La Fève
Amélie-les-crayons Lyrics

In Amélie-les-crayons's song La fève, the singer talks about the dreams that come with finding the fève, a small trinket that is traditionally hidden in galettes des rois (King cakes) during the Epiphany celebrations in France. The singer dreams of being without worries and as a result becoming a queen, a grand lady, or even a second version of herself. However, the singer also mentions that she has learned through experience that things are not always as they seem, especially in matters of love and romance. She sings about how she has been told about the realities of love and relationships that are often hidden behind the fairy tale-like façade. For instance, the singer talks about how she has come to realize that Hollywood-style kisses are not always so passionate, and that fairy tale princes can have bad breath. She also references other fairy tale characters such as Sleeping Beauty, who snores loudly, and mentions how even rainy weddings can be boring.

The song is, therefore, a reflection on the singer's idealized dreams and the realities of life, particularly in matters of love and relationships. It conveys a sense of disillusionment and demystification, as the singer realizes that the true nature of things is often hidden behind romanticized or idealized versions of life. At the same time, the song also encourages us to embrace our dreams and hopes, while recognizing that they may not always come to fruition exactly as we imagine them.
