"listen before i go" is a song by Billie Eilish, translated into French by Genius Traductions françaises. The lyrics explore themes of depression, despair, and the desire for release from emotional pain. The song seems to be from the perspective of someone who is contemplating suicide and expressing their feelings towards their loved ones before they go.

In the first verse, the narrator requests to be taken to the roof, symbolizing a desire to disconnect from the world and observe it from a distance. They express their longing for eternal love but also criticize the arrogance of those who claim its existence. The line "Quitte-moi comme tu le fais" translates to "Leave me like you do," reflecting a sense of resignation or acceptance towards being abandoned.

The pre-chorus suggests that the narrator is aware of their impending departure. They urge anyone who needs them or wants to see them to hurry, emphasizing the limited time they have left.

The chorus illustrates the narrator's feeling of hopelessness and lack of options. They apologize but state that apologies can no longer save them. The repetition of "Désolée" (Sorry) emphasizes their resignation. The mention of being "en bas" (down) implies feeling trapped in a dark place or being buried beneath their emotions.

In the second verse, the narrator mentions the taste of salty tears on their cheeks, indicating sadness and perhaps the effects of a year-long struggle. They acknowledge feeling unwell and scattered, rejecting the idea that they are the only thing that matters to someone. The phrase "Quitte-moi, déjà vu" (Leave me, déjà vu) suggests a sense of familiarity with being abandoned or rejected.

The outro addresses the narrator's friends, expressing love for them and acknowledging that they will be missed. However, there is also a sense of defiance, as they say they are not sorry for their decision.

Overall, "listen before i go" delves into the emotional turmoil and desperation experienced by someone on the verge of taking their own life. The song portrays their longing for understanding and connection, while also highlighting their acceptance of the finality of their decision.
