Comme Tu Dis

Pomme's song "Comme Tu Dis" delves into the themes of self-doubt, loneliness, and the struggle to find self-worth. The lyrics poignantly express the singer's feelings of isolation and the existential question of what it means to be alive without friends. The line, "Et si je n’ai pas d’amis, Qu’est ce que ça vaut d’être en vie" (And if I have no friends, what is the point of being alive), captures the depth of her loneliness and the value she places on human connection. This sentiment is further explored as she grapples with how to express her emotions, particularly her tears, in the present moment.

The recurring refrain, "J’essayerai de croire en moi, Comme tu dis que tu crois en moi" (I will try to believe in myself, as you say you believe in me), highlights the central theme of the song: finding self-belief through the faith that someone else has in her. This external validation becomes a crucial source of strength for the singer, suggesting that the support and belief of others can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and self-acceptance. The repetition of this line underscores the importance of this external belief in her journey towards self-confidence.

The song also touches on the cyclical nature of emotions, with lines like "Si la tristesse me défie, Sous mes paupières fait son lit" (If sadness challenges me, makes its bed under my eyelids) and "Après la pluie le beau temps" (After the rain, the good weather). These metaphors illustrate the inevitability of emotional highs and lows, and the hope that follows periods of sadness. Pomme's gentle, introspective style, combined with her emotive lyrics, creates a deeply relatable and moving piece that resonates with anyone who has struggled with self-doubt and the search for inner strength.
