Lit De Parade (Feat. Big M
Army of Lovers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up shining
Rise like the sun
Supernature
Forever young
Wake up shining
Mon camarade
Resurrection
Lit de parade

Breakdown of the human flesh
(Innocent)
Creation of eternal dress
The sea the moon the rising sun
(Gently weep)
Tonight prepare my wedding gown
Straight before the owl's call
(It's time to end)
Apocalypse the curtain fall
Treasure is thy honesty
(Your beauty sleep)
I long to live eternally

Blood and earth a sacred place
(Breakaway)
I die to face my maker's face
Pleasure is to pleasure kill
(Have no fear)
Leave my corpse at vultures' will
Damage done I leave behind
(A brand new day)
Afterlife my state of mind
Dream's a dream a time gone by
(Don't shed a tear)
I long to live the day I die

Wake up shining
Rise like the sun
Supernature
Forever young
Wake up shining
Mon camarade
Resurrection
Lit de parade

L'envie d'un certain doux venin
L'envie de l'alchemie
Des anges noires des nuits trops blanches
Plaisir de ma magie
L'envie de mort et perfection
L'envie de kabbala
Jolie dŽmon journŽes trops longes
Plaisir de nirvana

Count the ribbons in the sky
(Return to life)
Sadness makes the ribbons fly
Evil grows a drive for tears
(Heaven sent)
Tears are born in states of fear
Execute manipulate
(Thy heart be still)
God won't let his judgement wait
Cloud the rain with stains of gold
(You've got a friend)
Blessed be thy eternal soul

Blood and earth a sacred place
(Breakaway)
I die to face my maker's face
Pleasure is to pleasure kill
(Have no fear)
Leave my corpse at vultures' will
Damage done I leave behind
(A brand new day)
Afterlife my state of mind
Dream's a dream a time gone by
(Don't shed a tear)
I long to live the day I die

Wake up shining
Rise like the sun
Supernature
Forever young
Wake up shining
Mon camarade




Resurrection
Lit de parade

Overall Meaning

In "Lite de parade," Army of Lovers express their fascination with death and the afterlife, as well as their desire to live forever. The opening lines, "Wake up shining, rise like the sun," suggest a desire to be reborn or resurrected. The lyrics go on to mention a breakdown of the human flesh and the creation of an eternal dressing gown, as if the singer is shedding their mortal body and preparing for a new existence. References to the sea, moon, and rising sun suggest the singer is in tune with the cycles of nature and perhaps seeking to become one with them.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Lit de parade," which can be translated from French to mean "bed of the parade." It's unclear exactly what this is meant to represent, but it could be referring to the idea of a grand funeral procession or an exhibition of one's life and accomplishments. The second verse mentions the singer's desire for a "doux venin," or a sweet poison, and of angels and demons. They seem to be fascinated with the concepts of death, alchemy, and magic.

Проснись выдающимся
Поднимись выше солнца
Сверх существом
Вечно молодым
Проснись выдающимся
Мой друг
Воскресни
Продемонстрируй все
Это о каждом из "нас".Такой текст мог написать только просветленный.

Я встречал людей, которые на протяжении двадцати и более лет думали, что эта группа состоит из евреев, и что она вообще израильская.
