Discover the story of the song > Allez Les Blues – Los Campesinos!

The singer is talking about a past romantic partner who hurt them. They use violent metaphors, like holding a weapon to their face, to describe how they felt. The chorus repeats that the protagonist would rather be comforted by their own emotions (represented by the phrase "Allez les blues") than by their former partner. The bridge speaks to the emotional toll this relationship took on them, but ultimately the protagonist says the pain is worth it because they are now free from their ex.
