Sous La Surface
The song begins with a slow tempo and a minimal ambient texture, led by soft pads, dreamy guitars and distant synth swells. The verse sections are calm and introspective, featuring ethereal background textures. A gradual build adds orchestral layers and shoegaze-inspired guitars drenched in delay and reverb. The chorus-like peaks deliver an epic, post-rock inspired release, with maximalist instrumentation, wide stereo imaging, and a soaring, distant female vocal. Crescendos are marked by saturated drums, and cinematic dynamic swells. The song ends in a rich, emotional climax, where the soundscape becomes vast, textured, and cathartic, built on a shoegaze wall of sound inspired by delayed, reverb-drenched guitars.

Lyrics
Verse 1
J’ai couru loin de moi, trop souvent,
Pensant qu’ailleurs serait apaisant.
J’ai imité des voix, des gens,
Pensant que demain j'aurais moins de tourments
Verse 2
J’ai caché dans les silences
Des vérités que j’voulais pas voir,
Mais rien n’efface l'essence
De c’que j’suis au fond, quelque part.
Chorus
Alors j’me prends comme je viens,
Avec mes ombres, mes matins.
J’suis pas celle que j’devrais être,
Mais j'ai plus la force de paraître
Et si j’peux pas me changer
J’peux au moins m’embrasser.
Post-chorus
J’me fuis encore parfois,
Mais moins qu’avant,
Moins qu’autrefois.
