Discover the story of the song > Le Secret Des Banquises – Alain Bashung

The lyrics express the protagonist's doubts and uncertainties about various things, such as daylight saving time, who sinks boats and throws stones, the angle of the couch, the concept of longevity, and fixing spilled cream. They question if others have similar doubts and ask if they have doubts, ideas, different shapes, and currencies from Asia and the heart. They express doubts about the time the partner comes home but are certain that they strongly desired them. The protagonist also mentions being part of a political party, feeling bored, having sensitive relaxation, a fragile label, and a preference for a certain brand of champagne. They ask if others have doubts, ideas, dreams, and awakened sweetness. They mention the taste for danger, decisions to make, networks, redness, and strong nerves. The lyrics end by urging the listeners to decipher matters, unpack the media, cut off the call of the wind, and uncover the secret of the icebergs.
