- In the song, the artist complains about not being loved by the woman he loves and her indifference towards him: "Why I bleed / And not you". It should be noted that this song is not autobiographical, because according to Goldman, it is "not a situation" that he has experienced.
- The song can also mean a love or friendship between two men, and that in reality the man that Jean-Jacques Goldman interprets in the song is addressing his friend who left with the woman. The clue to this interpretation can be found in the clip, when the two men abandon the double bed to the woman and one goes to sleep on a couch with a blanket that is too small and the other on an uncomfortable chair with a sleeping bag, which means that the two men were not used to sleeping like this, they probably shared a room and slept in the same bed. In the same clip, Goldman has no affectionate look or gesture towards the woman that would indicate that he feels attracted to her, and then when his friend leaves, he lowers his head as his friend turns to get into the car after a final exchange of glances. On the other hand, at the end of the clip, Jean-Jacques Goldman sings and plays the guitar while watching his friend on television in a video they made, with the woman barely visible in the background. In conclusion, nothing in the text indicates that he is addressing a woman.
- The actress Gaëlle Legrand plays the role of the young woman in the video and the director Bernard Schmitt plays the role of Jean-Jacques Goldman's friend.
