"'Je T’efface' is about removing an ex from the picture... ‘Je T’efface’ quite literally means ‘I erase you’ in French. I wrote this song when I was in that stage in the breakup where you're almost done mourning the relationship, getting ready to move on but your lives are still intertwined-- same friends, same town, same favorite sushi restaurant.. but you’re not together anymore.
It’s almost IMPOSSIBLE not to run into them. It's also about looking back at the relationship with the rose tinted glasses removed and finally realizing that not everything was as romantic and poetic as it seemed to be at the time.. Like in the first verse “c’est que de la prose, c’est plus poétique’ translates to “it’s just prose, it’s no longer poetic”
