Amandine
Carole Laure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vacille comme ces chandelles
Qu'on allume quand on donne
La raison d'Amandine
Chancelle comme ces ondines
l'humeur sous-marine
La raison d'Amandine
La fait un peu plus belle
D'etincelles
Amandine
Tu me dis que le r\u00e9el
Ne l'est pas tant que \u00e7a
Je te crois quand je te vois pr\u00e8s du ciel
Amandine
Tu sais tu n'as pas tort
Quand les autres s'enferment
Amandine toi tu t'en sors
La raison s'acclimate
Au normal d'Amandine
Au sud de la douleur
Des furies en couleurs
Amandine
Tu me dis que le r\u00e9el
Ne l'est pas tant que \u00e7a
Je te crois quand je te vois pr\u00e8s du ciel
Amandine
Tu sais tu n'as pas tort
D'arraisonner l'amour
De raisonner la mort
Quand les autres s'enferment
Amandine toi tu t'en sors
Amandine
Amandine toi tu t'en sors
Amandine
Amandine
The lyrics to Carole Laure's song Amandine describe a woman named Amandine whose reason and sanity seem to waver like the flickering of a candle flame. The opening lines compare the instability of Amandine's reason to that of swaying candles. This comparison highlights her unpredictable nature and lack of a fixed, rigid mindset. The next line references "ondines," which are mythological beings associated with bodies of water such as rivers and lakes. This metaphor emphasizes Amandine's fluidity and her tendency to be influenced by her surroundings, much like how the mood underwater can be ever-changing.
The chorus of the song features Amandine being praised for her ability to think beyond what everyone else perceives as reality. She is seen as someone who is able to rise above the constraints that society places on people and thinks outside of the box. In the second verse, it is mentioned that Amandine's version of "normal" has adapted to her own way of thinking. Despite experiencing pain and chaos like everyone else, Amandine is able to make sense of it all and see the beauty in things that others may not.
Overall, the song is a tribute to someone who is unafraid to challenge conventional thinking and find meaning beyond what is seen on the surface. It celebrates the ability to see things in a different light and embrace a unique way of being.
