Eiffel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ombre portée de tes hanches
Toute ma fortune
Dans ce silence
Il ne plane plus l'ombre d'un doute
Si j'obtenais carte blanche
Je t'aurais toute
D'incidents en coïncidences
De déviances en déviances
Nul de nous deux n'en nie l'évidence
Et si le printemps avouait
Etre l'esquisse de l'été
Nous serions celle
D'une plume
A la seconde où elle ondule
A détraquer toutes les pendules
Pour enfin s'adonner au flou des
"Tu veux ?"
Aux nuées de nuances
Et j'ai encore mieux
Mille idées, Mille idées
De déviances en déviances
D'incidents en coïncidences
De déviances en déviances
Nul de nous deux n'en nie l'évidence
Toute ma fortune
Dans un silence
Flanquée d'écume
Dérivant
De déviances en déviances
D'incidents en coïncidences
De déviances en déviances
Nul de nous deux n'en nie l'évidence
In "En déviances," Eiffel sings about a woman with a captivating body and presence. The singer's desire for her is emphasized as he declares that all of his fortune lies in the silence created by her presence. There is no doubt about his attraction to her, and he admits that he would do anything to have her. Throughout the song, the lyrics focus on the idea of deviating from the norm, both in terms of actions and feelings. The singer suggests that they have a connection that they cannot deny, and that their "deviances" and "incidents" are mere coincidences that point to an undeniable chemistry between them.
The lyrics take a more poetic turn as the singer describes the two of them as the season of spring, "l'esquisse de l'été" or the sketch of summer. They are on the verge of a new adventure together and ready to embrace the unknown. There is the idea of time standing still, of wanting to break free from the constraints of time and lose themselves in their desires. The singer confesses that he has a myriad of ideas on how to achieve this state of bliss, but it seems that the answer lies in abandoning any inhibitions and embracing the unknown.
Overall, "En déviances" showcases Eiffel’s ability to craft lyrics that evoke vivid images and emotions. The song is about the human experience of desire and the desire to escape the norm in order to find something more fulfilling. It encapsulates the idea of embracing deviance and rejecting societal expectations.
