Fortune
Dance a la plage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said she was 18 but she lied
'Cause I found out that she was 35
She knew that it was wrong, but still she led me on woah oh
And I was well aware, but still I didn't care no no

Bleached blonde hair and skinny jeans
A stare so rare like a beauty queen
I swear I saw her in a magazine

Thought it was her
Must have been her
Knew it was her from the magazines
That it was her
Yes it was her
Yes it was yes it was yes it was

Oh we were rolling like a hurricane
I guess that it goes to show
the fortune nothing goes your way
If you just let go

People stare as we walk on by
Holding hands with a younger guy
But I don't care if she don't mind

Thought it was her
Must have been her
Knew it was her from the magazines
That it was her
Yes it was her
Yes it was yes it was yes it was

Oh we were rolling like a hurricane
I guess that it goes to show
The fortune nothing goes your way
If you just let go
If you just let go

She said she was 18 but she lied
'Cause I found out that she was 35

Oh we were rolling like a hurricane
I guess that it goes to show
The fortune nothing goes your way




If you just let go
If you just let go

Overall Meaning

In "Fortune," Dance A La Plage sings about a relationship built on a lie. The singer meets a woman who claims to be 18 years old, only to find out later that she is actually 35. Despite knowing the truth, the singer continues the relationship secretively, ignoring the disapproving stares of others. The song features a catchy and upbeat tune that belies the darker themes in the lyrics.


The song highlights the danger of deception and the consequences of letting go of one's conscience for the sake of pleasure. The woman in this story misled the singer, preying on his youthful naivete and desire for adventure. The singer, in turn, is willing to overlook her lies and the ethical complications of their age difference for a temporary escape from reality. The song teaches us that self-deception and escapism, even in a relationship context, can lead to unpleasant consequences.

She is holding hands with a man younger than her apparent age


But I don't care if she don't mind
I am not concerned if she is not bothered
