ceux que j’aime
When the people I love
S’éloignent de mes mains
Slip away from my hands
Et moi ?
And me?
Où est ma place maintenant ?
Where do I belong now?
Je vous ai aimés tous les deux
I loved you both
Et je vous perds en même temps
And I’m losing you both at once
Et moi ?
And me?
J’ai essayé de comprendre
I tried to understand
De pardonner, de retenir
To forgive, to hold on
De croire qu’avec assez d’amour
To believe that with enough love
On pouvait empêcher de partir
We could stop someone from leaving
Mais plus je voulais nous sauver
But the more I wanted to save us
Plus je me perdais moi-même
The more I lost myself
À force de tenir les autres
By trying so hard to hold on to others
J’ai oublié qu’on pouvait m’aimer
I forgot that I, too, could be loved
Vous aviez peut-être déjà
Perhaps you had already
Trouvé votre chemin
Found your way
Pendant que moi
While I
Je cherchais encore
Was still searching
Ce qu’il restait du mien
For what remained of my own
Et moi ?
And me?
Qu’est-ce que je deviens ?
What will become of me?
Quand ceux que j’aime
When the people I love
S’éloignent de mes mains
Slip away from my hands
Et moi ?
And me?
Où est ma place maintenant ?
Where do I belong now?
Je vous ai aimés tous les deux
I loved you both
Et je vous perds en même temps
And I’m losing you both at once
Et moi ?
And me?
Vous avez trouvé votre chemin
You have found your way
Peut-être loin de moi
Perhaps far away from me
Peut-être l’un vers l’autre
Perhaps towards each other
Je ne sais même plus
I don’t even know anymore
J’ai tellement voulu comprendre
I wanted so badly to understand
Retenir ce qui partait
To hold on to what was leaving
Mais certaines réponses
But some answers
Ne viennent jamais
Never come
Et moi ?
And me?
Qu’est-ce que je fais
What do I do
De tout ce qui reste ?
With everything that’s left?
De tout cet amour
With all this love
Qui n’a plus où aller ?
That has nowhere left to go?
Et moi ?
And me?
Où est-ce que je vais maintenant ?
Where do I go now?
Et moi ?
And me?
Où est-ce que je vais maintenant ?
Where do I go now?
Quand ceux que j’aimais
When the people I loved
Ont continué sans moi
Went on without me
Et moi ?
And me?
Qu’est-ce qu’il reste de nous ?
What is left of us?
Des souvenirs
Memories
Des silences
Silences
Et ce vide autour de moi
And this emptiness around me
J’aurais voulu garder quelque chose
I wish I could have kept something
Une main
A hand
Une voix
A voice
Un endroit où revenir
A place to return to
Mais ce soir
But tonight
Il n’y a plus personne
There is no one left
Et moi ?
And me?
Alors voilà
So here we are
Vous êtes partis
You have gone
Et moi
And me
Je suis encore là
I’m still here
Avec tout cet amour
With all this love
Que je ne sais pas où mettre
That I don’t know what to do with
Et maintenant
And now
Je reste seul
I’m left alone
Et moi ?
And me?
