Daisybox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Juliette, elle danse
Juliette en silence
La tête en tranches
Et la cadence étanche
Juliette, elle danse
Juliette en silence
Je note qu'elle se noie
Tout doucement, étanche
Elle flotte, même, je crois
Tout doucement, étanche
Juliette, elle flotte
Juliette, elle chuchotte
Des mots qui nagent
Et des images en toc et toc
Juliette, on danse ?
Juliette, on s'élance
Tu me condenses et tu me lances
Etanche, étanche
The lyrics to "Etanche" by Daisybox tell the story of Juliette, who is dancing in silence with her head in pieces and a steady rhythm. The singer notes that Juliette seems to be slowly drowning, yet she remains watertight and floats effortlessly. Juliette whispers words and images that are shallow and unfulfilling, yet she continues to dance and propel the singer forward with a deceptive energy. The song is a reflection on the human capacity for self-deception and how we often hide our inner turmoil behind social masks and external appearances. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, but also a warning against ignoring our problems and drowning in our own self-denial.

Juliette, on s'élance
Juliette, let's go for it
Tu me condenses et tu me lances
You compress me and you throw me
