SONG MEANING

Hang on to your wish list, because Nilusi’s “Je Veux” is a whirlwind of desires! The French singer strings together a cascade of vivid images—bathing in the moon, walking on a hidden lagoon, borrowing someone else’s pain, even tasting another life— to paint the portrait of a restless soul hungry for every shade of experience. Each “Je veux” (“I want”) is a small firework of longing, showing how our cravings stretch from the cosmic (the moon, the ocean) to the intimate (our parents, a borrowed life). Nilusi reminds us that wanting is not just about lacking things; it is the engine that fuels growth, courage, and change.

Listening to this track feels like flipping through a dream diary. One moment she wants the day so she can fill it, the next she needs a storm to shake everything up. The repeating chorus—“Tout ce qui me manquait, tout ce que je n’ai pas, tout ce qui a été qui sera” (“All that I lacked, all that I don’t have, all that has been and will be”)—echoes the universal human drive to bridge past, present, and future with one simple phrase: “Je veux.” Whether you are yearning for new horizons or just day-dreaming about the impossible, Nilusi’s anthem turns every desire into a stepping-stone toward a fuller, braver life.
