France
Dawson Kimya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said, "David, put that seven-inch on
About loving bad boys and then dance with me."
He said, "Silly ass bitch, that's my favorite song."
He put it on and we danced around like monkeys.
And when we couldn't move,
We played monkey ball two,
It's a good thing to do when you're done touring.
There's MeeMee and GonGon
And platforms to land on,
And in the next room we heard Andre snoring.

So we took the dog for a walk in the park,
And we walked,
And we didn't say anything.
At least that I can repeat,
Cause all we did was talk shit
About people that we think are boring.

The phone rang,
It was Nen,
And he was at the Pop,
And he said
"Hurry up! Hang out with me!"
And we did cause I like the Pop
And open mic,
And Nen, and David is the the MC.

And we sang songs all night long,
And we danced.
We sang songs all night long
And we danced,
In France.

I like France, Alita and Clementine,
Don't go to shows but they're hip to the scene.
Jailbait, late for school again.
La Bolduc and El Boidi,
Duking it out for a piece of the pie,
And I finally got mine.
The lemon-meringue kind.
Me and my friend Lisa be,
Girls bein' girls at the monoprix again,
Shoppin', trippin' bourlaren
Shoppin' tripping' bourlaren.

Well, they were lost in the mist
And they didn't have time
To see what I could see
And it hurt me.
And they were driving around with the stereo on,
And there was nothing on the air to relieve me.
We were sitting in the back,
And in the mirror I could see
That you were pointing you guns towards me.
And I knew from the start
That your heart was mine,
But you were too sick a person to marry me.

Sheer wonder, baby.
Sheer wonder, baby.
Sheer wonder, baby.
Sheer wonder, baby.
Sheer wonder, baby.




Sheer wonder, baby.
Sheer wonder, baby.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dawson Kimya's song "France" tell the story of a night spent with friends in France. The song starts with the singer asking her friend David to play a certain song, which they dance to like monkeys. They then play a game called Monkey Ball 2, a good way to relax after touring. The singer mentions her other friends MeeMee, GonGon, and Andre, who is snoring in the next room. They then take a walk in the park with the dog, and talk shit about people they find boring. The phone rings, and it's their friend Nen inviting them to The Pop, an open mic night where David is the MC. They sing and dance all night long in France.


The lyrics also mention other people and things that are associated with France, such as Alita and Clementine who are hip to the scene, Jailbait who is always late for school, La Bolduc and El Boidi who are duking it out for a piece of the pie, and the monoprix where the singer and her friend Lisa like to shop and trip on bourlaren. The lyrics also take a darker turn when the singer talks about feeling hurt because her friends were lost in the mist and couldn't see what she could see, and then about someone pointing guns at her in the back of a car. The song ends with the repeated phrase "Sheer wonder, baby."
