Dragqueen
Eiffel Lyrics

The song "Dragqueen" by Eiffel is a reflection on the end of the party, the end of the night. The singer sings "C'est la fin de l'after" which translates to "it's the end of the after-party". The drag queen in the song is tired and can no longer keep up with the drug use, as the singer sings "Mon dragqueen n'a plus le coeur à la défonce, n'a plus le coeur d'une héroine" which translates to "My drag queen no longer has the heart to get high, no longer has the heart of a heroine". There is also a sense of going back to reality as the drag queen removes her makeup, with the line "Quand tombent tes faux cils" which translates to "When your false eyelashes fall".

The singer wants to escape with the drag queen, to a place of imagination, where they can be free and leave behind all of their problems. The line "Jetons-nous par dessus bord" which translates to "Throw ourselves overboard" gives an image of jumping off a ship into the sea, escaping from reality. The idea of wanting to escape reality is further explored in the line "Le désir d'être un Dieu sur terre ne s'assouvit qu'avec la mort" which translates to "The desire to be a God on earth is only satisfied with death". This line implies that the singer feels that they can only truly escape when they die, becoming like a God and leaving behind all earthly problems.

Overall, the song "Dragqueen" by Eiffel is a reflection on the end of the party and the desire to escape reality. Through the character of the drag queen, the singer explores themes of drug use, exhaustion, and the need for escape.
