La Serre Lyrics in English Voyou

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Serre by Voyou from French to English.
In the greenhouse
Ivy and succulents
Stick to plexiglass
To find a place
We pile up
In the artificial jungle
Nothing, not even the sun
Do not enter or pass
We miss our forests
Our dawns and our plants
Our infernal decor
Our arrogant fauns
In the greenhouse
We bury ourselves
We fade away
We hold each other
We get dirty
Under this glass prison
With a single gesture and everything changes
We despise each other
We jostle
Piled up, tensions are fueled
We are consumed
The greenhouse is sealed, it doesn't matter
With a single gesture and everything changes
We despise each other
We jostle
Piled up, tensions are fueled
We are consumed
The greenhouse will be our grave
We spent hours
We spent days
To wait under vacuum
In this arid climate
Under the electric mist
We still understand each other
We can no longer feel
But our minds are outside
The walls shake and bend
Crack and clutter
To make one tremble with fear
Even the strongest
And we make our fears tremble
Hours and days
And it makes the walls shake
As long as they crack
And we crash and we throw ourselves, harder and harder
To make one tremble with fear
Until death, that's it, the greenhouse explodes
Burst in the air
In a thousand pieces of glass
With a single gesture and everything changes
We despise each other
We jostle
Piled up, tensions are fueled
We are consumed
The greenhouse is sealed, it doesn't matter
With a single gesture and everything changes
We despise each other
We jostle
Piled up, tensions are fueled
We are consumed
The greenhouse will be our grave
The greenhouse will be our grave
And everything shakes up
We jostle
The greenhouse will be our grave
We are consumed
We jostle
The greenhouse will be our grave

SONG MEANING

Imagine a greenhouse so packed with vines, succulents, and people that the glass walls start to shake. In “La Serre,” French artist Voyou turns this steamy hothouse into a metaphor for modern life: we crowd together in an artificial jungle, fighting for space and sunlight that never truly breaks through. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of ivy clinging to plexiglass, bodies jostling, and tempers flaring as tension builds under the transparent ceiling. What begins as quiet claustrophobia quickly becomes a chaotic struggle where “one small gesture can make everything tip over,” showing how fragile our carefully controlled environments really are.

Yet the song is not just about confinement. Its climax – the greenhouse shattering into “a thousand shards of glass” – celebrates the explosive release that comes when we refuse to stay boxed in. “La Serre” urges us to recognize the toxic pressure of overcrowded spaces, whether physical or emotional, and to seek freedom before the walls crack on their own. It’s a cinematic reminder that if we let frustration grow unchecked, the very shelter we built can turn into our tomb – but breaking free can also scatter light everywhere.
