And then...
I remembered something you said to me weeks ago.
"A meaningful yes requires meaningful no's."
This song is full of meaningful no's.
No...
he isn't innocent.
No...
love doesn't magically save him.
No...
compassion doesn't erase consequences.
Yet despite all those refusals...
the song still says:
Je te vois.
"I see you."
Not "I absolve you."
Not "I understand everything."
Just...
"I see you."
