Sa Majesté
Détroit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il y a des hiérarchies qu'il vaut mieux respecter
Sa majesté domine bien son sujet
Et elle tient sous son joue des caniches
Des toutous (ouf, ouf)
Sa majesté ondule
Ondule tandis qu'elle manipule son petit nonclot
Dans notre servitude elle trouve sa plénitude
Sa majesté domine bien son sujet
Elle fascine son audience. distribue sa semence
Elle enfile, elle empale, inocule son poison
Elle empile à foison les supplices de tantale
Sans jamais oublier de prendre
Son pied des stalles
Climb for my majesty
A bone to chew for you and me
Climb for my majesty
A bone to chew for you and me
Vous êtes en âge de savoir
Vous êtes en âge de comprendre, de comprendre
Vous êtes en âge de subir
Vous êtes en âge
"Oh, on est dans le beau drap"
"Oh, on croise du beau linge"
"Vous repasserez, vous repasserez"
M'a dit la femme de ménage
Ah, d'accord
Sa majesté domine bien son sujet
Elle déclenche, elle déclenche des avalanches
De protestations larvées, de consentements inavoués
"Ah aujourd'hui je sens que souffle la révolte"
"Ah et puis"
"À quoi bon?"
Sa majesté, sa majesté domine bien son sujet
Sa majesté, sa majesté
Climb for my majesty
A bone to chew for you and me
Climb for my majesty
A bone to chew for you and me
Climb for my majesty
A bone to chew for you and me
Climb for my majesty
"Détroit's Sa Majesté" depicts a dominant figure, who maintains a hierarchy that one must respect. This character's authority extends to those who grovel at their feet as the subject manipulates and maneuvers their way through society. The lyrics suggest that this person excels in their servitude by creating movements, provoking protests that are only masked by silence and giving satisfaction to their own adversities. The song highlights the fact that the subject's audience is fascinated despite their detractors, and their decadence is a form of manipulation.
The song shows the opinion of society and its hierarchies. It reveals how often we idolize people and treat them as royalty. This person's power comes from their ability to manipulate people to their will, satisfying their needs while sending their subjects to a life of servitude. The lyrics suggest that society is at a crossroads, where people either accept servitude or rebel.
