Mille Vagues Lyrics in English Feu! Chatterton

Imagine standing on a moonlit beach, the tide rising faster than your thoughts. "Mille Vagues" (“A Thousand Waves”) plunges us into the shock that follows a sudden loss, when reality feels as unpredictable as the sea. Feu! Chatterton paints grief with saltwater colors: the loved one is swept away by a thousand waves, and the narrator is left re-reading a casual "see you tomorrow" that will never come. Each crest and crash mirrors the rush of disbelief, while the repetition of the title turns the ocean into a relentless metronome for the heart.

Yet the song is not only sorrowful. Those same waves that carry the departed also wash away fear, hinting at peace on a “new shore” just out of reach. The singer searches the "drawers" of memory, deciding which moments to keep private, as if protecting seashells from the surf. "Mille Vagues" invites us to feel both the heaviness of goodbye and the strange calm that follows, reminding us that memories—like waves—will keep returning, shaping the sand of who we are.
