Song Review // 2022-02-10

Celeste

Assassine(s)

Le coeur noir charbon

---

Vocals

I really like the growls. It sounds very natural. The singing made sense to go with the emotion, and was done very softly and nicely.

Music

I like the starting pace, the changes have a nice flow, the atmosphere is well done.

Lyrics

I found it hard to make out the lyrics, partly because they are a mixture of French and English. They are new to me, but I know they often talk about abuse, and their video indicates that as well. I think this is really about that very thing - a relationship that isn't healthy, and the thoughts that go through the person's head to keep them there. Like the other person is being good somehow by not completely choking them to death, or by being kind for a moment. It is amazing how things can happen.

Literally all I could hear:

Please let me take one more breath. Please offer me one more chance. Please let me take on more breath, one more breath.
