The lyrics to ’Évidemment« by Lomepal
Lomepal, whose real name is Antoine Valentinelli, tells the story in this song of the transition from anonymity to the spotlight. Years of feeling invisible, and then redemption and success, which come all at once.
It all comes down to one question: «Why do you want to love me now?»
Here are the complete lyrics, as written by Lomepal.
[Intro]
Okay, okay
Hey
[Verse number 1]
The greatest sages say that true happiness lies in balance
This might sound stupid, but I've never wanted anyone to have a quiet life
When I was little, I wasn't really sleepy—dying at the top like King Kong, the only dream that matters, but why me?
Why would I be any different from others? My only gift is wanting to be different from others.
And for that, I have the drive to win, the drive to be the best on the final page
If it ever works, I'm leaving more like a wine stain, oh
I feel like I can hear myself in my early songs, always screaming like some drunk asshole
Except that now I'm not nineteen anymore, and I'm pretty sure those weirdos in showbiz say my records are selling, yeah
Sold-out concerts in every city in France—we’d already been there in a van
On stage, I give it my all—there are two thousand people in front of me
But I still feel awkward when I talk to a fan
[Refrain]
Of course I want to shine like gold—I've spent my whole life invisible, like the air
Why do you want to love me now? Why do you want to love me now, yeah
Millions of hours alone in the dark—thank God, I finally have confidence in myself
Why do you want to love me now?
There's no point in loving me anymore
[Verse number 2]
You can only recognize Pal when he's alone in a bar at 3 a.m.
It's colder under my chest than in Iceland; it's warmer in my boxers than in Nepal
I'm just messing around—sorry—every week, I sleep with a new girl I don't know
Am I trying to get revenge—revenge for all those years when girls liked me less than the weird guys?
Where I felt like a stranger everywhere, where I was just there to feed their egos when those bitches were acting up
Today, I'm the one climbing the stairs where they
All right, I was in on it when I got caught up in their schemes
It was still better than being invisible
Now I don't feel anything anymore; all I care about is their looks, and every night the devil comes to visit me
No more of those fake, mean girls, kid—I was so stupid.
I want an Oscar for every movie I've made up in my head, damn it
I used to be a little cold, but now I'm completely cold—it's too late to make up for what's missing
[Refrain]
Of course I want to shine like gold—I've spent my whole life invisible, like the air
Why do you want to love me now? Why do you want to love me now, yeah
Millions of hours alone in the dark—thank God, I finally have confidence in myself
Why do you want to love me now?
There's no point in loving me anymore
Of course I want to shine like gold—I've spent my whole life invisible, like the air
Why do you want to love me now? Why do you want to love me now, yeah
Millions of hours alone in the dark—thank God, I finally have confidence in myself
Why do you want to love me now?
There's no point in loving me anymore
