Nantes (Click on link or image to play song)
This song has two interpretations for me: both can be connected with.
The first is the obvious; it is about a relationship that is lost. He has not seen her smile and it is ripping him apart. He will gamble is fright and time away. In a year or so it will slip into the sea, his memory of her.
It will all eventually fade from memory, but for now, it's been a long, long time.
There is a second way it can be viewed, which is my favorite. The man is singing about the city Nantes. It is a place where he can go to to feel at peace. We all have a place like this. It has been a long time since he has seen the city's smile.
He is going to gamble his fright and time because the city relieves his fears and time flies when in a place you love. And in the close future it will slip into the sea, meaning he will have to leave.
It then sings about not raising your voices, it is just another night in Nantes. This shows that the city is peaceful. It is not a wild party city. It is a peaceful getaway city.
The second view is more romantic.
