Je n'veux pas rester sage
Dolly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Le mal est entré
Meilleur ennemi
Il sait m'abandonner
Me ramener près de lui

Je n'veux pas rester sage
J'aime le souffre et l'envie
Abuser de mon âge
Je n'veux pas rester sage

Le mal est ma lueur
Son ombre est ma couleur
Le mal est ma lueur
Mon parfum son odeur

Prend ton mal en douceur

Le mal est entré
Et je sais qu'il détruit
Qu'il pourrait me faire crever
Que reste t-il ici ?

Je n'veux pas rester sage
J'aime le souffre et l'envie
Abuser de mon âge
Je n'veux pas rester sage

Le mal est ma lueur

Le mal est entré
Meilleur ennemi




Il sait m'abandonner
Je brûlerais avec lui

Overall Meaning

Dolly's song "Je n'veux pas rester sage" talks about the singer’s relationship with the idea of evil. The first verse talks about how the concept of evil has entered the singer's life and has become their best enemy. The evil is personified as having the ability to abandon the singer but also bring them closer to it. This creates a volatile relationship that the singer cannot turn away from. The chorus then states that the singer does not want to stay "wise," and instead embraces the idea of pain and desire, abusing them because of her age.


The second verse states that the singer's life is full of negativity and that darkness is her light. The singer accepts that the darkness is a part of who she is and that she is drawn towards it. She also mentions that her "perfume is its odor," indicating that this makes her who she is, and she cannot escape it. The next line of the song then advises the listener to take their pain with care. The final line of the song tells us that the evil has entered the singer's life and knows how to destroy her, but she will burn with it anyway.


Overall, the song expresses the idea of not wanting to conform to societal norms and instead embracing one's true self, even if it means letting darkness and evil consume them. The song acknowledges that this path may lead to destruction, but it is a risk the singer is willing to take.
