Discover the story of the song > Les jardins de minuit – Alcest

The lyrics describe a hidden path at the edge of silver cypresses, where the protagonist leaves behind alluring sirens and lets the stars guide him with their sad song. In the midnight gardens, time has stopped and there are non-human parts mixed within the sleeping blue water. The protagonist asks for spiritual instinct to help embrace the harsh realities of the world and the courage to fully accept both light and darkness. The trees reach towards collected moons and giants rise in the tearing wind of the night.
