1. Dionysos is a Fren… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist under this name:
1. Dionysos is a French rock band formed in 1993 in Valence, Drôme. The band consists of five members known as Élisabeth Maistre a.k.a Babet, Guillaume Garidel a.k.a Guillermo, Mathias Malzieu, Michaël Ponton a.k.a Miky Biky and Éric Serra Tosio a.k.a Rico. Mathias is the main songwriter and fronts the band. Their latest studio album is La mécanique du cœur. Their first release, Happening Songs, was entirely in English, and Babet wasn't part of the band yet. In 1999, they released Haïku, which brought the band into the public eye, mainly thanks to the success of the single Coccinelle.
The name is based on the name of the ancient Greek god, Dionysus (Dionysos in French).
Almost all Dionysos songs evoke a surreal world, in part due to the influence of Tim Burton and Roald Dahl on the group. The song La métamorphose de Mister Chat tells the story of a ladys' man transformed into a cat, and the story of the group's biggest hit (Song for Jedi) is encapsulated in the English chorus, "When I was a child, I was a Jedi".
Babet is currently working at the same time on her own solo album (released on March 5, 2007), and career. The lead singer, Mathias Malzieu, is also working on other projects such as the career of Olivia Ruiz (his partner) and his other hobby, writing (he published three books in 2002, 2005 and 2007). His second book is based on the same world as the album Monsters in Love. The sixth member of the group, Stéphan Bertholio a.k.a Stéphano, was their backliner before playing with them during live tour, and working on the fifth album Monsters in Love.
2. Dionysos was a Canadian band formed in 1967 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Mademoiselle Clé
Dionysos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu peux visiter mon corps
De l'intérieur appuyer sur mon cœur pour me faire pleurer
Et parfois même les banderilles qui sont cachées entre tes cils peuvent me découper
C'est pas l'alcool qui va me recoller, mais la colle de tes baisers,
Passe bien partout sans rien oublier,
Non non non non rien oublier
Mademoiselle clé
Mademoiselle clé
Oh Mademoiselle clé
Je sais où appuyer pour te faire rire, frire même,
déposer des oiseaux autour de tes os pour t'offrir la sensation de voler
Volets volets claques tes talons m'aiguillent
j'arrêterais bien le temps pour qu'il dure un peu plus longtemps
Quand tu plantes tes lèvres jusqu'aux dents
Ça me fait un effet
Comme la fée bleue celle de Pinocchio mais en plus vrai
Sauf que ce n'est pas le nez qui s'allonge Sauf que ce n'est pas le nez qui s'allonge
Et qu'il n'y a pas d'histoires de mensonges Et qu'il n'y a pas d'histoires de mensonges
Non ce n'est pas mon nez qui s'allonge Non ce n'est pas ton nez qui s'allonge
C'est encore mieux que dans les songes
Mademoiselle clé
Mademoiselle clé
The lyrics of Dionysos's Mademoiselle Clé talk about a woman who is the key to open the singer's inner self. She has the power to explore his body from the inside and even make him cry by touching his heart. The woman's eyelashes are compared to hidden bullfighting arrows that can also hurt him. However, the singer finds solace in her kisses, saying that they are more effective than alcohol in calming him down. He praises her tongue as well, which shines like a bullfighting arrow and has the power to glue him back together when he is broken.
The singer illustrates his ability to make the woman laugh and feels like he can even fry her. He offers to make her feel like she is flying by placing birds around her bones. The sound of her heels clapping together in contrast to the bells of a music box thrills the singer to the extent that he wants to stop the time from slipping by. When the woman plants her lips on his teeth, it creates a magical effect that he compares to Pinocchio's blue fairy, but even better than any dream. The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love, passion, and intimacy.
