Avant Le Trône

Описание: Track 5 from Couronnes sur des Os

“Avant Le Trône” is a confession whispered before coronation—
a reckoning with the life that existed before the crown,
and the self that begins to die the moment the gold draws near.

The song opens with restrained classical piano,
soft enough to feel like memory,
heavy enough to feel like warning.
The first verse reveals the education of an heir:
how to bow,
how to smile on command,
how to look strong while breaking quietly inside.

The pre‑chorus exposes the truth beneath the ceremony:
the crown is never empty—
it simply waits to be fed.

The French chorus is a lament for the self that existed before duty:
a life where time could still be chosen,
where the name was still one’s own,
where the weight of gold had not yet begun to tremble in the hands.

Verse II deepens the dread:
duty disguised as hunger,
fate used to excuse cruelty,
and the ghost of the previous ruler breathing through every inherited gesture.
The fear is not of being hated—
but of becoming him.

The bridge is devastating in its honesty:
knowing the monster does not prevent the transformation.
Knowledge sharpens the weight;
it does not break the circle.

The final chorus collapses inward,
a quiet admission that the crown speaks softly,
persuasively,
and that the throne begins inside long before it is ever worn.

A confession.
A warning.
A portrait of the moment before power claims its next heir.
