Sublime & Silence Lyrics in English Julien Doré

Julien Doré’s “Sublime & Silence” is like walking through a deserted ballroom after the party has ended. The French singer paints a picture of two lovers who can no longer be together, yet each echo of their romance still twirls around the empty room. Every line contrasts dazzling memories (“you dance around me”) with the aching hush that follows (“silence around me”). The repeated chorus Le vide aurait suffi (“emptiness would have been enough”) suggests that, even though nothingness could have closed the story, tiny reminders – flowers left behind, a river that looks like the loved one – keep the relationship hauntingly alive.

Underneath the poetic images lies a tug-of-war between holding on and letting go. The singer flees Paris, caresses absence itself, and runs to mountains and rivers, yet he knows the other person “still stays” in every symbol of their past. Love is shown as both violence and promise – everything the loved one hates, yet everything that keeps their memory burning. The result is a bittersweet ode to love’s persistent afterglow, proving that silence can shout just as loudly as a heart in full song.
